This is probably very different in the real world but have you noticed your more likely to put up with crazy shit from your school friends than the friends out side of school. That's because for 5 days of the week you are forced to be in a rather enclosed space with people. 5 days of the same people all the time, and i have only started to realize this in year 11. But theres a hell of alot of people i actually dont like. ( Don't get me wrong, im pretty sure allot of people feel the same way about me... I Realize it, doesn't mean i care =] )
I mean everyone's okay in small doses.
The Idea That Caused the Theory;
It occurred to me recently that i don't have that many good friends. I mean i have friends yes, but those few people i really know and trust are few. I used too, i used to have quite a few people that i thought i could talk too about everything. But being stuck in the same damn building day after day has made me realize that some of my 'Good Friends' might just be the most irritating people on the planet. I don't really mind it thought, i don't really mind that when i start college (and trust me the eager anticipation is difficult to describe with justice) i wont stay in contact with allot of my friends. I really don't... yeah fair enough there cool people and I've had a brilliant time knowing them. But a select few, i can say without a doubt that not being around them would be a welcome break.
There will be 4 or 5 people that i will stay in contact for the rest of my life and when we are old and frail and hitting on the nurses in our retirement home, i will be truly glad that they have been part of my crazy ass life. But then there will be some that when they go off into the big wild world and never so much as utter a word to me again, i will honesty not care because to be frank. I wont miss the dramatics.
Life goes by so quickly, who really has time to be running after a friend again and again. Who can be bothered to handle the drama and bitchiness of the world, all the time. Lets face it there are millions of people out there. There are only 100 or so students in my year. It was life that brought this selection of people but that doesn't mean these are the greatest friends im ever going to have. So no, in year 11 i wont be putting up with dumb little spastics or angry little girls. I have one year left of manditory school, one year before im truely in control of my own life. And i'll be damned if im going to spend the easiest years of my life putting up with stroppy little girls that cant get there own way.
So if you see me, and im chilling out. On my own or with one or two friends, please remember this.... just because ive known you for a couple of years doesnt mean im going to spend my every waking minuet keeping you my friend, just because you can be bothered.
There are plenty more fish in the sea.
