Friendships

The other night I was writing out Christmas cards and thinking about the various friends as I was writing them out. Throughout the years I met people became friends with them, lost some friends along the way and grew closer to others. Becky Conway is the one I've known the longest, but not the one I'm closest to. Donya, I've known the shortest, but it's like we've been friends forever. I don't know at what point things shifted and she became the best friend instead of Amanda. Amanda is the one that has a weird sense of humor like I do. Whenever we're together we laugh and have fun. She can brighten my outlook.

Jeremy, you're one of the ones that I can talk to about anything and just have really random conversations with. Heather, well she only calls when she has a problem. Kristopher, he's cousin but I still see him as a friend, he's always there when I need to talk and vise versa. Justin....ah Justin means the most to me because he actually saved my life. We won't go into details, but he helped through...basically Hell.

Matt L. is another that I can talk to about anything, and I really miss him since he moved to North Carolina. Gerret, haha Gerret, is the fun one that can make anything sexual like Joey on Friends. I adore Gerret, we can talk for hours and understand each other.

I like the fact that I only have a few good friends and even fewer close friends. That way only a little bit of people know who I truly am and what it's like to be me. I don't there is anyone that fully knows me yet, but there are some that are on the way.

I appreciate all my friends and love them dearly. I don't know what I would do without some of them. To me, friendships are God's gift to us. He gives us people who will make living this life a little more bearable. Love you all.

Gossip

There is one person in my life that all she does is gossip. Nothing is sacred to this woman, some of you may know who I am talking about. She'll start talking to me under the guise of wanting to be friendly with me, only to begin asking questions about my best friend's relationship. Does she really think I will talk about my best friend? Or that I wouldn't tell her?

I had already told this person that I don't appreciate her asking my friends questions about me, i guess she thinks it's ok then to ask me about my friends. She also asks the stupidest of questions..like in reference to me going to teach...

"what subject"
"well I have an English degree, so...."
"Are you thinking Math then..."

How do you respond to something like that without laughing in that person's face?? It's almost like she wasn't paying any attention to what I was saying in the first place. Although that day she didn't ask any questions relating to my friends or my personal life...maybe she's learning not to "pump" me for information.

Song of the Moment: "Archatype" :Idenity X
" Fire Burns
So do your eyes
You hear me scream; I hear your cries
Lets take this landslide you call life
Make it a dream before it dies"
