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 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.  :wink:

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.

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 :smile:

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.

well you can't bitch about letting a cokehead in your house - that's just common sense not to do that.

the girl did tell you what not to do even though it maybe irrational. i would have told her from the start "NO, I'm going to remain friends with him and if you don't want to be MY friend because of it so be it." you should have told her from the start she was being unfair and that your friendship with him is a separate entity than your friendship with her. I assume she was probably angry enough to accuse you of rape because she thought you took the stance with her of total avoiding him and then when she found out you hung out with him you had betrayed her. And women, if you did not know, do not like betrayal.

I am with you though - fuck the drama! Especially with female friends.

The Old Woman and the Snake [Re: rawtoxic]
    #7512051 - 10/13/07 01:28 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

An old woman was walking down the road when she saw a gang of thugs beating a poisonous snake. She rescued the snake and carried it back to her home, where she nursed it back to health. THey became friends and lived together for many months. One day they were going into town, and the old woman picked him and the snake bit her. Repeatedly. " O God," she screamed, "I am dying! Why? I was your friend. I saved your life! I trusted you! Why did you bite me?"


The snake looked up at her and said, "Lady, you knew I was a snake when you first picked me up."

that wasn't the whole story, just an excert.

Yea, it was partially my fault for letting him stay with me, but he's a mate, so what are you gonna do?

I did tell her all that from the get go, i didn't realize how serious she was.


I can bitch as much as i want. That is what the shroomery does for me.
thanks for analyzing my life, and helping me decide what decisions i should have made.
I'll link you to the next thread where i tell a story, and you can break that one down for me too.

None. I'm doing fine with my schoolwork and drinking alone watching the Science Channel on weekends. I have a girlfriend, but even before then I didn't care much for friends. No friends is a stress-free lifestyle. Girlfriend is a different story.

Well, I have my myself, my girlfriend, you, Emma, and Kevin. If you count parents, (I don't know why we couldn't...) I'll add my dad, my mom, and my step-father to that list. My sister is ALMOST my friend. Thanks to her moving halfway across the globe, we get along pretty well now.

However, some of my best friends live miles and miles away. One is in California... another in Texas. Another's in Washington. (Jerry) Another is just down south of boston, but we don't get to see eachother much at all. (Jon from FB)

I don't honestly see the benefit of having a bunch of friends nearby. Every time I've had a group of local friends, it's been through almost what I would call desperation. Friends out of necessity. It breeds dependency and sometimes can hurt the friendship through deep-seeded resentment.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. There are very few people who I can see often and not have them start to grate on me. Maybe it's me. :shrug:

I'm very variable when it comes to friendships.  Sometimes I'm quite needy for social interaction and then sometimes I'd just rather be alone.  I guess that's why I like message boards so much because the two coincide together pretty well.  I like to make connections with people and to explore those connections at full throttle, holding nothing back.  But then what happens usually is that I get scared that I turn people off with this behavior that feels so natural to who I am and so I withdrawl again.  It's a cycle.  Sometimes I go through periods where I feel like I have absolutely no friends, but it's usually just because I've become short-sighted and too lost in what ISN'T happening, rather then focusing and enjoying what IS.  (still learning how to do that...) 

Like today I've already been through this cycle once.  Earlier today I was feeling pretty isolated and friendless, but the problem wasn't a lack of friends, it was not appreciating my friendship with the present moment (i.e. me), the one friend that is always here.  And then once I finally find joy and acceptance in my heart for that, I suddenly feel full of friends again. 

Weird, huh?

That goes with anybody. Almost everybody is better in smaller doses.
For example every time i have lived with a friend, it has ended the friendship from overexposure. 
However to much distance, and its not really a friendship anymore. There are people that used to be my best friends, and we did not see eachother often for a couple of years. For no other reason than the time apart, that closeness is gone. We still hang out. We still remenice about the past, but we don't have anything close to the friendship we once had.
I feel shitty about it to this day. That i lost that bond due to nothing but neglect. i mean the dudes live a town over!

I'm very variable when it comes to friendships. Sometimes I'm quite needy for social interaction and then sometimes I'd just rather be alone. I guess that's why I like message boards so much because the two coincide together pretty well. I like to make connections with people and to explore those connections at full throttle, holding nothing back.




I feel a lot like this too, sometimes I feel like going in town and having a party and sometimes I'll decline invitation from friends for the simple reason that I want to be alone listening to music and reading.

I have a complicated relation with people around me. I can divide them in 4 groups :

1 - The "No-Drug" group : They are my friends from High school, before I went and experiment with drugs. They aren't interested in it at all but they like to hear my stories. They are open-minded but one in particular don't even want to hear the word drug of the name of one. There are 6 of them and they only like beer.

2 - The "Druggie" group : They are the one I am with when there's drugs. One is a major lazy pothead, another one is a hard-working pothead and ex-pill user, the third one is a guy that goes thought everything with us but has never taken drugs (except pot 2 times). The fouth one is kind of a friendly dealer, he's the one that can hook you with weed if you are looking for some and finally the last two are number 2's colocataire (french word, they live in the same appartment and pay 50-50 for it)and a guy he hangs with, those two are in pot but pretty much into beer. I am the one with the fascination for psychedelics. They are six and they are the one to trip with, they know what to do and what not to do.

