musings

i was thinking as i usually do. and i came to the conclusion that i have entered into the phase of life that i actually do have to plan and put effort into a social life. this is something new and different to me. I have never had to actually plan to have friends. or work at establishing friendships. i have always just been friends with people i am around and there have always been a million and one people around to eat with, get coffee with, go to the movie, you name it, and there was someone available and ready to get together.

now that there are 11million people here to get together with it really complicates things and i am having to plan around all their schedules. funny how that works huh. well really it is kinda like i only know about 50ish people and so i have to make effort to get out of this apartment and not hide behind the computer screen or excuses that its too cold to go out. it is far too easy in this big city to become isolated in an extreme way. all you have to do is go to work come home eat by yourself and go to bed. then do it again the next day. so i will not be doing that. out to dinner every night with friends please...:) ok maybe every other night.

i had three dinner engagements this week one out to eat and one at my house and one at another friends house. that is fun. so i will continue to make plans even when a little more complicated than previous life experience. i.e. eating in the dorm, or living in a house with 4 other girls and having neighbors always home. those were busy days with people all over the place all the time....not anymore. if you live in nyc and you are reading this, lets get together.
