The Spot

Coincidences are cool and disturbing. Have you ever had a thought dwelling at the back on your mind, and then it confronts you in real life?
Last night I was reading a book for class and thinking to myself that I miss having the kind of friends I can call up for no good reason. Hang around with all the time. And then I read the following: "Not until you reached college, where everyone started fresh, did you begin to pick up the tricks of winning friends and influencing people." (pg 47)
This is supposed to happen in college? Shit. The last time that happened to me was High School. Unless the students at McGill are all snobs.
That must be it.
Seriously tho, I miss my friends. I also wonder what I'm doing wrong. I have a theory, but it seems somewhat irrational. Maybe
*coincidental*. The truth is, my frienship/social life index fluxuates pretty regularly. Every time I change schools, in fact. Just look at the evidence:
Pre K-grade 4: ok, I don't really remember that far back :)
5-6: liked by all
7-9: my friends are my enemies
10-12: an overabundance of loyalty and truth
U0-U3: adrift in a sea of girly-girls and manly men.
The good news is that according to this analysis, my upcoming years at law school should yield another round of people I'm proud to know. But *gasp* they'll be lawyers. The ultimate paradox.

PS: speaking of coincidences, real ultimate power keeps coming up. The other day I was browing member portfolios and found it was Sam-I-Am's homepage. It's hilarious, and I was surprised I hadn't heard about it before. Then, two days later it appears again ...in a completely unrelated place. Creepy.
