More to the point Friends who are happy to be friends, so long as it takes no effort on their part.
Recently I"ve had time to think on it, probably too much time, but all my friends seem to be happy to be my friend, so long as they don't have to make any effort, they're happy to hang out so long as I make the effort to drive to them, I've been to all my friends houses, but no one has ever been to mine. A couple of years ago I drove about 650 miles to see some friends, I roughed it to do it (I mean roughed it, I lived in my car in the woods, bathed in a stream, all that) and they were happy to see me so long as I turned up where they were, but they couldn't even be bothered to go about 5-10 minutes to come visit me where I was camped. A week or so later I drove down to Miami to hang out with a couple of them and visit a couple of other people, the day before I left the US a friend went to disney world with some other friends and one of the people I was staying with and couldn't even be bothered to say good by that night when they dropped him off. When I got back home a couple of the same friends were over in Australia visiting another mutual friend, just over in Melbourne a 2 hour plane flight away, couldn't be bothered making the effort to come and visit me. Last year I drove over 2000km to visit another couple of friends from the first group I mentioned, spent a week or so with them, had a great time, but again they've made no effort or attempt to visit me. Even now, with the few friends I have around Adelaide, they're happy to hang out if I suggest it and make the effort to drive to them (About a 100km round trip) but no one is willing to get together if it takes any effort on their part, I'm just getting so sick of it, it feels like I'm taken for granted and that people are just using me.