3 - The "we're experimenting" group : They ain't into drugs really nor are they close friend, they're just people I hang with sometimes, they are kinda absurd and childish but it's so fun playing Super Smash Bros Melee or Soul Calibur with them. They smoke weed and do mushrooms on really special occasion, it ain't their thing but they experiment with it. They were part of my big high school crew but on college they took another direction than the no-drug group. They are people I enjoy trippin' with even if sometimes they show how they do not understand a drug induced mind, I mean, they would joke at people and say really bad thing to some people while trippin, they are kinda caught in the high school discrimation spirit. I constantly have to remind them a mind on psychedelics is to take care of, not joke at it. There are 12 of them.

4 - The far away group : Those are the people that got really far from me since I've known them (mostly in High School). I still talk to some of them but it's always only a quick meet, exchange of salutation and we ask ourself about what we've done since we last saw, nothing to write a paragraph about.

That's it, now I re-read this and I realize my friend's circle is complicated lol.

Shrooms are something any lost human being should try. Why think sober when you can trip and explore your mind out of the consciousness stress.

I have about 6 people I could call up casually anytime

Maybe 20 more that I am friends with, but not good enough to hang out by ourselves

Fifty or sixty acquaintances

And five or six good friends from school that I only hang out with once a year or so

It's pretty good but I'd like to add more :cool:

I rarely consider the people I can call on the phone, I have 3 or 4 I could call anytime of the day or night and they'd pick up and listen to my bullshit, that's a pretty good deal. I don't consider how lucky I am often enough, can't let that shit get to my head.

I just got back from biking and hanging out with friends. (Shroomerites, actually, Jacques and Sam) I know another Shroomerite named Vitadura pretty well and she is local and likes to hang from time to time. Liz (Shroomerite) and I let our dogs play together and she is pretty local. When I lived in Texas, Dreamer and I had lots of adventures together. Plus I've known KristiMidocean since high school. Almost all of my friends are Shroomerites and I think this is because I didn't really have many friends before I joined the site, and then I realized how neat many of the people are here so I started meeting more of them.

Its funny how we all have the same story. If we all lived closer our lives would be awesome.


--------------------
Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say "I think," "I am," but quotes some saint or sage. He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose.Man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time
TRANSCEND

Just say NO, repeatedly, for say 20 minutes and they still don't get why you aren't driving them across town for more muff.

Not really. It used to a lot before I grew up and told those people they needed to get their shit together or stay the hell away from me. I know a lot of those types and have watched them dig thier holes, I pretty much avoid that scene at all costs now.

JacquesCousteau said:
It breeds dependency and sometimes can hurt the friendship through deep-seeded resentment.




I agree with this completely. The best friends I have are the friends who can leave me alone when I need to be left alone. Back in high school and my early 20's, it seemed like everyone had to be hanging out with someone ALWAYS. Myself included. But at this point in my life, I am busy with work and my own life and my relationship with hatta, and the last thing I feel like doing is going out every night and making someone feel like they HAVE to hang out with me.

Unfortunately, most of my "local" friends have moved away to more greener pastures (such as California and other coastal areas), and I can hardly blame them...Nebraska doesn't seem to be the hot locale for counterculture folk, I wonder why? :smirk:

Pretty much 2-3 locally, depending on what you would consider friends. As I just moved here, I only knew 2 people. But I met my neighbors who live in the apartment above ours and they are very cool people, the first day we met we played djembe on the roof of our building, smoked a bowl and got into a real discussion about the state of the world, which is rare with people these days.

I can make friends pretty easily but real friends are very hard to come by. For the most part though, I just like being alone.. I know what I like and I know I'm not gonna fuck myself over. I enjoy my own company.
I do think I have people problems though as I generally don't trust most people which actually goes against my instincts. I love people but at the same time am very wary of them :shiftyeyes:

i've got my best friend that's been my best friend for almost 12 years. she's one of those really dumb blonde types (hate to use such a stereotypical description, but with her it fits to a T). i would probably dislike her greatly if i had of met her recently instead of back when we were kids. she's the exact opposite of me. she's very loud and hyper and not very bright. too bad we're like joined at the hip and i can't help but love her, even though she can be a selfish bitch a lot of the time.

i've also got another close friend who was my pot dealer until i quit smoking pot. he used to come over all the time to watch movies and smoke bowls. i haven't seen him much recently, not since i quit smoking ... maybe he wasn't that great of a friend after all, but he was awesome when we were hanging out, and also his g/f, whom he met through me. she's awesome. i don't get to see her much at all though.

then there is my little brother's band's drummer. he's a youngin' ... 17, but he'll be 18 soon. him and i get along swimmingly. he's a lot like me, we've got a lot in common. he really reminds me of how i was at 17, all cynical and shit. he's got a good heart and he's a pleasure to be around. he's actually more like a brother than anything, i mean, he's over here all the time.

that's about it. most my 'friends' are online.

i've got 2 really good friends, and then one good friend. i don't really have any acquaintances. you're either considered a friend or you're not. and if you're not then you probably won't be seeing me much, if at all.
