Oxymorons with friends
So me and my friend michelleapril were talking online about the expansive dating pool I dabble in minus the one... Female Best Friends. Now we all know that's like the unwritten no no place of dating cause heaven forbid you have a relationship break up and never talk again. I mean seriously could you imagine dating someone who actually listens, has been there for you through constant other heartbreaks, and knows you inside and out. Most absurd thing I've ever heard wouldn't you say?
I mean husbands and great boyfriends are constantly listed as "my confident, my greatest support, my best friend.." I guess when you place friendship and the relationship in reverse order it is against the order of the universe. I mean having someone to call day or night, hang out with, provides advice when needed, shoulder when times are rough, an extended circle of friends, and STILL be able to go and date whomever. Isn't that the job of the nurtured family pet? Ah yes the best of both worlds. Cause why would we ever want to risk losing that? We should all be able to have our cake and eat it too.
Perhaps I'm just more of a risk taker. The one who goes all in knowing full well I could lose the entire stack of chips for the opportunity for the jackpot. I wrote a post long before how for alot of people they're happy inside their bubbles and would never step outside of it. And while I think that's really great and wish I could have that, I've long since stepped out of that bubble into very far reaches and now require a very complex set of circumstances of extraordinary character to satisfy me. Again nothing wrong with the white picket fence, two and half cars, and a dog. But if you've kept up on my journal you'd know that I've never really been that person. I'm just a risk taker.

That's how I feel about life. But some of my best relationships have been with my best friends. But what do I know, I've been single for two years =) Ok time to shovel down some sweet tarts and a cappuccino. Oh yes it's that time!
