One of Life's Lessons?

It's January 2nd, 2008. I've been whining about my life being so lonely and quiet for more years than I care to remember. This morning I got a note on my My Space page from some guy. He wants to be frineds. Do I? Part of me says yes and another part says no, I don't need the hassle. But don't I owe it to myself to see what might happen? ANd if I do, what do I say? I can't help but wonder if this could be an omen of some sort. Or is it asking for trouble? This could turn out to be one of Life's Lessons.
