I've talked to two people I knew in high school because I ran into them, I felt bad for not remembering their names.

That always is kind of a bummer. I occasionally see people I knew from high school and I try to avoid them at all cost.

Hello, Steve. It's the middle of the day in the US, isn't it? Why aren't you at work? Still sick?
No, that's right, you had a staff meeting or something the other day. How did that go? Did you resolve those issues you had at work?
|
I am at work! I fortunately have a job where I do a lot of solitary work (I'm the darkened office at the end of the hall with the weird music), so I have occasional chunks of time to be on PA and such. I'm mostly recovered from my sickness last week, thanks for checkin'. As for the "issues" which cheesed me off last week, yes, they're resolved now. Though I work alone a lot of the time, I'm also in charge of a committee consisting of people (doctors) from all over the city. Coordinating them and getting a consensus can be tedious work, and when they finally make a decision and then a couple of them come to me individually afterwards to make little changes under the table, well, that gets my goat.

You don't necessarily need to have the same friends as you had in school. I've lived all over the world... but I still managed to find people I like. Though I will admit it was hardest in the States...
but this all goes to how you judge friends and sh*t and bla bla bla.
You just gotta be friendly... and this is coming with someone with self-defined trust issues... |
People in the states suck on the normal. You just gotta go as many places as possible and meet so many people that it doesnt matter eventually what any of their names are but EVENTUALLY you will find that half percent of people that are awesome. It's difficult but I have eventually found a few good circles of friends to be a part of. My friend's hippie family that loves tech death metal told me I was in their family a couple weeks ago. And I know 5 people that are going to be my best friends for life that I would cut my nuts off for. But this is coming from someone who sat by himself at lunch in middle school. I used to go in the bathroom so I wouldn't be embarassed to eat alone - i fkin ate in bathroom stalls sometimes. It took me YEARS to understand that people enjoy my company.

Yeah, I have good colleagues I enjoy company with, so I'm not totally lonely, but I have no-one I would call close friends. And I also enjoy my own company, so all in all I'm pretty happy with my situation. Wouldn't mind having a good female friend though, if you know what I saying.

I have a lot of friends, but maybe only 2-3 close friends (someone I can confide in), and only one of those is someone I actually see with any regularity. My social life revolves mostly around my daughter's activities.

And of course, my wife is my closest friend, I don't know how I'd get by without her. I don't talk about her a lot, but she's central to my life.

hm yeah that lunch thing happened at times... very awkward... Usually when I had a row with someone from the table and he'd go all f**k this guy and sh*t.
But hey. Eventually I found weird enough people... Who then turned to drugs. Eh f**k the States.

Good to hear, Steve. I imagine having a "gang" would be nice. I sort of have "gang" too. We're a group of 5-10 guys who meet up at a pub down town almost every time there's a Liverpool-game, but I haven't got the self-esteem to call any ot them up, not even the ones I know the best, and propose we do something other than watching a game together sometime. Wish I had the balls to do that.

^Or when you do it JUST to get fked up. I'm always saying to people when we get fked up "LET'S DO SOMETHING WITH OUR LIVES. CREATE. WRITE! BETTER OURSELVES! LEARN!! DO MATH! DO MUSIC!"
And they just wanna sit there and do nothing. People idolize rockstars and the lives they live but they dont realize those rockstars spend 30 hours a week working on their craft. Or people idolize Hunter S Thompson because of how fked up he got without reading a damn word he wrote and realizing that they didnt write 10 novels. Hunter wasn't cool because of the drugs, he was cool because of the amazing things he accomplished despite them.
Idiots. Haha
But i like the turn of phrase "unicorn's a****le"

Lool that reminds me of a painting I saw in the Tel Aviv museum (cool museum btw...)
It's a painting of a gallery, and there are soldiers standing around a statue, and that statue is of a man, bending all the way down, unnaturally bent that he can reach his own... buttocks, and then he proceeds to eat his own sh*t. Very socially conscious hmmmmmmm *elitist sigh*
