03/04/01 08:53 PM: You know what sucks? When
You know what sucks? When friendships just sort of slip away. I have (had?) some friends that I just don’t talk to at all anymore. Why? I really don’t know. I try talking to them, but nothing ever seems to come of it. I guess I’ve sort of given up. A deplorable thought, to be sure, but I don’t know what else to do. It’s hard to be someone’s friend without them being yours. And then there are some friends that I still talk to, sort of. It’s like this: we say things to each other, but we don’t really talk. We exchange greetings at the lunch table and make passing comments while talking to other people, but conversations are a thing of the past. The latter scenario is even worse than the former. In the former, it is obvious that something is very wrong. But in the latter, we are still pretending that everything is okay, that nothing has changed. Lying to others is not a good thing, but lying to oneself is especially low.
On a completely unrelated note, I read Flatland yesterday/today. Though it’s only eighty pages or so in length
