vent: so tired
i'm so tired of not having female friends. i have 2 good friends. 1 just had a baby, the other one is getting married sunday. the one thats getting married is getting ready to move to Idaho. Its where her family lives. but its hard to not have friends when i need to do some retail therapy!
After high school i joined the military, and by the time i got home all my friends had moved on and done other things.
frankly i just feel sad for myself. I feel like such a loser sometimes.
okay vent over.
thanks. lol

What kinds of things do you like to do?
A good place to meet people is through volunteer work. Is there something you have a passion about? Kids? environment? political stuff? cancer? etc? Call up a non-profit and tell them you are interested in volunteering. Whether it's office work, working on a special event or working with the constituents, there's always something to do and you'll meet people that are interested in the same thing.
What about activities like hiking, running or skiing? Lots of groups & places to meet people. There are even flyfishing groups to participate in (just for women).
Another place to meet people is bars. I'm not kidding. If you see someone interesting to you, go up and compliment her (cute purse! etc -- just so long as it's genuine). Lots of people want to meet people but they don't know how. If you give them an opening and they talk back, you're in. Once you have a good conversation, ask for their email and email them. Invite them to a group happy hour or something with no huge commitment. Just like you would a date.
What are your interests? Passions? What kind of people are you looking to meet? What part of Pdx do you live in. I could probably give you more ideas or specifics with more information, if you're interested.
i've thought about volunteering at a animal shelter or something along those lines. but my only issue is the fact that i have limited time.
i go to school, work, and have military duties. i don't mean to sound whiny, cause i know i do.
lol, thanks.
i'm in Interior Design/ Architecture calsses and everyone is at least 5-10 years older then me.
its hard when you join the military then come home, cause all your friends are across the country. and all your old friends aren't what you remember/ don't want to remember. but you still feel the same.

i'm down! lol!
