Honestly, what can I say? This is just going to be long and ranty. So, if you get bored a sentence down...stop reading. Not that any of you will read it anyways. But I'll get to that

I purge people every once in a while on facebook. Most of the people I keep because I like them. There are a couple I keep because I know it would cause mucho drama if I deleted them.
The only comments I get are from my husband or mother normally. I'm the one who does the commenting.
I havn't been to a conference since... The one at RPI before this one. I dropped APO completely. I get mass e-mails from the current brothers to come to events. I don't want to interact with them. I got tired of keeping up the facade that I put on when I went to conferences. Also... it costs $$ that I don't have.
So... I understand. There are people I call "friends" and there are those I know who care about me. The numbers are greatly different. And yes it upsets me and makes me sad that people who I thought of as friends don't really care... but then it leads me to not caring. I just keep doing what I am doing and if they want to respond, fine. If not, *shrug*
I'm not a touchy feely call you daily or even weekly kind of person. I hate phone time. But if you lived in this area, I'd try to invite you over.
Life changes after college. A lot. People change, get more secure in who they really are, meet a partner, add a child, get a job, even buy a house. Life gets a LOT busier.
I have 521 Facebook friends. I'm not actually friends with all of them, most of them are aquaintences. Some are family. A lot are APO. I've recently purged a bunch too. It felt good.
What I'm trying to say is, friendships evolve over time, especially post-grad. I hope you can find the quality of friends you're looking for.
And btw, I remember a Twitter conversation we had about Sectionals that you didn't mention. I cared. I thought Sectionals would feel weird without you there. It did a little. But not everyone can make it to every sectionals. I finally get a Harry fucking Potter sectionals (Fall 2011) and I can't go!
