Birthdays and a horses ass

Added: November 23, 2003, 8:42 pm  (70 views)
Anyone else not very good at remembering birthdays? I just called an old friend and had no clue it was his birthday today. So I hear people in the background, and ask if he's havin' a party. He mentions that people are over for his birthday. WOW DON'T I FEEL LIKE A HORSES ASS

Usually, I just think I'm young enough that people aren't gonna care, but wow do I feel like a horses ass now.

While I'm on this sort of topic, I have a few others things to disclose.

1) Getting older, moving out, and being out on your own, you are supposed to be getting gifts and sending cards and crap like that on your own. You know, before I'd just add my name to the card my folk's got, but that doesn't work so swell anymore. Especially now that my friends are getting married and having kids and bla bla bla.

2) As you move away from people, you grow further apart as friends, at least I've seemed to. Some people say that long-distance relationships sort of bring people closer to each other, and maybe that's true. In my experience, however, and this is only with friends (not a significant other), it becomes harder and harder as time goes by to call old friends and visit. You have little to talk about, as you're not directly involved in their lives. So, if you start talking about something that happened at work the other day, the other person really doesn't know what you're talking about. So, you talk about the good old times, general stuff that's new in your life (i.e. new apartment, new TV, new great place to eat, new movies, etc., etc.), but the conversation doesn't go on for too long until there is that awkward silence. So, of course, it sucks that you aren't able to spend more time with them, but even people around you tend to grow and meet new people, and pretty soon they have other friends that you can either meet and hope to like, or don't spend as much time with them. Basically, the way I see it, you're about screwed either way. When you want to hang out like you did before, just you and the old gang, it's just not possible.

What's worse is when members of the "old gang" have come and gone through relationships with each other, so only certain people will now hang out with certain other people. Wow this sucks, so even if it's possible to get the "old gang" together, many times not everyone from the "old gang" wants to get together with everyone else.

*sigh*

The pains of growing up are not just physical, my friends. This, of course, is excluding all of the better changes. Maybe you meet a girl, and start spending a great deal of time with her. Hopefully, you also make new friends, with whom you can bond as you did in the past with the "good old gang." And now, I have gone in a complete circle, and am still not content. Perhaps fantasizing about the Lord of the Rings Trilogy Marathon in Madison on December 16th will make the "bad thoughts" go away. HAHAHAH "BAD THOUGHTS" - isn't that the funny thing BigA mentioned in one of his comments on someone else's diary?
