Other crap that's on my mind.

A website about things you probably don't care about, but I do so shove it.

If our siblings were here they would be our friends.

Sometimes I feel like I do a lot of work to maintain friendships. It can get exhausting. Last month I decided I'm not going to plan nearly as much, just for this very reason. I was sick of being the one to always ask to hang out and never getting much in return.

Dominic and I seem to have this conversation every now and then:

"We're cool, right?"

"Oh yeah, we're like the coolest, funniest people I know."

"So how come no one calls us to hang out on a Friday night anymore? Did we get old? Are our friends lame? What happened?"

"I have no idea, but let's go back to talking about how cool we are."

When I talked to my sister today, she complained of the same thing. When I talk to Dominic's sister about this, she too says she has no friends either. What the fuck? Both of these people are like the best people I know. And if we all lived in the same city I'm pretty sure they would be the ones to actually call me on any given night just to see what I was doing. Heck, they might forget to call and just knock on our door. Because that would be something they could totally do, not just because they're family - but because they're our friends.

And I miss my friends.

I have that same conversation with my sister, except ours goes

her: you're like the coolest, smartest most talented person i know.

me:do you need money?

her: yea, but i'm serious

me: then why don't i have friends?

her: because you're old, and so is everyone else you know. plus, you really need to lose the kid, it's a party killer.

I totally invited you guys to our bbq last friday night. You just need to be spontaneous and come! (It's really best if I don't plan these things too far in advance.)
