The difference in my situation is I spent 4 years down at the art school with those guys(it's pretty much a sausage party). The comic shop I visit every friday for the last I dunno... 4-5 years or so, so I've built up relationships there as well. Hell it took about a year at the comic shop before I got invited to a "Game night" for DnD, fighter games, and generally getting plastered on every other Friday. XD So yeah...
Mmyeah, the people I went to school with from 3rd grade onwards for 6 years have more or less gone their own ways, alcohol and girls to put it in short so I decided to scrap that. The only person I actively keep in touch with is my friend from grades 1-2, visit him every month or so and stay there for a weekend usually.
