Talking to an old friend after a long while and realising you hardly have anything in common anymore.

I've had that Lommy. If you want to stay friends what you have to do is find things you can both start to like. It takes a bit more effort, but it was worth it in order to stay friends with the girl who was once my best friend.

I'll assign my ridiculous sleeping pattern. I'm getting fed up of not being able to get to sleep til 5 in the morning.

Worrying battling with growing apathy, who's inflating frustration's ego.
That is what I can personally assign to the depths of Mordor with glee.
I imagine others who are reaching the end of their semesters (quarters for other college/uni folks of the world) are feeling the same way.

Ouch, know that feeling too. Best bet is to take the advice of Kath, sometimes you can turn things around for the better of you both.

I tried that with an old friend this summer. Didn't really work out exactly since we were both working, but it was nice to talk and know that he's gotten out of all the trouble I'd previously known him for.

Not knowing your aria from your alto...

The complete inability of anyone on my father's side of the family to give or take a competent and coherent message.

I will spare you the tedious details but my aunt rambled so much that it was about 6 phone calls later that I finally discovered that my sister had broken her elbow not her leg in the accident she had originally called to tell me about .... either she needs elocution lessons, I need a hearing test or one of us is going barmy... I know where my bet is going....

Not being able to sleep for unknown reasons.

Coffee. It tastes bad and I can't drink it without adding heaps of sugar and lots of milk to it.

Being sure you'll be tired when you shouldn't be.

Or maybe I should just say this morning in general.




... and looking at this post, I may assign turning grumpier all the time as well.

People in the dorm room above mine who decided that Dance Dance Revolution and Clog Dancing are appropriate at one in the morning.
