Long Time, No Hear

Well how about a break in the norm around here. I just got off the phone with a long time (6 years?) friend. after hearing about the happenings in her life and realising how mine is lacking, for some reason I just had to come here and blog. (if you can call this blogging)

Talking to her made me realize that when I moved down here to make money (8/hour WOO HOO!!!!!), I gave alot up. I didnt realize it at the time but I did. for the most part I gave up friends. We were a small group that didnt do much but we had some one to talk to, hang out with, etc. Now they hang out and I live 2 hours away, dont make enough for gas money, and sit at home watching tv, sitting in frount of my computer just waiting for something to happen.

I have never been a doer. I'm the type who will take things in stride usually. (Work lately has proven this) I dont make things happen. I let them happen. And that my friends is my biggest down fall. That is why after a year and a half in "the big city" the only friends I have made are at work and I usually dont talk to them outside of work. I think that maybe I grew acustom to my old life before I moved here and that made me lazy. Now my lazyness is stopping me from making friends. P3 brings up a good point. Where do you meet people? Do you join clubs? AA/NA? Bars? Neibors? Health Club? or areyou pretty much stuck with peopleyou work with and went to school with? Maybe use them to branch out to other people. If that is so then for the most part by moving away from the town I grew up in, and went to k-12 and comm. college in I screwed my self. nothing but lonelyness for me.

See for me I never really liked to betalking in a group, socialize, I just liked to be there and be a part of something. sure I could go to the bars or clubs and sit back a people watch, but its not the same. Its actually hard for me to explain. I'll save it for later.

Thanks for your time.
