Friends are good to have

Had my usual pre-Christmas gathering with E. E and I have been friends for a year and half. We get along well. In a sort of very Scandinavian way. He's a chiller. Someone who is very successful in his professional life but incredibly grounded. And a hard core burning man goer. I always hear good stories from him, and I liked the stories.

We used to see each other lunch once a week, but as work has gotten busy and he's less accessible. But he's probably one of my most prolific friends out there.We have so much mutual understanding it's hard to imagine why in another life we would not have become partners. On the other hand, I think he understands that I have a family, and I understand he has his life and we sort of live our lives like Scandinavians. We are both reserved and emotionally closed off. But we tend to have a good time whenever we go out.

E likes to go dancing late in the evenings on his own. He's quite secure that way. He is one of the smartest guys I know and he's suave. I liked that about him. His middle name is the same as A's middle name and is the same B's first name which makes me wonder if universe tends to send a specific type to me but then again if I knew the real answer would I be happy with it?

We had a good time to catch up. We chatted about our upcoming trips. He's not going out of town but I was. We usually try to do something before New Year but we would have to see. It's always fun to meet up with E because he's one of the best person to chill with. I didn't have to be someone else. We talked about music, politics and books he's been reading. A would probably never be like E. A may be one day be like B. I couldn't imagine that though somehow. I did tell E about this annoying person who's been calling me. I couldn't deal with emotional intimacy on a day to day basis. I found that was perhaps the most painful thing to deal with, to talk about feelings. E knew that. We always just talk about surface like things. But they are fine. They are majority part of our life anyway. I sure hope E and I will continue to be friends. He's the most grounding force in my life.

I like friends.
