In My Circle
I have always been really close to the chest. With emotions, my job, feelings, friends, and everything else I suppose in my life. I can be tough to get to know and in a lot of ways distant until I am comfortable and that can take some time.
I suppose as a result when I look back over a year, there really are not a lot of new people that I can say that I have as new friends. That is probably true of most people my age I guess though. You form your circle of close friends and that is it. Kinda odd when you factor in how out going I can be.
I have been spending a lot of time with Jennifer and Chad recently and I can sense that they are special people and hopefully life long friends. Just good people. Oddly enough, there is no reason that I should not have met Jennifer years ago with all that we have in common and the people that we know. I think that I am drawn to them the most because of the fact that we seem to be at the same "place" in our lives right now. It's odd but it feels a lot like the brother sister relationship that I had with Wendell and Chelsea at Kellogg. Very similar.
All said, I am glad they are on my team and in my circle at the moment.

I have the same core group of friends I had in college with one addition.
Phain and I had the same conversation about finding people at the same "place" in life. It lead to her trifecta post. It isn't as easy as I think it should be. I am wondering if it will get easier with age, but some how I doubt it will.
I have a handful of friends that I've had for 20 years or so...I'm a friendly sort of person, but I call people coworkers or a friend of a friend but not usually "my" friend. I just don't open myself up like that to let people in. Jamie says it makes me unsociable, but I'm not. I'm sociable as all get out, but taking it to the next level would have to mean you're somethin special.
It sounds like you might have that with your new friends-and that's pretty cool. Good for you. AND...Good for them.
