a friend?
January 06, 2003 - 8:04 pm

i think i might actually have a friend. i'm not sure, but more and more i'm leaning towards i do. the hitch is that it almost strikes me as a friendship of convenience, that neither of us really knows many people, so we go things together...because there's no one else for us to do things with. this naturally leads to the building of a friendship, but the support seem a bit rickety to me...especially when i consider i'm planning on leaving here for mba school within six months (the jury is still out on wvu, but i'm trying to push them along).

on the other hand it seems as though it could be quite sturdy since we've known each other since high school and are spending so much time together and do talk about a vareity of things.

an odd bit of trivia, and that's all it is is trivia, is that she's female. we are not romantically intersted in each other or anything of the sort. i know that some of you will disregard that and automatically assume we are either sleeping together (shagging buddies as it were) or want to. i'm sorry to say that's just not the case. to be honest it annoys me that any m/f friendship is view with such sucpicion, but such is the way of the culture i'm stuck living in.

a point toward us actaully being a real friendship, is that she called tonight asking for advice no how to tell a guy who gave her a necklace for xmass that she can't accept it and just wants to be friends.

a point towards us being rickety is that there's no one else she could call. her next closest friend is her semi-boyfriend and the next after that is this poor fellows best friend, so that leaves me.

both of us are seriously contemplating going back to school for 'real' degrees and we arn't considering the same majors, schools or even geographical areas...so it would seem that regardless of this friendships potential (or lack of potential) it will soon die.

i watched waiting for godot last night. i'm kind of torn about the play. have you seen it? your thoughts?

oh, wait more importantly, why havn't you started to read "ishmael" yet??

open your mind and take a dabble in a book that actually has a point and yet isn't stuffy to read.
