Heh, HIGH FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE. It almost makes me curious to find out how future!us will fare, and what kind of people we'll end up with. Only ~~time will tell, I suppose!
Sometimes in school I had moments where I compared myself to classmates and wondered if I was "normal" in loving to spend so much time with my parents vs. holidays with friends and all that, and I gotta say that I still prefer doing the former in most cases. Family is awesome and comforting and as an added bonus, they paaaaay for all your food expenses ;DD As for my mom, if you ever head over to Thailand when I am there too, you totally could crash in our swank casa up north-- consider this as your invitation ♥
And lol, the slutbag story is waaay long and convoluted, but suffice to say that she was a former friend who ended up using Ma's office as a dating service and slept with a few of Ma's colleagues (and an 18 yr old ward of a colleague) WITHOUT telling Ma and in some cases actually denying it to her face, and also at the same time had her own boyfriends/boy-toys on the side. Eventually Shit Got Down (AIDs scare! Her main boyf found out about the others! Near case of domestic violence!) and because initial attempts to try and help her get her life together failed, Ma broke off the contact. THIS SOUNDS SO DRAMATIC, I know >_>;;
You make a very interesting and true point with this, though I actually think that for me, it has made me a bit more lazier in certain aspects of RL friendship upkeep. I mean, I assume that by general standards it is still good contact, but most of my RL non-Vienna friends that aren't on FB or skype all the time are sió very tech-shy. SIGHHHH. Normally I would just spam them via email with rambling letters of what is up with me-- something that I tend to do on LJ instead now, and have the bonus of adding fandom/slash-y notes to it that I would have to omit otherwise. Add the fact that I solely communicate with some over skype and I have all this different mini groups that can't be neatly served with regular info-mails now lol so confusing to keep straight who knows what already XDD. It's a good thing most of them live in Europe and we can meet-up in person at least once a year, or I'd be even more at a loss. And sometimes I do wish we'd be in better contact, but jeebus christ it's like some people are allergic to writing LONG or at least more than 2 brief paragraph emails about what is up with their lives. Tss!
