Friends...

Recently while playing on facebook, I looked down and realized I had 126 friends... I dont even think I really know 126 people, let alone be friends with them. I see some people have 878 friends... I bet they couldnt borrow five bucks off of half of them. What is a friend. Remember the old adage: to have a friend, you must be a friend. Well my friendship well only draws so deep. I know people I am friendly with. I know people I am not so friendly with. I have met some strangers and then again, I have just met strange people. Friend, that word, is it a noun? a verb? an adjective? Friend. I think have 3 friends. They know almost everything about me and still decide to call me friend. I think I am very fortunate to have these 3 friends. And I hope they feel the same way about me because I would hate to start interviewing for a new friend at this period in my life. And yes, making a new friend is like a job interview. You take in account the person's character, countenance and capabilities and see if they mesh with your own. A friend is someone who shares your secrets and laughs at your stories and sits with you in your sorrrows. A friend is someone who wont sleep with your husband, and wont cheat you out of your half of the lottery winnings. Even when you are wrong, a friend will say you are right. A friend answers your call at 2am because they know you must be in trouble or in pain and they know you need them. A friend helps you move in, out or over. A friend in need is a pain in the ass but you still help them because they are your friend---indeed.
Note to Self: Hey, self, how about being friends with yourself, like yourself, protect yourself, trust yourself, be kind to yourself. Be your own role model and your own best friend.
