has this ever happened to any of you? i met a great group of new friends a while ago, and we've been hanging out regularly. they seemed so nice and eager to make me feel comfortable within their peer group, but then something changed. do you ever meet people that seem to have the same interests as yourself, but then they all go and do something totally sick-like, i don't know, uh, maybe they make their own puppy and kitten sausages-and that makes you call into question some other things that you had had in common, like an appreciation for capra films, or getting sno-cones at the stand on canal and rendon, or making children drink turpentine? i mean, does my association with them reflect on me personally?
