    One Friend

    I want to have one friend and one friend only! I will make an exception for 2 friends or perhaps even 3 friends, because I do like people.

    There I really have to draw the line! It is not that I have turned anti social all of a sudden, no, far from it. Actually, it is more the opposite. I have been way too social. There are the international friends in Melbourne, the hockey friends, there is the family (yes I do have family, even in Melbourne!), there are the uni friends from the two different universities I am attending at the moment, there are the new friends from our week of hockey in Perth and of course there are the random friends we picked up along the way as well.

    Oh I almost forgot. I have to attend classes at the university as well, and spend some hours at work. And lets not forget selling Magic Wallets on Nicollo.biz!

    So what is my problem?

    I will give you an example. A friend was trying to plan something like a simple BBQ.

    First attempt is shot down. Some people were going to Perth to play hockey for a week. Sorry dude, that was almost half the people in the message.

    Second attempt 50 minutes later. Sorry dude, there is a 21st birthday that night. And oh btw there is probably going to be another 21st celebration on that day or the day before. It is not even a close date, it is more than a month away.

    Third attempt is not attempted but postponed to further notice.

    The moral of the story? In Melbourne, social life is amazing but scheduling anything requires the patience of a saint. I wouldn't trade it for the world though!
