The Usual Suspects



This is a recent picture of friends I've had since Kindergarten.

As many of you know, Jon and Gen are at CA with me. The Third one, Sage, is studying in Tazmania of all places. These guys have been literally more like brothers than friends (I know that's extremely corny). My father kindly calls us the usual suspects. I can literally talk to them about anything, but I usually don't have to because they usually already know what I'm thinking.

On Friday night I went out with some friends. Over a udon dinner we had a very long conversation about our so far, "Life expreriences" (mostly concerning relationships).

Afterwords I met up with Jon to start our long journey back to Kyoto. We spoke about each other's evenings. As I nodded off to sleep I had a thought...

I compared my relatively "New" friends, to "The Guys" who I've known for more than 10 years. The scary part was that I didn't notice much of a difference in how close I was to either of them.

What is it that makes people close? Is it time? Well, if that were the case why do I feel the same closeness to both groups of friends? One of who I've only known for a little over 2 years and another who I've known for the majority of my life. If it was time, what about those people who you have known for ages that you are just not close with?

What is it? I guess its silly to try and pinpoint it to one factor. There are a lot of variables.

But nevertheless, here is my own silly little theory.

Sharing.

I don't mean sharing as in, "You can have some of my jello Cindy!" What I mean is sharing of experiences, emotions, memories, secrets, thoughts and so on and so forth. The more two people share the more connections they make. And the more connections they make, the closer they become.

So I guess time can effect how much you share with someone, as would many of the variables I've tried to pinpoint.

I've shared many things with the usual suspects as I have with the friends I have made at CA these past two years.

Share. Connect. Enjoy.

Sounds like a internet add.

Hey, your hair looks really good in the first picture.
"You can have some of my jello Cindy!" SAIKOU. I literally laughed my head off~~ whoooooooaaaae~~ (soundeffect of my head flying, in case you didn't know).
Nanka, your blog really made me think about those stuff too, especially because I don't get to trust a lot of people in general.

Sharing... share and care... give and take... no pain, no gain... hmmm, damn, I need to finish my essay.

Looks like a criminal photo...But haha yeah I like the pose..hisokani Gen dake nanka chigau..(his thumbs are up) I'm pretty sure time is not a factor for being close with someone. There are people who I've known for 10 years and could never get close to, and people I've known for just 3 hours and we just CONNECT! Timing I think is importatant. It's just that you need to be there at the right place and at the right time to just grasp the other person's softside. Also the common experiences you have with the other person is important. lIke....you were both were chansed by a dog toka.

hiro, gen's thumbs are up because he's unique, he's different from the others (hido).

ma, i dont hav that much close close friends from KB or something (like, i only have one or two), but time doesnt matter. It's how you feel about each other, also the experiences that you go through with that person. The twelve yrs that iv known a person feels like 3 or 4 yrs, while the two or 3 yrs iv spent w/ new friends feels longer than the twelve yrs iv had at CA. really weird. but i guess thats how its meant to be (nani ga iitainen te kanji).
