Her response was simply, "I don't. Plus, You're the only one who will make PLANS!"
So, people! What is the deal! What is so wrong with making plans???? I consider myself to be fairly spontaneous and free spirited. But I don't mind making plans. I accept that I am strange breed. I can be chaotic yet love planners, and the idea of organization. I also like to see people. I like to make time for people and for myself. So I make plans.
That way when too many things come up I can say "oh I can't I have plans. But. let's do something tomorrow or this weekend."
Most people I know have jobs... very few of them have 9-5 jobs so planning is integral in maintaining those relationships. Yes, I used the "R" word. Im ok with it.
So how do people do it? The people that are never making plans? How do they have relationships that are consistent and worthwhile if they are not making plans? Are they just sitting around waiting for some to call so they can pounce on the phone and say, "Oh, me? I'm not doing anything... just hanging... sure I can XYZ..."
Should I be more like that? I am to a degree but there is comfort in knowing that on Tuesday I will be going to the movies with Caitlin so I have to have my work done and can't play Wii with Timmy... or whatever.
I have a friend who i very much enjoy spending time with but he never likes to make plans. We have very different schedules. For a long time we operated on a day by day, case by case basis. Fine. But that is exhausting. Who knows maybe I am not at all free moving. Which is why I want plans.
I don't think I am asking for much. Just something to look forward too.
