As much as I love Cali -- I do miss the East Coast. All of my bestest friends in the entire world are 3,000 miles away. It's gotten so much harder as I get older to make good friends. Being in school made it easy -- I was surrounded by tons of my peers.
I miss just hanging out! I miss being able to just go over a friend's house and doing absolutely nothing and being able to enjoy that and feeling totally comfortable. Now I feel like I have to make "plans" -- let's get together for lunch, drinks, tea, etc. I miss the days of hanging out with P and R -- eating snacks, listening to Depeche Mode and thinking we were bad asses.
People are starting to get married, getting very busy with work, family... blah blah blah. Where are the chilling days when we had oodles of time to hang with our friends?
I know I'm to blame too. I don't make the time to really know people and make room for them in my life. I don't put forth as much effort as I should (tsk tsk -- I'm giving myself a stern look). Maybe it's nostalgia, but I swear, once upon a time, there really was no effort when it came to making friends.
Once upon a time I would get in the car and drive spontaneously to Montreal, drive to NYC in the middle of the night, fly across the country for a weekend trip, throw martini parties.... I used to have this amazing social life.
OH GOD -- I'm becoming pedestrian.

My friend Smurf is pregnant. She's 32 years old and 11 weeks along. I met up with her and other festival folk for a weekend project. ... -
I'm kinda scared of brownies. Okay, scared is a strong word. Plus I'm married to a South Asian, does that give me street cred ? ... -
I find you to be a f*cking cunt. I hope there is a special place in hell for a b*tch like you. You never deserved to have children. Here ...
