This guy I recently met asked me if I had any friends. For his usual tactless ways, he manged to put it fairly non-offensively.

The annoying bit was that I could'nt think of how to answer his question. I mean, there are people I meet often. I drink with them, or watch a movie. But, there's hardlly any talk that takes place. And then, there are people I meet just so I can talk to them. Although I hardly ever do anything that could qualify as a social activity with the second bunch.

This strange dichotamy that has set in disturbed me for about three seconds, before I decided to pretend I hadn't heard what he said.
