Friend dates

Last night I went on a straight up girl date. My best friend has made friends with a girl in Chicago- who's best friend lives in New York as well. The glory of modern social networking is that instead of having to track down this girls phone number- I just sent her a message on facebook and instantly she could see what friends we had in common and do a little preparing before deciding if she wanted to respond. Thankfully, I passed the facebook stalking round and her and I went out to dinner. Friend dating is a new thing I have started, just to expand my social network in this massive city and obviously to make more friends. With the ability to facebook stalk, finding friends might seem easier, but its actually the opposite, but this girl could have pre judged me before even meeting me, just by seeing my friends on facebook. Its a vicious cycle.

Our friend date went well and ended up chatting about friends we had in common and college. The night went well and we have decided to be friends. Sounds very pre-school, like when I became friends with someone because they would let me eat the crust of their sandwich.

After this little date last night, I started thinking. No matter what city I am in, I am going to have to go on these friend dates. Every city is a new pool of people- but the one thing this city does not have that home does- my family. Everyone out of college has to start over, make new- morph into new people and form to their surroundings. But one fact keeps sticking out in my mind when I think about morphing- I am a peach. I will be back there, the question is when. And when I do, Ill have to go on friend dates all over again. Its all a huge adventure.

My life is an adventure. If I could get paid to have adventures, I would and Id have an awesome TV show. Sometimes I cannot even explain why I do things that I do.... But I hope yall enjoy it. Whoever you all are...

Lesson Learned:

Friend Dates: just do them.

Peace, Love and what am I going to do with myself,
