As of late, I can count my true friends on only one hand. And day by day, that hand seems to be closing, slowly working it's way into a fist.

I guess I must have missed that meeting...

The one where the value of friendship was equated to that of a prize from a cereal box.

Sure, it was great and fun when you first got it, but new ones come along that make the old one boring, outdated, sometimes even an inconvenience to have around.

It's sad to see that people would rather have flash & dazzle than loyalty, trust, and generosity. I, personally, am fiercely loyal to my friends. If I'm still going out of my way to see or contact you, you've obviously earned that. But it seems that it doesn't mean much these days. Everyone's looking to push thier own social or professional agenda(s), not caring about who they step on to get what they want. "Loyal or not, if you can't benefit me, I don't want you around.". It's pure shit, I tell you.

Or, maybe it's just me as of late, or at least other people's perception of me. But, I don't think I've changed in any way to alter any previous perception that may have been held. In fact, if I have, it's been for the better. My general mood has been nothing but positive since my most recent relation-shit ended. If anything, I figured that would make people want to be involved with me again since I'm not complaining about it all the damned time.

What the hell has happened?

I helped the ex-girl / friend(?) move into her new apartment, and I broke a window while bringing a table up the stairs. I did the right thing and called her landlord offering to pay for it, but I have a sneaking suspicion he's going to try to get more money out of it than it's worth. But, as usual, I have a plan...
