You know when you run into an old friend or acquaintance on campus or at the grocery store or wherever and you have one of those real quick catch-up-on-eachothers-lives-in-2-minutes-or-less chats? They always end in something to the effect of: "Hey, well ... we should hang out!" "Yeah, for sure! I'll call you.."Well I have a proposal. Can we just scrap that whole ending? We both know that we aren't gonna hang out. We both have busy lives. We are no longer priorities in eachothers lives no matter how close we may have once been. Let's just erase the unnecessary guilt of not following through with our plan to plan on hanging out later at some undetermined place and time.
If you really do really sincerely want to hang out with me, then go for it. Say those words in parting. But if you don't... please... a friendly "Well it was nice running into you. Have a great day" will more than suffice.

lindsay. i meant it. just because i sleep 10 feet away from you does not mean we can't plan a time to hang out. for realsies. i'll call you. in fact. i'll have my people call your people. soooo, i guess that means jason will call claire? hmmm. yeah. i'll get back to you on that.
but seriously.. i really do love running into you on campus
dont worry becca, i wasnt talking about YOU!! or anyone that reads this blog. i would LOVE to hang out with all of you!!
yes. I had this happen three times today within 15 minutes. i also no longer ask "how are you?" in passing. because I know they'll just say "good."
