Drawing Lines in the Sand
Within the category of friendships/relationships there is one thing that really annoys me. It's an impossible fantasy to believe that everyone can always get along with everyone else. Differences, whether large or small, force us into groups of those we get along with and those we do not. The lines between these groups can shift and change over time, but the lines are always there. Problem comes when you have someone like *yours truly* who can cross over just about any of those lines. It sucks to be close to several groups of people that don't get along with eachother at all. Sooner or later you have to pick sides and step on toes. Even if it is just for small and trivial things. The road where appeasing one friend means pissing off another is never a good place to be. It is a road I am well aquainted with.

Yea, I hear you on that one. I tend to be fairly flexible myself, and I tend to give people an infinite number of second chances, so I always run into the sitch where two people have some bad blood between them, but I'm friends with both. Makes planning get-togethers a task.
