Not many. I used to think I had a lot, until they proved me wrong.

As of right night, I'd say the 10 other people I live with and have only known for about a month, and about 5 others that I know from last year. Back at home I have a pretty fair amount I would say.

I have a good friend that teaches bass at a music store, we are working on starting a band. Probobly gonna do some open mics in the near future to meet musicians.
I had a bunch of other friends but we dont really talk anymore. Drama.
Then of course theres all of you guys here. A week from today us bay area shroomerites are getting together for a BBQ and i already know everyone is going to be really cool.

I have a handful. The main one is a street-bum from Fort Collins, CO, one of those that knows every note on any instrument he's ever touched and I've seen him learn mandolin and banjo good enough to play with experienced musicians in a few hours time. I have him working for me, he's planning on hoping on a train to go back to rent some random dive in CO by the end of the month. Most of the others are to busy to spend any real time with, family, career and stuff get in the way.

I have that same problem, drama.
I attempt to still offer friendship and avoid the shit-storms as much as possible, usually it's futile.

I don't hang out a lot with people and I'd like to get out more. Being at home too much kinda makes me batty even though I get a lot of personal stuff done. But I'm pretty social these days. I'm trying to meet more like-minded people in this area, but they're all Shroomerites, haha.

i guess thats not intirely correct. I have a lot of people close to me that i consider friends, and good people. Its just that after losing the people in my life that were my best friends. (the 3 main ones in the course of a few months) It feels hallow. Like everybody else dosen't even compare to what i'm used to. Those people who i felt comfortable around in any situation. Who i could call and bullshit with any time, tell them anything that was on my mind, or stop by there house, and it wouldn't be (high pitched voice) "hey hows it going" slightly akward. It was just like walk in the door, and be at home.

Like, what do you mean by "drama?" I guess I hear that word a lot in regards to people and don't really understand the connotation.

Good point Adom it can be hard to spend quality time with friends I forget the importance of it sometimes until you get to spend time with a good friend and realize the importance of that person to you.
I have about 2-3 good local friends, I have one girl that is my hiking buddy we do about 2 - 5 mile hikes a week and our dogs play well together. My foreman for my contracting business is one of my best friends for years so we work together a lot and get together for BBQs, drinks, etc outside work. I have another friend who I grew up with that I usually do 'trips' of both kinds with like we go to festival concerts, fishing expeditions, offroading trips, snowmobiling Yellowstone that type of shit he has $$$ so do I so he can pay his own way better than most my friends.
Then I would say I surround myself with about 10 or so friends of friends or 'bar friends' people you know but really only talk to them when you see them out and about at functions and such.
I wish I did have a better group of local friends sometimes like a 'crew' similar to a high school mentality but I guess those days are the past too busy with work, existing friends, and rest the fuckin rat race.
Oh yeah and then girlfriends - that's another subject

You ever get lonely? Or are you pretty comfortable with yourself?

drama like your best friend of 6 years breaks up with her boyfriend, (who is also your close friend) and says that she will be very angry if you remaine friends with him. Than when she finds out that you hung out with him, ends the friendship, and tells everyone that you raped her.
Or letting a close friend of 5 years move in with you, ignoring the fact that he has a serious coke addiction, and than him stealing from you.
the worst kind of drama, is drama that is closest to you. Other peoples drama is fun to watch sometimes. But don't get to close

Like, sit down for a friendly game of cribbage at a party were alcohol is only openly excepted and the drugs are kept behind locked doors.
I personally can count cards pretty damn well, I have not much experience with people who also have this talent or care much about learning it. I am cleaning house, there's others watching our 3 man game because I'm razzle dazzling the table and we are hooting and hollering at the roll I am on. Player one of two decides to start screaming how insane I am and how I practice satanic stuff and witchcraft, he gets extremely jealous at my nearly 40 point victory. He begins spreading wild tails of my drug use around the gathering and gets an angry mob on his side.
...
Later in the evening I decide to tell the angry mob to 'fuck off' and I retire to my bedroom. 3 hours later I wake up in a pile of straw in a hay-loft of a spooky, pitch black barn, it's pitch black and I can't feel anything but alfalfa itching me.......
... I freak out momentarly and manage to wind down and get a good laugh, the next day I'm the only one laughing, the tails live on.
This is what I mean by drama.
