wolven7System of a Down - [Chop Suey]--- i know what to write about, damnit. Friends. i've written something, along these lines, before, but not about what i want to talk about now. There are subtle differences that may or may not be noticed. But fuck it. it's my live journal.
About friends: Throughout my life, i've had certain friends. Best friends, good friends, people i only saw at school, &c. You know the drill. Anyway, of these friends, from elementary school, onward, only the most recent have any measure of contact with me. Now, this is also partially my fault. (Jack Off Jill - [Surgery]) i have not made every effort in the world to keep in touch with these people, but i have made SOME.
When one calls someone after some years, to renew friendships, you will, perhaps, meet for a cup of coffee, hang out, say hey, let it build up, yes? i'll discuss my roblems with THAT, later. But for now, say that this is the "accepted social order." In this case, one does NOT, affter hearing from an old friend, proceed to blow them off and NOT return their phone calls. If you DO make plans, KEEP THEM! DAMNIT!
Jack Off Jill - [Losing His Touch]--- Now, ABOUT this whole A.S.O.: WHY?! Why does it have to be this "Level of comfort" bullshit? Why can't people, upon seeing an old friend, that used to be REALLY close, not simply pick up where they left off? Tell them what they've missed, and get brought up to speed. Shit.
Hoobastank - [Crawling In The Dark]--- Perhaps it is simply the way *i* view the world. i am a very open person, with the people i claim to care for. And unless i say otherwise, that still goes, even if i haven't SEEN you in 10 years. i understand and appreciate that not everyone is like this, but it still hurts the hell out of me.
Another point: Friends i'm Trying to Make. How the hell am i (Nyte - [Clouded Horizon]) supposed to get to know ANYONE if they won't hang out? What the hell is that? Again, mitigating circumstances of business or, rather, Busy-Ness (so that you understand my useage of the actual word). Any way.. i want to hang out with people i find cool. if they do not want this, they should bloody well say so, and i'll let it alone.
Slipknot - [Wait and Bleed]--- Shit, they could, at the VERY least, say something along the lines of, "I'm not comfortabale with that, just yet. Hows about we hang out around school, more, and THEN we all go hang out? Sound good?" i could fucking deal with that.... And the same goes for friends of mine online! Distance as a mitigating circumstance, there, though....
Fuck.
People seriously piss me off sometymes....

Don't get too pissed

Mending Brokeness
There are, however, the friends that I try to keep in contact with and it's virtually impossible because of time on both our parts and what not. I don't have any friends that I still see from growing up. I have few friends from high school that I still see, one being my best friend.
I see it as this. When we grow up and grow old, friends unfortunately grow out of us as they grow out of clothes. The same goes for us towards them. Distances happen and unfortunately someone might get hurt from it.
This is in fact a coincidence because I talked to a friend yesterday that I haven't seen in over a year and he said "Let's get together sometime, I really want to see you." This probably will never happen. Although I do miss him, I'm sure he misses me, but the way the world works I'm sure that we'll never have that cup of coffee.
Sorry so long.
