empty vessels

I have a sneaking suspicion that blogging every day is going to be about making tiny insignificant aspects of my life have more importance than they actually deserve. It's OK though. I'm good at that.

However, today something happened that I think is worth sharing. Not for the reader's sake, but for my own. I said au revoir to a friend. I won't be seeing him for a little over 3 weeks now and that makes me sad. I think I've just become so used to him being a permanent fixture in my life that I don't like the idea of him not being around for so long. Even the people that are supposed to be permanent fixtures in my life have ended up being nothing more than empty promises and half forgotten memories. I think the people I surround myself with now are far different to that. We'd never have to fight for our friendships to survive, because we'd never let it slip away from us due to something silly and petty. Indeed it might be the case that we can barely fill up a dining table for prom, but it's quality not quantity.

I try so hard to imagine people complexly, but some girls can often seem like such vacuous beings. With no want to be anything other than empty vessels. Maybe that's a tad judgemental and it's a bit too much like a sweeping generalisation for my liking. But that's how I feel.

On a completely different note, (one that will undoubtedly make me seem like an empty vessel myself) I bought a new dress today. Hurrah for the summer sun and the dreadful materialistic side it brings out in us all.
