(no subject)
bah, I feel like calling up an old long-distance friend and gabbing about inconsequential things for hours.. Though it seems throughout the years of summer camp, missions trips, and exchange programs, I've had to realize that long distance ties eventually fade away. Sure, they're still great people, but there's no way to really know what their life over there is like.. and no way for them to be directly involved in yours. So after a while, what's the point in asking more than "how's it going?" and after a while, what does it really matter or do to say "how's it going?" .. not much. But I guess, with more travelling, there's no shortage of long-distance friends lol... but it's an interesting pattern.. I bet social psychology has some sort of slapstick explanation for it.. maybe I'll write my theses on it and I bet, with something so simplistic, someone who never thought about it is bound to say "She's a genius! She just gave a label to something I've felt all my life." Then I'll get to make up really cool new vocabulary words for it such as "Distance-Comradship Dissonance" and "Associative Travel Disorder" .. ooh I just can't wait.
