Friend request.

According to Gerald Mollenhorst, sociologist at the University of Utrech in the Netherlands, we renew half of our friends every 7 years.

The survey, conducted among 1007 people age 18 to 65, concluded that the size of one’s social network remains stable over time. So, if we lose sight of half of our close friends as time goes by, we meet as many new ones to replace the loss. And this fact does not appear to be a personal choice!!!

The study also finds that the constitution of one’s network depends mostly on the context and on the meeting place. To replace lost friends, we often recreate conditions which allowed us to meet friends in the first place.

Can we really only have 150 friends? I periodically edit my friends on facebook but I still have over 800 "facebook friends." Hmm.


Also, I really want to do the whole Improv everywhere/take your pants off on the subway/interpretive dance in grand central thing. Check out T-mobile's commercial.
