Does it annoy anyone else when people say to you "We should hang out!" when you haven't talked to them in years and you are clearly incompatible as friends??

Before I continue, let me say that this applies to nobody that's reading this. If you're reading this, you are one of my bffs and I think we should hang out as much as you'll let me.

It's happened dozens--HUNDREDS--of times throughout my college career. And now, in my life as a "post-grad", if you will, it's still happening. Just because we live in the same general area does not mean we NEED to be friends. If we went to high school together and I haven't talked to you since Graduation Celebration in 2005, there is probably a reason. We don't need to pretend like we are besties. We certainly don't need to hang out. I can promise you that we will both leave our reunion feeling awkward, regretful, and remembering exactly why we haven't kept in contact over the years. And then we will just go back to calling it what it is and not talking for years.

It might be even more uncomfortable when you run into someone and they end it with "We should hang out!" when there is a mutual understanding that neither of you is going to make an effort to call the other one. Ever.

Maybe this was a little harsh, and maybe I sound like a biotch. But I'm just being real!

In other news, I'm up to a whopping 2 miles with my running. Update from my last entry: I have one friend that has given me a 20% commitment to running the half marathon with me. (That person will remain nameless for his/her own protection.) Hey, I'll take what I can get!
