Jake’s Life

Now, I’m not sure if this is the case or not. It could be a myriad of different things. If it’s one thing that work and my college coursework has taught me, anything could be true.

For the last few years I have kept a small amount of friends. I’ve always been that way really…I have a few friends that I tend to devote time to and build strong relationships with them. Some of them keep a much larger circle of friends, and it shows in a few different ways that I see right off the bat. First, it’s easy for them to get socially disorganized and forget you exist, which means no phone calls, no plans, etc. Secondly, I tend to remember a lot about them, but they remember only just enough, or what they remember gets lost in the shuffle with what they remember about other friends. It gets annoying, but makes you feel pretty great when they all of a sudden out of nowhere say something that you told them years ago. Wow.

I’m saying this because I have a few friends who I rarely see. We’re both busy with work, I had school on top of that, and anytime plans were offered is either sushi (which is a big yes) or going out (which is a big no for me). I’m wondering if this is all part of the part-time friend syndrome or just because I’m so busy and hate clubs.
