I've recently been invited to catch up with some old friends from primary school, I was intending to go originally but I'm busy on the night they've chosen. Last time I saw them it was a pretyy dul event though so I'm not terribly upset. It sounds pathetic but it seems odd to me to try and spend time with people whom I have absolutely nothing in common with, I mean I'm not saying all my friends are OMG GEEKERY in fact a few of them are really not (only have like 5 friends so 'a few of them' is proportionally a large amount!) but my old primary school friends just seem so typical for our age group (likes going out to clubs and getting drunk and so on) and thats the only information they ever seem to want to discuss about themselves (perhaps they do have other interests but I've never heard them), I mean most people don't share my interests but at least I have more than one hobby/interest/activity that governs my life. It's so strange to think that we were all friends in primary school, but if I met them today I'd not bother to create a friendship which extended beyond the occasional polite nod (and really only because I'm a polite person). It sounds awful but to be honest they all seem really mediocre, I don't know I guess, I like to have friends with a bit more personality or uniquness to them these days. having said that though most likely they're all writing LJ entries about that weird friend from primary school whom they just don't understand anymore haha it's odd how your perception of things change as you get older.
Having said that though it amazing that there are some friends with whom you will always instantly click with, I went to see my old subway sister the other day, for a coffee (which extended into like 5 hours of use sitting in the coffee club not ordering anything and chatting) I havn't seen her for about a year or more, and definitely havn't chatted to her one on one in like forever, but we instantly clicked off, and I got quickly caught up on everthing she's been up too and gave some advice/encouragements for her problems. I really liked being a big sister again for the first time in a while. I think it's because I never had an actual younger sibling that I always want to take care of people who are slightly younger than me its an odd instinct to have really, I guess that's why I find the concept of teaching appealing though I doubt I'll be able to have a big sister relationship with any of my students, a girl can dream right? haha.
I have my graduation (finally) in about 10 days time, it's a bit of a bummer because ken and jen can't come, they both have work/uni D: but ken recently got a new job near alan's place which will be cool because we can meet for lunch, so I can actually see him more often then once every few months.
and gah why does the one piece manga chapter come out so much later than naruto and bleach!
