Amazing!

[fancytalk]

I just got an Evite for a Christmas shindig from friends who live in LA.
Of course, it is on the 10th so I'm not going.
However, I was amazed at the number of people who responded and said they would be there.
A grand total of 77 so far.
Let me also point out that they invited 300 people!
OK, so about 100 people haven't responded so far, but I don't think I know 300 people that I would invite to my house. The other part that I'm amazed by (and perhaps a bit envious) is that they have barely lived in LA six months, yet have collected a large assortment of friends.
I want to be able to collect friends like that!

The strangest part is you are one of THE most likeable people I have met on LJ. Also, even though you haven't been around a long time, you are one of my closest friends in both LJ and the world. Given you have won over this stone bastard, who barriers up to the sky for his own protection, I am amazed there isn't a 4 year waiting list to just say "hello" to you.

Let's apply my theory on love at first sight to friends. I think it works in the same way, there are just some people that for some odd, ungodly reason you are drawn to (or repelled from). Sometimes you just know that they should be in your life. Then you put the wall building, moat digging, fence raising duo together. I friended you because there was just something there and I have finally learned after all these years to listen to my instincts.
