Thoughts
These are in no particular order, but they've been floating around my head for weeks and weeks, so I thought I'd shove them down here, for future reference! :o)

--Friendship isn't a seriously, frowningly serious thing, but it's one of the most important things you can ever have, as well as the most enduring.
--So it deserves to be taken seriously. Ditto friends.
--You can't make new friends unless you get to know people.
--And you can't get to know people unless you spend time with them.
--New friendships deserve time and attention, so that there is no difficulty with relaxing with each other.
--People who cancel social arrangements often don't realise that this gives a bad impression of their regard for the other person.
--Even if they do realise it, they rarely say anything which puts the other person's mind at rest.
--An important part of friendship is to care, and to show that you care, not just to say it.
--In a way which is strange but true, your actions are more important than your words when you're making new friends.
--And sometimes, a lack of words can be the same as a slap in the face.
--To pay a little compliment which you mean is always better than saying nothing because you don't want to pay a bigger compliment.
--Most gay people in Belfast, but not all of them!!, usually make very little effort to show they care about new friendships.
--Mostly, it's not their fault.

But it still upsets me and pisses me off. :'o(
