I'm 31 years old. I have a circle of friends who are incredibly accepting and great fun to be around. All but a few of them now know (actually, a couple have known for a while, but I just found out they knew) my Darkest Secretstm and (at least outwardly) don't condemn me to the hells of my choice.
I would rather be with these people than with my own family, excepting my sisters and niece (all of three people).
Why, then, do I see people like Ernie, Steve, Dave, and Min Jung Kim and think "Why don't I know people like them?"
Because I'm a big giant freaking DORK, that's why. The grass is always greener. And, in the case of all but Steve, they live and work in my home, while I'm relegated to this exile in the Central Valley.
Had I the money, I'd up and move all my friends somewhere nice. But then, of course, I'd have to argue with them about where. Especially Gregory, who for some reason I will never understand loves this place. While I concede it isn't as bad as, say, Fresno, it's still a place I will only ever tolerate, and not love.
I harp on this a lot, I know. Deal.
