Well, I said goodbye to my friend Woodja tonight. He's off to his home in Gainesville, FL tomorrow. He's been here for over and week and it's been so much fun. We haven't hung out everyday, but close to it. It's great to see one of my old friends. And it reminds me that some people like me for me.

I realize I don't have enough good friends here in SF. I miss having various friends to call up and hang out constantly. I also know it took me 4 years to develop that in DC-- and honestly, it took quite a long time in DC for the friendship between Woodja and I to develop. Hopefully I'll start having more and more here in SF soon. I think some are definitely developing into closer relationships. But it's also so hard to grow friendships--- so many hangups, non-starters, sexual/romantic queries, disinterests, problems, and other such complications that lead to people not being friends even though there may be so much in common. Human interaction is so complicated.
