Not much going on here. I have been thinking about the difference between friends and acquaintances but I haven't gotten anything real concrete worked out in my head. I do know I think the word friend is used too loosely to apply to people who are known to you, but aren't otherwise easily classified as co-worker, or family, or whatnot. I know lots of people I am not friends with, and they aren't really friends of friends. They are just acquaintances. When does somebody cross the line, how do you know when someone is a friend vs acquaintance? I know who I consider friends.... I don't know exactly when they made the switch or how. I think it has to do with how much they know about me, and how they react to it.
