If everyone else can, why can't I?

In case you are wondering, the question I am currently pondering is something along the lines of if all the kids in the area can be friend, why can't I? Now, I do not mean to say I am a introverted creep, or Hobbit if you will, but everyone in my area has friends in the neighbourhood (their age) to whose house they can go to if bored, or call out. Me? I have 2 friends, brother and sister. One is 11 and the other is 9- brilliant right? I used to have friends my age when I was 12, my neighbour Alexandra and my other 2 friends from grde 6, Amanat and Prabhleen. As we all advanced into grade 7 I realized I couldn't stand their grammar and idiocy so I simply left the "clique" and made much better friends, (Jessica, Aisha, Rosalie, Alice...). Still, on those sunny days when I am inside on the computer and look out the window at happy kids I feel sad. I have no one to interact with and most of my socializing takes place online and at school. I am deprived of peers at home. I know Saynuka lives down the street, but she has other friends and I would feel awkward if I just walked in on them. I have an idea as to when this began happening, but what in the world am I going to do? Even my idiot cousin has a line of friend in the neighbourhood... I crave social interaction, but have no salve to my wounds.

If it helps, my only friend on the street is Cookie Monster, and we're both introverted freaks.

I have no one either, there's Vicky(never gonna happen)and then Jasmine and Guneet but I don't think I could hang out with them.

Kanishkan said...

(continued) Or want to.

Jessica said...

We're all a bunch of lonely freaks.
I mean, do you really think I'm going to hang out with Amandeep? Uh, no.
See, we all moved to the wrong part of town. If we lived where Kavita and Aisha and Ian and everyone lived...

Kanishkan said...

That would be so awesome! I could go there every now and then if my parents let me.

Ghazal said...

And then I would not have to worry about who answered the phone when I called Aisha! Now that would be amazing, but sadly, so sadly, I'm not moving any time soon. You guys?

Ghazal said...

Wait, there is Kiana, but I honestly do not think that would work out all the time. I mean, I did hang out with her last summer and all, but as a permanent friend...?

Kanishkan said...

Lol. I'm not moving either and I were I'd be moving to somewhere like Alberta well at least that is what my mom said.

Ghazal said...

If we were moving we would probably move to some place in Vaughan, or Caledon.

Kanishkan said...

Better than somewhere in Alberta.

Ghazal said...

Where would you live in Alberta?

Kanishkan said...

I don't know. My mom says they have better wages there.

Ghazal said...

Oh, I heard that on the news I think. Or wait, maybe online...

Kanishkan said...

Yea apparently it's because of the oil rigs there.

Jessica said...

Yep. A friend of mine moved to Alberta too.
And I could go to that side of Gore to Rose's house or something but the thing is my parents are always busy.

Ghazal said...

Well, you both are lucky you live close enough, I would have to schedule a special day just to do that.

Jessica said...

Oooh, yeah, you would..
Make friends with Navjeet?

Ghazal said...

I am friends with Navjeet, but if I am not allowed to go to the next street alone, what makes you think I will be allowed to go 7 blocks away?

Jessica said...

Good point...
...I guess this means I can't stalk her either.

Ghazal said...

Why were you planning on stalking her in the first place?

Jessica said...

We passed by her street and she was like "my house is number ___ on that street!" and I said "OK, I'm gonna stalk you now."

Ghazal said...

Oh. I should have remembered that. :P

Jessica said...

You were too busy gaming.
I can't believe I just said that...
