Good Point

Talk of new year's resolutions came up at dinner last night. One of my plans - to make five new friends this year - was met with both eye rolling and guffaws. Forsoothsayer nearly choked on her drink, but was still able to proclaim, "HOW?! You hate everyone!"

Touche. This may throw a serious wrench in my plan. I either need to radically scale down the number in question, drastically reduce my standards, or hide some current friends in a shed for a few months and then reintroduce them as newly acquired pals. Other suggestions welcome.
