But honestly, it's better here than it was in Reno or Eugene. I think people just aren't terribly accustomed to making friends outside the sphere of school (and I know that going back to school has increased my friends base exponentially). I think Colleen had an interesting commentary on iPods last week, <a href="http://seattle.metblogs.com/archives/2005/10/what_is_seattle.phtml" rel="nofollow">wondering what people are listening to</a>. For me, it engenders more interest in people, not less... It's sort of like a book - you know it's there, you might get a snippet of it, but it gives you a tiny glimpse into someone's life. What kind of iPod do they have? What does it say about them? Do they even have an iPod, or just the headphones? Mmm, mystery. Definitely true for me – I have very few close friends.
