With A Little Help From My Friends

Someone once told me that you are the sum of your 5 closest friends. Made me wonder about who my closest friends are. Also made me realize that I think I need new closest friends. No offense to the friends that I have... but I need to surround myself with people that I know are professional and stable. I need to surround myself with friends that have careers(or at least are working on it) and are living on their own and have goals and such. I need to be surrounded by friends that are going to help me become a better person instead of bringing me down or distracting me from MY goals. I have the disadvantage of not going to college and not growing up around here. I also don't have a career yet, so I can't just hang out with my co-workers either. And making friends usually takes some money. Which I don't have. I am not saying I don't want to hang out with the friends I have now. I still do. I wouldn't be where I am now without the friends that I have now. But I want to be around people that have their lives together. Mature people. Not people that go out all the time. Or drink almost every night. Or people that never socialize. Cause I am kind of over it all. I went out last night to Ames and it was fun... I met some new people. I drank a lot of beer. I danced a little. But it just kind of emphasized that I am over that whole I am going to start at one bar and then go to all these different bars sort of thing. I am more of the kind of person that picks one bar and stays there with a group of friends. No bar hopping or clubs for me. On the rare occasion I'll do it with friends for a special occasion but thats about it. But yea. I need new friends. Adding that to my list of things I want to change this year. Make new, professional friends. 

On another note. Pumped about going to see Quietdrive tonight :P
