WOOT!!!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
I have the best fucking friends in the whole damn world!
Okay, so maybe I haven't used those exact words before... but it's true nonetheless. My friends are fucking fantastic. And would you like to know why this is so? Because they treat me better than I could ever even begin to deserve being treated.
Yeah, okay, we fight from time to time, and fall off the planet every now and then... But all friendships work that way, and they're all still too good to me.
Charlotte and Landon don't mind that I've owed them $160 for three months and probably won't be able to pay it back for another three months. Evan doesn't begrudge the fact that I almost never see him anymore. Shannon loves me so faithfully that I am humbled. Jackie supports all of my crazy, stupid ideas, even when both of us know they'll come to nothing. Beth sings showtunes with me and gives me safe harbor when I need it, no questions asked. Holly - the dear - lights up my world, and rearranges my shit so that my dreary little bedroom looks like a home. And Sho feeds me Flaming Amy's whenever I'm in town.
If these people don't deserve gold medals in the Friendship Olypics, I don't know who does.
And as if that weren't enough, Beth and Holly arranged a suprise party for my 25th birthday. They ran interference and misdirectd me for three weeks before my birthday. Beth distracted me in Selma for the day while Holly cooked yummy sweets and Jackie made salsa and directed traffic. Holly lifted phone numbers from my cell and secured party attendance from nearly 20 years worth of friends. Beth and Holly, and all my friends who came, called, and tried to be there, gave me the big 25th borthday brouhaha I'd been dreaming of.
I really do have the best friends ever.
How did I ever get so lucky?
