Catch up dinner with Peter & Anita @ Habib's in Bankstown.
Pete is a hard working dentist (looks young doesn't he!), and i met him at a rave in 2004? I think it was Godspeed. Those were the good old days!! He's busy man working 6 days a week. But he enjoys what he does so that's all that really matters, but you do need a break otherwise you'll feel run down tired. I feel like that sometimes and i work 5 days a week doing admin/accounts lol.
Anita just got a new job at a large law firm so Congrats girl! We met on livejournal, and realised we lived just 4 streets away from each other lol. Since then we've been buddies, and our birth date's are one day apart!!
I believe it's hard to balance all the thing's in life. E.g friend's, family, boyfriend, yourself, work & play. It's always one thing that dominates, and some thing is left behind.
But i try to balance all these things as much as i can. Catching up with friends is probably the least that i do out of everything, but that's normal isn't it ?? Well, if you have a boyfriend that is..
On the weekend i was part of a discussion about - friends who don't put as much effort into a friendship as you do. Now, my answer to this was 'if someone isn't putting in the effort, then why should you?' If you are constantly calling out your friend, ringing them to chat, keeping in touch, but they don't do the same - then it's obvious who values the friendship more.
And the guy said ' yeah that's true.. but i'm a single guy. When you're single you grab every opportunity to go out with anyone, otherwise you're on your own that night. Where as if you have a boyfriend/girlfriend, you don't need to because you have each other to hang out with.
This made sense to me. I guess i won't understand it from his point of view because i've never been single long enough to feel that way.
I have a friend, she was my bestfriend in highschool. After we graduated, i kept in contact with her kind of. Each birthday i'd take her out for a meal, and i'd ring her now & then for a chat to see how she's going. 6 years on, i realised that i was the only one making the effort to keep in touch..
I'm going to drop her from my life, even though i only see her once a year, i give up on putting in all the effort.
Friend's come and go in your life. BUt true friends stick with you for life.

That's so true... there are so many people in life that just don't bother to keep in contact with each other it's more of a "friendship of convenience" in reality. If you're there then they are your friend if you're not there they don't bother. HEY YOUR HEAD IS COVERING MINE!! hehe

You're my bestfriend for Life :]
Its is hard staying in touch with friends when you have a partner. I find it hard myself but to make things easier I like it that we have fun hanging out with each others friends. I guess if you do it together it makes it easier catching up with both parties.
I do think for a healthy relationship its good to spend time apart other than being with your partner all the time.
Single people do take every opportunity to see everyone because they have no strings attached. But as soon as they get a partner they automatically detach themselves from others. I think its just being human. =(
I agree no point holding on to people who don't pay back the favour in return. Its wasting your time and their time. Thats how I see it?
It sux that anita wont be down the road from me anymore =( she's all the way on the other side of the city >_<
yay for anita!! i didn't know she got a new job, woot!
yeah that dentist looks YOUNG. he must be so smart, omg, dentistry is HARD.
i totally agree, true friends ARE for life, even if you go ages without seeing them (say because of someone being overseas). when you see each other again it's like no time passed.
these days almost everyone i know has a partner or is living interstate or overseas so i don't see them that much. i've never been someone who gets annoyed when someone spends a lot of time with their bf/gf. it's like, hello, they're a couple, get over it some ppl! lol.
i like my own alone time anyway, i wouldn't like friends constantly calling or popping over >.< LOL.

Yeah hanging out with your partners friend's is like shooting 2 birds with a stone, or however that quote goes so all good ^.^
Yeah, i can name a few people who have completely shut off their friends as soon as they got a boyfriend/girlfriend. It is being human, but some people keep doing it. Come back when they're single, f#ck off when they're taken.
Being too dependant on your partner isn't really healthy because just incase you know something happens down the track you won't have anyone there for you.
