Go Ahead and Ask Me

Friend Threshold

I know many people. Just here on campus, I know nearly every person who has worked in my building in the last 3 years. I know every single person who has ever been to an InterVarsity event. I have friends that I met through friends. I'm neither complaining nor bragging. I'm noting that there is no plausible way for me to keep up with the people that I love on this campus. It can't be done.

So I find myself thinking on who are my truest, nearest and dearest friends here? A better clarification question is this: If I get married in 4 years, who will I invite to my wedding that I know now?

Many people come to mind, but many get dismissed as well. Sara is transferring, and although I pretend that we will keep in close contact and our relationship will always be this strong, I doubt that we will. Even Liz, who I have lived with for two years: who is to say that we will stay close?

I'm being to sardonic, but here's a list of my college friends who I know almost for sure that I will still be in contact with in 4 years:

Aubs
Derek
Marissa
Jackie-dee
Shaun
Matt


and people that I really hope to be so with:

Shannon
Alex
Mary
Brittany
John
Zach
Eliza
Liz
Patrick-but I doubt it, he has a pretty high friend density as well
Sara
Melissa
Jeff
Ashley P.
Bry-again, not gonna happen, she's transferring.
Lily, Kate or Mallory!



I'm sure that there are many others


At the moment I'm not even very caught up with my sibs, and although there are 5 of them, there's always email...
