Proximity friendships seem to have taken over the good old fashioned ‘real friends’ that people used to make on the playground and keep forever.

So here is a little refresher if you’re thinking of making some new friends… (rather than just making friends with that ‘nice girl’ at work who sits near you…)

Nally’s friend making rules.

1 Share some commonality (interests, sense of humour, outlook on life, fashion, taste, etc)

2 Enjoy spending time together

3 Actually seek out that person to tell them stuff (like “oooo, ooooo I have to remember to tell Siany that when I see #4 Randomly think of that person in random situations (Ahhh, #5 Seek approval for mutual adoration (do you want to be my friend?

6 Mark the friendship officially in some way (either through matching necklaces, gift giving or random phrases including “my friend Siany” to announce friendship to society).

Follow these rules and you will make REAL friends. THE END.

I’m making some decisions that are going to seriously determine how interesting I find myself and how interesting others find me. Check out my entries for my 43 things, if you’re interested. Ah, redundancy, how uninteresting. ;-p

Ive always wanted to be one of those people you meet and never forget. Id love to have a talent that makes people say wow, what an amazing person, I feel so uneventful in life, like Im a person who fades into the background, never having something to amuse others with.

Anyways I should probably try these things below to see if life could be a bit more interesting
