inspired by that zomgBirthdayParty thread from last night...
I've got like 3 distinct groups of friends that I actively try to keep separated because, while I like them all, I'm fairly certainly that they wouldn't necessarily like each other.
high school/hometown friends -- the people I hang out with on a regular basis. pretty much all yuppies, both married and singles. alcohol use? low. drug use? none
sophomore/junior year of college friends -- other english majors. probably my best friends in college, but are currently scattered all over the north east/mid-atlantic, so I only see them once or twice/year. alcohol use? heavy. drug use? none
senior year of college friends -- my D&D buddies, mostly. my english major friends were a year ahead of me, so I had to adopt a new group of friends for my senior year. I live in close proximity to 2 of them, so I see them all the time, and I meet up with another one who lives semi-close to go clubbing every couple weeks. alcohol use? heavy. drug use? heavy
it's kind of annoying if like I go to a party and can't tell certain people about it because I don't want to offend them ("sorry, I didn't invite you because you don't drink and I know you'd just be a wet blanket all night") but it's nice to have different outlets for different facets of my personality. <3
