I recently just met someone at blues dancing. She is really pretty awesome, in that she really reminds me of myself, just older and with (unbelievably) more energy. I plan on hanging out with her on a regular basis once I get back to the bay area after the new year. The only thing I'm sad about is that I am planning on moving across the country in July/August in order to go to grad school. That means that everyone that I know here; everyone I've built a relationship with in the past year and a half is going to be left behind.
I feel that I don't really have the energy to try and put into really working hard at building friendships. Ones that will happen naturally and easily like this new one I will put in some effort, but I cannot really bring myself to commit to a friend who is not easy. On that note there is a person, who I thought I was well on my way to becoming good friends with that I probably will soon drop. We have been uneasy around each other since October. I think that my issues with her go further back. I was planning at the end of this past summer to move in with her when I came back from New York. Longish story short she flaked on me and I was homeless because of it. I had stopped looking for somewhere to live because she had said that we should live together. She now thinks that I am mad at her, and doesn't talk to me, because I "won't talk about it" though there really is no "it".
I've never really been super out going, and I have to admit these past 15 months have been hard on me.

Something low-key, nothing flashy. While the really public proposals are entertaining, they're not really me. I would rather it's just us, somewhere that meant something to us. It doesn't need to be anything fancy, just sweet and simple. ....And the more I don't expect it the better! :)
