I just Googled ‘Terminator 2’ to get the correct spelling for the word judgment. I always toss an extra ‘e’ in there.

Thanks James Cameron.

At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing, where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, is usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we’ve chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them, the people that are still with you at the end of the day—those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need(unknown)

It’s the ‘distance’ thing that really gets to me.  It is bullshit and to be honest, it’s something I’ve noticed more since I moved out West (3+ years ago).  There’s some underlying current of passive behavior out here that really bothers me.  What are people so afraid of?  Is making a real connection with another person that daunting of a task? Maybe my definition of friendship is different than most.  I dunno.

But you said it right, Kaylinn. I’m especially thankful for all the friends I’ve made so far - they are the family that I choose and I’ll have them for as long as I live.
