Great to catch up with you too, W4J! Phew... I've been crazy with University and I'm driving quite a few hours to Wellington on Tuesday to spend the week there. Its been great, but I'm glad for a respite these holidays to catch up with things here. I love this place and the people here. Thanks for asking. ^^
Oh, ok - offline friends.
I'm going to strongly generalise things from my own experience but both my relationships with guy friends and girl friends have some subtle differences but are still enjoyable. I tend to sit and talk more with the latter, while when I'm with the former we usually go somewhere, for example. Just thought I'd note it.
Not that this is always the case, but just often. There are differences between my realtionships with friends of the same and opposite gender and its actually nice to have the variety.
