ha ha.

well yeah. you know maybe all over the span of your life you'll find some friends you can consider family. but right now it's too early to tell.

one thing i've discovered though, i have to say, in other countries friendships tend to run deeper than in america. here the sense of the individual is such that most people live in a little bubble, and they take refuge in their marriage or whatever. BUT still it's important to develop new friendships and part with the stale ones as your life evolves. it's like an extended family. but yes, you lose the common ground, you lose the same old habits, and your friends are going to look at you and say "WTF happened?" and then it's time to move on. besides what i wrote about america, people here move so much that friendships are more difficult than in places where people stay put in the same house all their lives. or something... im rambling now...
