make more friends and keep in touch with old friends

One of my new strategies is to just say yes when someone asks me to do something or go somewhere together :-)
Not easy as I`m both shy and lazy, but it works!!
On a different level, both the opportunity to write Christmas cards and Facebook have helped me keep in touch with those who matter to me.

The best thing about this goal is how much fun it is along the way.

this goal has been even more important to me, and I`ve been doing a lot more with friends. Old friends, that is. Couple friends. Now what I really need to do is make friends who are single like me, who like to go out, meet new people etc. Hmmmmm.

I`m going to a ballet with a friend, I´m planning a visit with my sister and friends and I´ve written to another friend who I hope to see again in Feb (it´s been more than a year since we last met). Hope this all works out as planned!

Bowling alone makes me realize how important this goal is, both for me as an individual and for all of us in general. So I´ll make this goal a top priority for 2008.

I´m invited to a party this weekend, and I can already feel I´m coming up with excuses for not going there (like the fact that I have a head cold). But now that I stumbled across this goal again, I´m promising myself to just go there, and not let my social anxieties ruin a great experience!!

Last weekend I met with some of my mate´s co-workers which was really nice. And this weekend there was a dinner party at one of my co-commuters place – lots of fun too. Plus I met some old friends on Saturday. So I´m not only patting myself on the back but also make the promise to keep up the good work ;-)

to long lost friends and recieved a few answers. Now I have to reply!!

Still looking for a few friends… we’ll see how it goes.

I always celebrate my birthday with my closest friends + my sister.
This year, my sis was great, as always. But I was a little, just a tiny little bit irritated with my friends – then I was irritated with myself for being judgmental – now I have decided that while they are the most important people in my world, it´s very important for me to also make new friends who support me as I am today, not an image of me they have from a couple of years ago when we were all rooming together and knew each other really well.
Still, we had a great time on Saturday! K, M, O and O I love you :-)

3 friends and my sister there. We had soooo much fun! We went out to the park to sunbathe during the day and we hit the bars&clubs to party at night.
On Sunday after I´d returned we even went out in KA too and it was the first time I went to an open stage jam session (lots of fun and we met someone nice as well). It was so good to be able to have fun with friends and feel really good and relaxed about it.

Yesterday a former colleague sent me an invitation to her first art exhibition. Instead of just ignoring it (like I would have on a bad day) or word a polite excuse as to why I couldn´t attend (like I would have on a slightly better day) I asked a friend if she´d come with me and she will! So on Sunday I´ll get to meet them both :-)
