I am making great progress on this goal, I have earned tons of respect from almost everyone at My college thus far. A little bit more to go and I will have completed this goal. I had a feeling this would happen, everyone at my college is soooo nice.

developing the relationships that developed over the past year with two colleagues who have slowly become friends. Our friendship keeps growing, and i really appreciate them so much for who they are.

This is another long term goal for me. I have also started this goal back in 2003 when I left my hometown. Before I started college, I did not have any headway with making new friends. However, in college I have been able to make friends with some of the classmates and the professors as well. I will definately be working on this one for a long time.

went to a workshop sponsored by the group, met some new people. Allowing myself to open up more to the friends I have made at work. I am getting closer to a few of them, and it’s pretty cool.

Not “friends,” per se, but fun people to hang out with. A few people at work I am friendly with and who chat with me often are becoming closer friends.

I guess what I mean is I would like to have more buddies in my life (some buddies do become “real” friends)—people that might be a bit closer than acquaintances. I have never had a lot of “true” friends; I believe trues friends are few and far between.
I know lots of people, I have had lots of acquaintances, but only a few dear “true” friends in my life. I definitely have room more more during the course of my life, but I know they do not come in droves. True, real friends are special.
As for having more bussies though, it would be nice at this point in my life to have acquaintance type friends or friends I can have fun with, even talk with about a lot of things, even if they are not that close. I still have two very close life-long friends and although we are physically far apart, they are my special friends who really know me, so I am happy for that.
But now, I am at a point in my life where, for various reasons, I really need new buddies. My recently made (in the past 6 years) buddies and I are all in very different places: some are going down paths I don’t want to even be near, and that make me sad; others have families and do family things all the time, and well, I don’t; and I recently found out that someone whom I considered a new yet close/good friend of mine was actually not at all.
I have started by hanging out a bit more with work “friends” here and there. It’s difficult for me: it feels like “dating,” and I’m not a “dater.” I’ve always tended to meet people and things happen, whether its a romantic or platonic relationship. Actually going out and doing things with the hope of meeting new people is foreign to me, so it’s hard.

I met a neighbour who I have lived next door to for 10 years. And guess what – I met her online! Anyway we are great friends now. You can read her blog at Locks Park Farm
Who’d have thought it?
Also – I’m now friends with Jude – she is brilliant fun, scathingly witty and very bright.
I think this will do for now.

New Friends?
11 months ago
I really want some new friends. All my old ones seem to have completley changed and we’ve drifted away…they’re never really there for me anymore, and we aren’t into the same stuff any more…so I think it’s time for some new friends.
