I've just spontaneously realised that all of my friends are conservative friends stuck in the cycle of wishing they were still in high-school. All we talk about are things from high school past, and about who's dating who - among our high school group. It really is quite boring. We talk the exact same conversations and do the exact same things. I think, without intending to sound anti-social, that it's time to move on to friends who are actually adults by nature, and not just adults by age and the ability to drive.
For crying out loud! Yesterday, I went to a party put on in honour of Ricki, who just returned from teaching English in the Bahamas. That's all fine and good, except that the party was held in the basement of someone's house in a single room where we subconciously played matchmaker and musical chairs but did really nothing for 6 bloody hours! Of the people there, except myself and Mike, every single one of them live with their parents! And although Mike is Officially living on his own -- he's been on his own for a mere 5 months at best, and two weeks from now he's moving back in with his parents anyway. To top it off, he relies so completely on them anyway, even living two miles away, that he was more-or-less just sleeping at his apartment.
Yes, I've decided that my friends are idlers. They do only that in their life of which they are guided into, and nothing on their own will. They have no spontenuity, and no professional characteristics (with a few minor exceptions). I appreciate the fact that it's 'cheaper' to live at home, but having a curfew at age 20 is simply not right.
In conclusion, I think I will start making a concerted effort to diversify my 'friends' in such a fashion as to make contact with people who are individuals and not simply "Plus-One" types.
