How can I find a friend?

[Ghost]

miles, why be self conscious about going out alone? People are more apt to talk to you if you're by yourself. Perhaps there is some civic group you could join...I am actually thinking of becoming a Freemason not because I lack friends, I just want to have a deeper connection to my community and expand the group of people I have connections with. I would also suggest going to church, but that might not be your cup of tea....perhaps finding a good coffee shop would suit you.

How old are your students btw?

Well to use an old term, You dont find friends ..you make friends

So why don't you go to a Synagogue?

I imagine Miles would be even less welcome at the synagogues than Jesus was

Well he did say recently that he looks slightly Gay um Jewish.

And it is kinda hard to make friends when he has snail slime all over his hands from studying the reproductive cycle of said species.

Haha, you bastards!

I don't want a friend anymore. I had a satisfying evening watching the cricket and drinking Japanese beer. England even got the win which was highly unlikely for much of the evening. And now that the day has broken, I feel quite mellowed out. I've always been a solitary kind of man anyway and there is lots that I could be doing. I have the entire university library at my disposal which I haven't even checked out yet and that means free access to online journals. That's my day sorted. And who needs to go out on a friday night? I will stay home, shoot zombies and annoy you lot.

I just got done watching Toy Story 1 with my gf and her little nephew. And guess which song pop up in the intro?

Here ya go Miles. You can even teach him to yell at loud Korean venders too

That buddy dude looks like a lot of fun, lucky kid. I might just buy a basketball, paint a smiley face on it and stick it in the corner of the room. Sometimes life is a little bit like Castaway plus a little bit of Lost in translation.

Can't you just go out for a drink with the least annoying people you drink with, then get to know their mates and their mates until you have established a collective group of people who you can tolerate or who don't piss you off to much and can stand drinking with?
