I often feel sort of down that my "friendships" never seem to work out. I meet people, we hang out for awhile, with the exception of my husband, I can't think of a single friend I have had for more then a year, and that includes the people who I consider friends, but really they are just people I know.

Anyway, I am surfing through Facebook, looking up a graduating class that was mine or near mine (although I only attended the school for about 18 months. And I find someone who I considered "in my social circle" from that time, although we where not "friends".

So, I am looking at their "friends" at facebook, to see if I know any of them, and I come across this discription of how the person I knew, met this "friend" that of course, I don't know: 8O

They hooked up in 2003 and it was a f*****g nightmare!
They met randomly: I found her in a back alley of a bar. She was puking her face off, so I pulled back her hair, pulled up her skirt, and the rest is a blur... But I think she had a good time! I make a romace explosion on her anus.


Reading this, I am reconsidering all that I missed... Rather glad to say that I no longer "know" these people! :lol:

The thing with facebook, I know alot of my friends add wierd stuff to where we met. An example being, I am listed as having been in a relationship with one of my friends since he was born. Neither of us is gay (but we do sometimes talk rather dirtily with tonnes of implied meaning), and I have only known him for 6 years, not the 18 listed :)

Other people I know put rather scary graphic things up on FB as well - I don't understand why, but I think its is a statement that you are comfortable with your sexuality, so you joke about in ther ecase homosexual relationships.

Is that not rape that your previous 'friend' has said he's done - would anyone who had done that actually write it up in a public area?

Who knows why psycho's or NT's do anything... Knowing him from before, it would not surprise me. Still, it was rather revolting, and considering he is now around 30, (in one shot holding onto a baby proudly with a cigarette buring in an ashtray and tattoos up both arms) and still writting anything like that, true or untrue, makes me kind of glad our paths diverged over a decade ago!

Human relationships werent really meant to last. People are constantly changing and evolving and often have little control over what they become.

Two people who get along fine can and often do change into people who cant stand each other a year or two later.

Who cares about "friends" like that? What can they offer intellectually? You might as well befriend a turnip.

I guess it could happen :lol:

After all, Tom Hanks befriended a beachball, and then there were those "pet rocks." Better a turnip than a chocolate chip cookie. At least then I wouldn't have to worry about devouring them in a moment of weakness.

QFT!! !! :lol:

I had one friend once that I helped get a security clearance!! !! !! I was one of the people interviewed. When I asked HIM for a reference, he said NO! He was the ONLY one to EVER say that to me! WHY???? Because he hadn't seen me in about 18 years, and he thought I could have changed, etc.... I guess he was afraid I was like the jerks EC referred to. 8-(

I didn't like his reluctance, but I understood and respected his reason.

I have found that my cats are much more loyal friends than most people. I had one cat for 20 years. I am not likely to find a person compatible enough to live with for that long. If and when I do ever get married (not likely), I want it to be for keeps. My greatest friendships have been made through my Siamese cat club on the Internet.

Trust me, I am rather glad that I was not around to see him devolve into this creature that he is today. Yuck!
