Perpetual High School/Crushes/Gratitude

There’s a song by Bowling for Soup called High School Never Ends. I wonder if it was just as true before the advent of Facebook and Myspace. I was browsing through some of my friends’ profiles when I realized how much my Friends’ list pales by comparison to that of everyone else. Mine is a meager 87 compared to a high of 802. I guess my social

I don't know about you, but the large majority of my "friends" on facebook are peopLe I onLy have a casuaL acquaintance with. We chat on occasion, but it's nothing more than that. I doubt your friend with 802 buddies keeps an active relationship with all of them. So does the number reallY count?

That's understandable. I don't like to add people unless I know them well enough that'd I'll idly chat with them for a few minutes should we bump into each other. When people add me, I won't accept unless we've actually met. Even amont my 87, there are a few people who are there solely b/c we've met only once.

I only have something like 55 Facebook friends, so I think you're doing alright. You should go out and do things. Maybe if you have some friends in your salsa class, you guys could go out for dinner or catch a movie or something.
Sorry to hear about the thing that happened to you at work. That's just really weird.

Right now, I'm kind of on hiatus with the lessons. My roommate and I are going to pay out of pocket for the flood damage, and we still haven't found out how much that's going to cost. I just want to save as much as I can via any little way I can before the bill shows up.

Also, the customer probably called corporate head quarters and went through the directory until he found somone who was there. I don't entirely understand how that'd work, but that was the explanation that was given to me. I don't think I was set up (although I wonder if I have "a friend" watching me from somewhere).
