Friends

I think that its amazing how many thousands of people you meet in your lifetime, and how many people you call "friends". But when you sit down and really think about them, are they really your friend? I have heard people say that when you are going through hard times in life, that's when you find out who your true friends are. I have to say, I disagree. I think its when your going through good times. Now I know, for the occasional lottery winner, my theory would not apply. But, really, it seems that a lot of "friends" are more happy when your life is crappy -- its really hard for some people to be excited for you when things are going well -- its unbelievable to me! I think I can count the people that I trust, that are really happy and supportive of me when times are good, that I am not related to, with just my 10 little fingers, and still have some fingers left over!

So here are some things that you should know about me, my "quirks",

I talk way to much

I talk way to loud

I talk way to fast

I eat way to much junk food

I have some strange OCD habits

I come up with some strange plans/ideas

I swear a lot

I have and love tattoo's

I usually wear clothes that are way to big for me

I don't like coats, jackets, turtlenecks, itchy sweaters, socks, or spandex (lol)

I don't like to wear my hair down

I don't sleep at night

I don't like the morning hours AT ALL

I am VERY sensitive when it comes to just about anything, but I would much rather have you say it to my face then to think I am stupid and can't see/hear you when your talking about me

I have no prejudice's when it comes to race, sex, religion, etc -- and I don't handle comments from those who do very well

I like to think I am pretty smart -- but I don't want to be a "know it all"

I hate it when guys make assumptions about girls -- especially when it comes to sports knowledge or strength

I am a homebody that likes to stay inside -- I don't dig camping, hiking, bugs, extreme heat, extreme cold, sweating, walking..

I like things that are "outside the norm" and being slightly adventurous

I LOVE my family

I LOVE my husband, who is way to good for me

I have a pretty damn good memory



So, there you have it. Some good, some bad, and I am sure there are some things I have missed. There is no one that is perfect, and there is no one that can say that don't have a friend/family member/spouse that is perfect. We all can point out little quirks that the people we love have and may annoy us -- it's what makes us all unique. But if you really don't like me, and you can't deal with my "quirks", then don't pretend you do. I would rather have 10 Fabulous friends then 100 shitty ones.

Mich, I love you quirks and all! And your right, your real friend will support you in good times and bad. I hope you know you can count on me. Your a great person who will do anything for someone you care about. Unnfortunaly that has meant that some people (undeserving of your friendship) have taken advantage of you. I know you have learned that the hard way. So what if the amount of good friends is countable on fingers. I think I could probably say the same. As we get older and more mature our friends change. And we have to start selecting who is really going to be there for us to help move the dead body should we accidently shoot somebody...LOL just kidding, but you get my point.
