On my way down to LR yesterday, I was thinking about friends. And I decided that I, without a doubt, have the best fucking friends in the entire world. Seriously. I am SO lucky to have this many people that I consider TRUE friends, not just people I hang out with, I mean people that love me unconditionally and whom I love. And they are all so different. And fucking SMART. I have some ridiculously smart friends. SO I thought I'd take a moment of pretending to study to write what I was thinking about. Some things about each person.
ala05 has been my best friend since I was 12 or 13. She is unfailingly loyal and supportive, no matter what crazy shit I am talking or doing. She manages to always be utterly true to herself which I admire. She's got a dry wit and a great, hidden, sarcasm. And she is sharp as a tack. I love her very much and I know that no matter that our lives are SO very different, she will always be my best friend and will always love me.
nick_drake I want to be her when I grow up. Desperately. She is so fucking cool. By far one of if not the coolest people I know. She'd laugh at that, but she IS. She has this way of calmly sitting, with her voice all soothing, and just BUSTING out with the funniest shit you've ever heard. She has this inner grace and dignity that I wish I had, I have neither. But she can go from being all lovely and calm to a Napolean Dynamite thing like THAT and it is so funny cause you never no when she's gonna bust out with something. And she's ludicrously smart. And she has nice clothes and pretty earrings and pretty hair. I just always feel like if I'm down, or need to be taken care of, I want MEG. Sarah V said it perfectly once when she said Meg could calmly sit and move mountains. And the best part is after she is done moving a mountain, she'll look at you with the same expression and say, "I do what I want, GOSH!"
miko_nokamisama heh heh heh. Never did I think it was possible to find someone who not only matched me in arrogance and bitchiness, but also surpass me. Thea and I ought to have hated each other, but our personalities mesh perfectly. We have the same bitchy, terrible sense of humour, and bring out the absolute worst in each other. But we have SO MUCH FUN doing it. We understand each other's arrogance perfectly. We will not bat an eye at the other's request for multiple picture's being taken so one's stomach looks suitably flat. We are brutally honest with each other because we know the other can handle it. We force each other to be more fabulous and to stay honest at all times. We are totally enamoured with each other. And she's hilarious, and embarassing and smart, smart, smart.
theotherpotter Thea and I are bitches. This is where AMP comes in. AMP is my nice friend. Now, all my friends are nice, but AMP is like our cheerleader. She is the noble-hearted true soul. She is loving, and does so freely with no cynicism. Which is refreshing as it means she gets beat down alot by the world but keeps on trying where the rest of us would close up. She has been my friend since we were little kids. She knows me unfortunately well, and accepts me. She was always a good roomate to me and took VERY VERY VERY good care of me throughout college. She wants more out of her life than is within easy reach and dreams freely, which takes guts.
schmuckgrl Is that the correct spelling of that handle? Whoops, anyway. NIK NAK. Ah, Niki. I love Niki. We are all slightly afraid of Niki but adore her. Niki is great because she LOOKS so sweet and harmless. She's so pretty and polite and southern, but DUDE. She can open a can of whoopass so fast it'd make your head spin. Niki is just hilarious because she seems so normal and can wear pretty shoes with pointy toes and has clothes that are not wrinkly and that match, unlike most everyone else I know. BUT, she is also a sort of a geek. She's a well dressed GEEK. Deep down. Also, she's just FUN. I miss you Niki.
fahrbot last but not at all least. Okay, you know those fics where Rayk and Fraser hook up, never discuss the relationship, but end up in what is obviously a commited relationship. Then one of them brings it up, and asks something like, "So, are we in a relationship?" and the other just sort of looks at them, and it is never spoken of again? ...........Sarah and I are like that, but without the sex. We just sort of...........ended up friends by chance, and then sort of ended up being really really close friends. We never discuss the fact that we are friends, we never discuss our relationship. But we both know it. The closest we come to direct affection is the offering of gifts on holidays or the sharing of geeky loves. However, our relationship IS actually much deeper than that, we just don't ever talk about it or bring it up. Ahaha......Sarah is fantastic. I just adore her. She knows this, even though I wouldn't actually tell her. I just love her to pieces. She's gorgeous, but doesn't use it, is a total geek, and embraces it. She is my Geek Guru. She has ushered me through all my geeky loves. She is responsible for most of all of it. She's a fucking genius and saturates herself and gives 200% in the things she is interested in. She's very very giving and sweet but in a sort of indirect way. She's fiercely protective of her friends, which is how she shows her affection. She is always there ready to kick some ass if needed. As long as she doesn't have to call them on the phone.
