Daily? Who said that?

I meant to make a post last night about the various differences in the groups of people I spend various amounts of time with, albeit that some of more favourite groups tend to have less time spent with that it would be true in a perfect world.

Last night was D&D night, in which I associate with somewhat normal people (yes D&D gamers = normal in my world...) where topics of conversation revolve around babies and marriages and real life applicable topics, like how National is screwing the public for a quick fix.... or at least that is my view point, theirs is more about how wonderfully Mr Key is running a fine ship... It is one of the few sets of people I have such conversations with, even at work I tend to avoid discussions about marriage and babies and such like, because (like with my family) these things tend to fall back into when I will enter into such lifestyle constructs, which are topics I prefer to avoid. The D&D crew also ask these questions, however I can tell them to fuck off, and poor another drink. It is a little harder to do this to your boss, the CEO of the company or one's mother. Not impossible (given I do follow that procedure on occasion,) but harder none the less.

The whole concept, or at least when I was thinking about it last night on the drive home, does bring into contrast my normal group of friends, those I don't hang with as much as I should and are hardly normal in any sense of the word or by anyone's (including our own) definition of the word "normal." There abnormal is common place, and hilarity and hijinks are sure to follow, though less so in more recent times, given my less than perfect attendance record. My more normal and grown-up worlds of D&D, Work and Home do make me miss such hijinks in some ways, and none of us are probably grown up enough to be out of such 'childish' antics.

That said next year I will be back at Uni with any luck, albeit on the company's time, which should help with some opportunity for some Hijinks, depending on which of the fellow hijinkers will still be at uni completing their respective desires, 1 at least will be finished I am guessing? Unless she decides to do more post grad, and she possibly is a masochist, and the other... he probably will still be there, mostly because he will have nothing better to do... and the others can be dragged in from their work places.... or at least those close enough to be dragged...

That said we will be in our 30's... maybe one day we will realise this...
