Visit my friends more often

I need to do something!

need to visit my friends more often. It was so much easier when we all lived in the same town now we’re spread out through the western united states. Hell I don’t even visit my friends that live an hour away. I am a horrible friend. So I will visit Lauren in WA before she has the baby in January and Josh in TX before the end of this year. I will also try to see my friends that live in state at least quarterly.

It’s just like last weekend Shad invited me up to his keger and I was like no I don’t want to drive that far my sloth is more important than our friendship. Oh, I’m a bad bad friend.

i don’t even like my friends.

this isn’t going to happen.

My friends are the most important thing in my life, and I’m afraid that at times I might take them for granted. They are no less than family to me.

Went up to Bristol this past weekend. Stayed with my friend Stephen and also hung out with Ryan H, Arlena, and Phillip. Then I went to the Marriot for a special projector screening of Advent Children. Saw Chris, Tommy, and Jamie. It was a good weekend, hope it was worth the bad score I’m gonna get on this math test I just took. Oh well.

This ties in with get a better paying paying job, because visiting my friends costs alot of money, and time because they are spread all across the US, and some around the world. In general my vacations usually revolve around this goal, so I never take a real “get away from it all” vacation. I would like to do that to at least one time per year. Maybe I could get my friends together to do that , kind of like afamily reunion.

1. M.P. in FL to see her new baby and visit A.C. at the same time. keep looking for a cheap ticket/ 4-5 day/ rent a car

2. E.R. in ID – see the house-snowboard-just hang out

3. Everybody in Portland – and pick up my old things

4. M.C. in NC – just hang out for a good week (maybe get her to visit me)

5. M.C. in CA – rent a car/4-5 days – maybe bring another friend with

I’m doing better at this than for the last three or four years, but there are STILL people I just haven’t got around to seeing yet this year, particularly in the U.K.
