Over-exposure to Friends = Bad.

Man, recently, there's been a lot of annoyances in my life. Mainly friends. Many of the friends I hang out with quite often has changed. Don't get me wrong, I changed quite a bit too, but it seems some of the things my friends do makes me annoyed.

First of all, it seems that some of my friends are into that "drinking", "smoking" and "weed" phase, where all they talk about is that. It becomes annoying, especially because they know I do not favor those kinds of things, and they intend to isolate me from the conversation because of it. Eventually, however, they are cornered into a situation where they're in trouble because of it, and guess what they do? They look for me for help. Also, if they aren't in trouble, they reach this quite "hyperactive" state that brings a lot of risky situations. They tend to be more risky when driving, and obnoxious when screaming for no reason at all. Its all good fun, but it is immature.

Secondly, there has been a particular person that I have grown annoyed at. He isn't what he used to be. It seems that we're aren't friends anymore, and he tends to act indifferently to our conversations. When I make a mistake, however, he is the first to insult or emphasis my mistake. What do I mean by that? Well, there was a time when I made a mistake, and apologized to someone. When I said that, my friend replies with "Sorry doesn't mean shit". It was a minor thing too. I understand that he wishes to correct flaws in people's actions, but I have come to realize that the way he does it is rude, and indifferent to that person's feelings.

Third and last on the list, are competitive couples. "The winterball boom" is what they call it. I have several friends that are dating one another, and I myself am as well. What I find quite annoying is the fact that these couples tend to get quite competitive against me when it comes to which relationship is better. They brag about their relationships, and often criticize mines. I know you like who you're dating, and I do too, but it doesn't mean that you can insult another couple just to make yourself look better.

I have alot to rant about tonight, and a lot of this has been bothering me. Most of those "usual" friends I hang out with have changed quite a bit. It may be the fact that I hang around them too much, but nonetheless, I do not like it. The musical, classes, and tight schedules have forced me to face the same people everyday. It seems I am unable to reach those close friends of mines that I used to talk to everyday, and I'm faced with those that are good friends, but also those I cannot intimately talk to in a one on one level.
