I honestly don't know how I did it. Could you imagine making plans at like 3pm and meeting someone at the theatre at 8pm and not talking in between. They'd just be expected to show up at the right time and place. Now my plans aren't concrete until I'm actually on my way, and even then it is debatable.

I remember me and my friends always had things that just kind of happened. Ie: Every Sunday afternoon, you knew that if you walked up to the school, there would be kids playing street hockey. There was no phone calls, or seeing how many people were interested or anything. You just knew that it was something that happened.

Or the one green area near my house. You would just go ring the doorbell of a couple of friends in the area, then the three or four of you would saunter over there, and you knew there would be other kids playing football or soccer or some sport, if it was early evening on a weekday.

...and for movies and things like that, it was as simple as "hey lets see this movie, friday at 7pm at such and such theatre"....."sure, see you there".

Now with cell phones every little thing we do is a hassle, trying to get people together and wondering if peoples plans will change.
