On the Calendar

Anti-Socialicity

So I never really used to spend much time on the phone… well, since high school anyway. I don’t frequently reach out to peeps… preferring my solitude most of the time. I’m happy to talk to friends who reach out to ME… but for a while, there weren’t an awful lotta calls flooding in. Which was perfectly understandable considering I didn’t contact them, either.

Calendar-Worthy

So each time I talked to somebody on the phone was a special enough occasion to mark on the calendar. I still do that, though I now have far more phone conversations in a week than I used to conduct in a month. I have Fussbudget and Bus Snob to thank for that. I think possibly cuz our friendships started long distance in the first place, it’s more natural for it to be conducted over the phone (as well as IM). For the friends I’ve known in real life first, the communication simply isn’t quite the same.

I think I’ve already noted that Fussbudget and I are great ramblers… we can go on for hours about nothing in particular. :) She once told me she called just so she could get on my calendar… lol Now it’s a running joke.

Moving Past Crisis Mode

But last night belonged to Halloween Nut. We had a real good talk… about anything and everything. She’s getting along MUCH better… was just in crisis mode last week. Which happens to us all. I’m comfortable knowing she’ll get along okay… and she always knows I’m just a phone call away if she needs to talk. We covered a lotta different subjects on life and theology that she doesn’t feel she can talk about with anybody else. I know we’re gonna have a lotta long nights talking while I’m in San Diego. :) But amway, I feel more comfortable knowing I can focus any decisions I make about moving purely on my own needs, desires and motivations.

Scheduling Puzzle

I also fit together a few more pieces of my busy trip schedule… contacting Red and Shorty, a friend I’ll call The Witch (cuz she genuinely considers herself a witch, dabbling in magics and witchcrafts and such), my Boot Camp Buddy, the Beavs, and another Synth friend for which I have yet to figure out a blog name. I’m still waiting to hear back for sure on the last three, but it is all comin together.

I checked out the program for the All-Class High School Reunion that Mrs. Beav sent me, and I opted against it. I tend to be the wallflower around folks I don’t know (shocker, right?) and I didn’t know many in school aside from Synth peeps and my close quartet of friends. And $60 is a bit much to pay to be a wallflower. Plus, I know I’ll be pretty exhausted (not to mention sore) by the end of my trip, so I’d much prefer a smaller gathering of friends for a dinner party or some such.

The good thing is that all this scheduling is familiar territory, what with all the meetings I coordinate daily at work. In fact, this is actually a snap compared to some of the stuff I’ve had to organize. *grin*
