consumerist friends

friends use one another, no? I'm not quite convinced of this truth yet, though there is truth to it...We live in a generation that throws out plastic utensils after using them...because washing them would be too difficult (and there may not be anything implicitly wrong with this mentality). however, there is a danger in sifting between friends depending on their pragmatic/intrinsic value at a given moment. making plans is rarely a group activity, though sometimes you can be proactive in inserting yourself in a happening of friends that has already pulled themselves together. I'm not convinced yet that there is anything inherently wrong with inviting yourself along especially regarding the way most plans are formed, informally...ironic eh? informally formed plans, ha!

so what does this say for those who aren't active in making plans and involving themselves--they're often left out. it is a pity, but society moves too fast to even remember them... even at Gordon, it is ridiculous just how many people do fall between the cracks and just how few people care about them. it takes proactivity on behalf of those creating the plans to ensure that such people are included, because, hey it could be (and most likely has been at one point or another) you. :)
