re: the subject of old friends turned acquaintances
i'm not entirely sure how to express this in words, so i'm just gonna let it all out in a spiel of uninhibited ranting. i apologize ahead of time.
where do they get off? aloof when friends are around, touting themselves as more cool/enlightened/cultured than the rest of us while keeping a ways distance from us. "we've graced us with our presence, so now bask in our thrift shop/kitsch/art school lifestyle. for now, you are welcome to stay. see how we are hospitable? now that you're here however, we will remain aloof only speaking to impress you with our 'dry wit' or to put you in your place about whatever it is we feel is your most visible weakness. you are now socially acceptable simply through association. see how generous we are? we are givers after all, aren't we honey?"
condescend us! that's what friends are for right? if that makes you feel better, then that's our duty isn't it? at least you've given up the preaching... but that's only cause you're gone. oops. sometimes i rejoice the fact that you've been able to concentrate on converting others rather than those closest to you... those who you're supposed to accept unconditionally... but i'm afraid that NYC will only make matters worse for you, and you will come back forever changed for the worse. more superficial and pretentious under the guise of righteousness more than you would probably care to believe.
how subversive your lifestyle. how against the status quo. you grow fat with your ego masturbation. does the end really justify the means? 3 words: go fuck yourself.
