Cause You've Got to Have Friends

On this lovely Friday afternoon I find myself exhausted and looking forward to the relaxing weekend ahead, but only after I clean the apartment. When I'm tired, though, I tend to get a little emotional and as I was putting away one of my tiny juice glasses I thought to myself that I love the fact that P- always drinks from a tiny juice glass when he visits, water no ice. Then I thought it might be nice to do a little dedication to my friends. You always read that every women needs friends that fit certain niches in their lives, so here's my version of that. . .

S- We are super supportive of each other, even if we don't talk as much as we should. I felt terrible when I found out a secret she had kept from me for about four years. I smoked my first cigarette with her, I had my first alcoholic drink with her, and we'll always have our road trip where we both spun off the road in hail and then had to fix a windshield wiper in the pouring rain with seems speeding past

S1- The person I always like to bounce ideas off of both work related and personal. She was my orientation leader in college but we only started to really know each other once we started working together.

S2- We were roommates for a year so when we have our weekly AI time I know it doesn't matter if the apartment is clean or not because she knows how I live and I know how she lives. She's my silly stuff friend, since we usually talk about AI or all the other random things that I wouldn't be able to talk about with anyone else.

T- The other day she said something at work in the same manner that I sometimes say things and I wondered who picked it up from whom. We never see each other outside of work, but since she was upset that I waited two weeks to tell her about D- and I breaking up I think that should put her in the friend category with. . .

L- This afternoon I was thinking about how T-, L-, and I all have a very sarcastic way of dealing with one another. L- brings me work I tell her to get off my back, which is actually what I tell T- too. Sometimes I worry that they think I'm really mean, but I know that's just how we interact with each other.

JB- My smoke break partner, she talks and I listen. Or we talk about the cats or the state of men these days.

J- Another work friend who was really helpful and supportive when my father died. She lost her father when she was in high school and is a year younger than me. We spent one afternoon trying to remember how to make the teacup from a loop of string.

P- We already know my appreciation of his juice glass use. We talk about everything, and I think that I would probably tell him anything, which leads to some interesting conversations.

Back to cleaning now, but I'll leave you with some new links (I've been forgetting to do that lately)
