Miscellaneous Halloween thread

[LSPoorEeyorick]

It's not easy to be on the outside looking in, but the reality of the matter is that our houses have limited space, and if someone is not inviting me (and yes, as with most of us, it has happened a fair bit) it is probably a matter of not being as close to that person as others are. Inevitably, the guests that a host invites are the people who the host knows best. In my experience, it's not as much an issue of 'popularity' as it is about personal connections. Friendship doesn't happen like magic. There are a lot of things that go into it - time, energy, patience, flexibility... They say relationships take work, and friendship-relationships are no different.

So, JWBear, I haven't talked to you much outside of the board, but I do really enjoy your posts and I'd be happy to have you join me at any gatherings we host or outings we take. I've posted some of them here on the board, and you've never joined me, so I've assumed you didn't care to. But I will be sure to extend a direct invite next time!
