Quick thoughts
May. 8th, 2002 09:10 amI have things to do today, but I wanted to write a quick post.
1) For anyone (and I know of two people now) who took offense to not being called Friend, I apologize. I draw a line between people who I'm friendly with and people who are friends. Certainly, with time and with effort, you can go from BEING friendly to being friends. But it does require that effort. I'm sorry that some of you feel left out of the crowd, but it comes down to that effort or that history.
I'd certainly LIKE to be friends with anyone who I'm friendly with, so don't take that comment as in "Oh, he doesn't consider me a friend. He hates me." That's not it at all. I just don't know you well enough to consider you a friend is all.
I don't USE the term "Friend" lightly. Only for those few who strive to actively know me better and to understand and accept me. On the other hand, I don't specifically HAVE a "best" friend. Anyone who makes it into the Friend category *IS* a best friend.
So, anyways, hopefully I didn't get myself in more trouble there...
2) I'm thinking of buying a bicycle. It was an idea I had a while back that's seeming better and better, especially as I get to the gym and I realize I just don't want to use the elliptical anymore. I'm bored of it. I want to weight train and I want to jog, but I'm bored of spending an extra half hour on that elliptical.
So does anyone have any brand suggestions or model suggestions?
3) My post generated alot of concern. For those concerned, after a nice day off yesterday where I got to talk to ALOT of people I don't usually talk to, I feel generally better. The one thing that continues to bother me, though, is that it took the post to bring these people out of the closet. To remind them, maybe, that, Hi, I'm here too. I'll try to hold my end out about mentioning what's bothering me, here if not online. I just hope we don't have to go through this again.
So, I'm off to the gym and then at 12:00, we discuss my GIS project.
See y'all around.
