Friends.

Blerg what to write about? OK well because of my schedule in which I only have school Monday and Tuesday, today is my start to the what many would call the weekend. Today was productive, I worked on a single project all day... but I kinda really don't like it at the moment its not exactly the most attractive. It also doesn't totally convey what I want it to say. But I'll continue to play with it. Which reminds me so far I am really enjoying school, well the projects at least. The classes are at times boring, but its crazy to say but I love my homework. Like the assignment I was just mentioning we need to pick a phrase and show it with 9 photographs on a single sheet of paper. I decided on 525,600 minuets, and after talking to my teacher about it I'm now faced with the challenge of showing a year in 9 pictures. Its so much fun! And my other class I need to make an awareness campaign about a certain design flaw related to transportation. I decided on the fact that the TTC isn't that accessible. Most subway stops I learned don't have elevators. And yeah super excited about that too! Though I don't totally know what I'll do yet.

OK for friends now.

I'm extremely shy, and even though I'm aware of it, its really hard to get over. So the initial introduction for me is really hard to make, but once I do start talking to someone and we get a sort of understanding of each other I usually call them my friend. I dunno, acquaintance sounds pretty stupid. Now that I think about it I don't really refer to people as best friends or acquaintances just friends and people I know. That being said as cheesey as it is in my heart I do divide the friends from the best friends. And there are people I tell more too then others when times are rough. Friendship is really important to me and I see it as a two way street, you give me the love, attention. and understanding then I will do the same. Its really easy for me to loose contact or have friends slip out of my lives, I blame the fact that I moved a lot when I was younger. Which is also why I call people friends really easily, because I don't like the idea of being somewhere all alone. Like you Lee I love having numerous friends, groups that get certain things and groups that don't. Just as an example I have two groups of what I call camp friends, those I was close with when I went to camp and those I was close with while working there. They don't combine well, but I love them both equally. Rae I kinda agree with you in saying that people shouldn't really call their parents their friends, but I hope that my future husband is my friend. I mean I should be able to trust him as a friend and stuff, though I get where you're coming from. People shouldn't forget their friends once they get a relationship, because really your friends will be there if it doesn't work out. OK I think I've covered all I want to say about friendship.

OK that's it.
