Yes, I once talked with a friend about by parent's argument problem and how it was affecting me and my siblings. Its good to have a close friend you can just blurt out personal stuff too and know it's safe.

Well, in that case, it's an external force [parents arguing], but thanks for the input ^^

Yeah, been there, done that. I think that it's part of the definition of a good friend, that you *can* open up a topic like that, or have them do the same to you.

One of the more difficult ones from a few years back:

"um, todd? i have a friend visiting this weekend." "oh? who?" "my boyfriend."

He took it quite well, and we're still friends.

Pre-college, weren't we (trying) to talk about really philosophical points constantly? Almost as a point of contest?

I can see where you're possibly going though: the triggers for the cessation of small-talk during the advanced society-forming period in high school?

What I specifically was looking for was whether it was normal for anyone not normally philosophically inclined to think about the future to such a degree. I mean, certainly as a society we're conditioned to think about "go to school, get married, have kids" but it seemed more normal to ignore those things and focus more often on living life in the present.

Whatever the case, it is prolly not abnormal to write the scene I was thinking of writing.
