This is silly but all this time I've been wanting the same sort of social connection and group I had in the East Coast. I've complained in these pages about how the 'community' in this town of Seattle is a group of independent beings that will come together if their interests align and if they really want to, given somebody organizes something and they're free plus only if they're in the mood to which might change at the very last moment. Not a real community, just a bunch of folks who might or might not come together, depending on their convenience. Sort of.
I've been thinking about this, and the problem seems to be that most of those folks are either single and single and on the younger side. They've never organized, they've never created a community for themselves, and due to their singleness a lot of them don't have, to put it colloquially, their shit together.
Now that I have one or two or three or four couple friends, and have generally started hanging out with them not regularly but every so often, maybe I should be the one to organize events and invite them, and be the social glue that holds the group together, the trunk that branches hold off of? So what if they're not independently friendly, as long as they are my friends and my community, it works for me!
With that in mind I'm doing a picnic of sorts in an hour, at volunteer park.
That is all.
