I'm an isthmus. I'm all about the connections while maintaining cool detachment.

Friendships aren't really give and take. You give what you give, and you get what you get. When you give a great deal without it being a ledger item, you generally get the same in return.

I think maybe the net has changed how people forge friendships. it used to be that I would meet people hiking on trails. Now it's got to be all about creating a group via Craig's List.

CL is great for getting a used sofa, but maybe not so for forming relationships.
