tell me about your best friend(s)

[fizzgig]

what makes you love them?

me? i've got three people i consider *best* friends

j: we met the beginning of my sophomore year of high school. we were both so fucked up but she was my rock. everyone at school thought we were lesbians (we did nothing to dissuade the uptight asshats). then we had a falling out only teenage girls can have. oh boy it was nasty. fast forward seven years. i ran into her at a festival in town. we talked, got a beer later and the rest is history.

she is wicked smart, smoking hot and unbelievably compassionate. i would (and have) traveled across the ocean for her. we laugh at the same things (like futurama) and cry at the same things (like futurama). and she is always patient when i have a wardrobe freakout.

she lives in germany and i miss her so. she is the best of my best friends.

s: i met her through j. she is just as smart and hot as j. i love how she would do my hair and makeup when we'd go out. i love to watch this girl dance. in one word, she is a goddess, and it boosts my self esteem to just be around her.

she moved to germany to be with j. i miss her just as much.

a: she and i work together. she is as big a perv and just as strange as i am. we take perverse pleasure in freaking out our co-workers. this girl has seen my good, bad and ugly and still talks to me. she is the closest thing to an SO i've got right now.

and then there is eh. he and i are becoming fast friends. he makes me feel good about myself.

i'm missing my friends right now and just wanted to talk about them.

2. I only have two really 'close' friends

Jolie: I've know since I was about 7. We took dance classes together. At first I hated her and would torment her, like lock her in the closet. LoL. To this day she rags on me about that. She is tall and funny and I can tell her anything. We can not speak for months (just life gets in the way) and then pick up like we just chatted the day before. She lives in NH and got married last year to a great guy. I miss her. But we get together almost every time I go visit my folk in RI.

Tamara: I've known since about 10 or so. Another dancer. She lives in RI and we go out everytime I visit. She gives me advice and supports all my 'questionable' decisions. She has a 12 yr old daughter and is divorced (well sort of) and has a live-in boyfriend who is a blast to go out with. I'm also great friends with her sister Alyson. Tamara is the girl who threw the adult toy party I went to a bit ago! She is so much fun.

I need some local friends. *sigh*
