Writer's Block: Friends and acquaintences
May. 23rd, 2008 05:29 pm[Error: unknown template qotd]A friend is someone with whom you have spent time getting to know each other. An acquaintance is a person you know in passing or have only talked with a little bit. An acquaintance becomes a friend after you express an interest in them and vice versa, and then you get to know each other. I don't know if there is a certain amount of time. It is when you feel comfortable with them and know them in their own words.
[Error: unknown template qotd] My bluntness. I seem to have it mostly under control now, but as a child/teenager I spoke what I thought, even if the thought was "I'm glad he's dead." I still let it out sometimes. There are things you just don't do in the Midwest, like tell a person you don't like them. I have done that to certain people. The reactions are intruiging.
