Friends(1)

i was just telling chris the other day how much i missed my friends. it started like this, "honey, this is nothing against you, i do enjoy being with you, but i do miss my friends. i miss talking to them, hanging out with them, going shopping with them....." chris said he's sorry i feel that way. i told him not to worry about it. hmmmmm, what else can i say?

perhaps this is why meeting john and josh lat saturday was really really nice. it's not that i can go shopping with them and hang out with them the same way i do with my girlfriends in thailand, but i'm more related to both of them than anyone else i've met since i came to ohio. the fact that we all went to school in the same class was very helpful. that we spent a lot of time drinking and partying in hawaii helped even more. i've just come to realize that i don't have anyone i can talk to here, but chris. sounds very sad, huh? it's not that i don't have anyone to talk to at all, but it's that nobody 'clicks' with me. not enough 'mutual background' i guess. yea, what can i expect? a woman growing up in thailand and people growing up in ohio. thailand is only half the world away. whenever chris gets together with his buddy, they like to talk about sports. when chris' brothers are here, they talk about sports. hmmmmmm, me talking about NFL, MLB, and NHL? i don't think so. recognizing a few of the tribe's players is all i'm capable of doing (in this life).
