This question has been on the top of my mind recently, and I have thought about it a lot. One thing that has bugged me lately is that I'm not having fun doing things that I had fun doing last year and earlier this year.
I have basically gotten tired of hanging out with friends and not doing anything or trying anything new. The same ol' same ol' is starting to get real boring. Also, a lot of the stuff I just started to enjoy recently has gotten bad because of some of the people that I have to do these activities with.
Basketball and Frisbee are a good example of things that I really don't like anymore. A lot of the people I play with are really quite bad people to play any sort of sports game with. They often take the fun out of it and turn it into an irritating competition.
I think many of the people I hang out with on occasion have hang-ups that make certain situations akward or not fun at all.
Sexuality is something that is pissing me off the most. Some people I know deny the chance to act on this, and others don't know how to go about this. I am getting really bored of everything being non-sexual, but I always have a sausage fest around, so I really have no choice.
I do have to say though that I genuinely like all my friends that i hang out regularly, but if i slow down hanging out with you, it's because I have gotten tired of some of the stuff we do/don't do.
you said it. it comes off as asking for a lot, but its true. spread your wings and fly
Posted by: joel at June 10, 2004 1:06 AMi'm a girl. but yes...a lot of sausage and no sexual activities seems pretty norm. i haven't hung out with people for a long time it seems.

bouncy ball party
plus I have many ticks and thus am oversensitive to others'. this makes me frustrated in a similar way
New things, eh? Hard drugs would be pretty sweet.
I think when you hang out every night of every week, you can't expect to do something unique every time. It's just damn near impossible to think of stuff to do. It's not the activity... its the company and the location. And Im sorry we're not packed full enough of ladies to suit your goals, but if you ever want to attempt to change that, I'd be all for helping.

Posted by: jayme at June 10, 2004 2:21 PMYou have just put what's been on my mind into words. I love my friends dearly, but since summer has started, I've never been away from them. They don't bore me, but the fact that we never do anythign different bores me, the idea of it all. What is there to do? I don't want to change who I hang around with, because they understand my lingo as well as my sarcasm and thoughts. Hmm...I have to go work out.
Posted by: chelsea at June 10, 2004 4:32 PMAssuming you are talking about me and the lack of fun during basketball and frisbee...sorry, I am competitive.
I haven't quite gotten bored yet. Staying at daves house and watching movies is a lot of fun sometimes, same with chilling and playing video games. You can't go out and party every night. I have no problem playing basketball or frisbee, so long as Loehr isn't there. Frisbee on saturdays isn't as much fun as it used to be, I agree.
I have 1 hang up. Drugs, sorry Ryan, but I don't think most of you guys understand.
Haha, and regarding sexuallity, sometimes its good to hang out with the guys (+samara and Liz), and then there are times where you have to branch off and hang out with females, skutty, mw girls or marian in my case. I'm hanging out with MW girls next week if you want to come. Same with skutt girls.
If you are getting bored hanging out with "the group" Ryan then suggest other activities instead of just complaining about it.

Posted by: lena at June 10, 2004 5:23 PMi like the lack of sexual stuff when i hang out with my friends. I've done the whole flirtatious wild thing, or atleast been around it a lot, and it's soooo annoying. everything is sexual, and i'm not talking about sexual jokes, i'm talking about people going off and making out or "other" stuff. I would always feel like i had to be some person i wasn't to please the guys, like a piece of meat. it's annoying, and i don't think that people are genuine in any way when they are just into that stuff. Anyone can slobber on another, but it takes more than that to actually be fun to be around, spontaneous, and interesting. that is ofcourse only my opinion.
Posted by: emily at June 10, 2004 5:26 PMi know how you feel, maybe try smokin some doobies
Posted by: erik! at June 10, 2004 7:27 PMsorry if i pissed anybody off, i have just been confused and bored of the same ol' same ol'. There are certain new things that, in perspective, don't seem as fun anymore. Don't get me wrong, I love haning out with everybody I hang out with........to a certain extent. It seems that in the past year or more that things have not been that dynamic, and I am someone who thrives on things being that dynamic. Perhaps it is because I was new here that nearly everything excited me, but now certain things are starting to get stale. On occasion I still enjoy doing those things, i just wish that things could change a little more often. Please do not be offended. I will be offended if you get offended for your lack of understanding the situation.
