ok i admit it....I AM USING ALL OF YOU
I know I have said this before...it may have been in one of those entries that you look at and go "nope....tooo many words....i'll skim"...but it definately has been said. People have attached such a negative connotation to the word "used". To "be used" is something that people grow very offensive of..something people feel hurt by..something that denotes your level of pride.
Well, I'll be the first to admit that I am using each and every one of you. We all use each other, and thats a fact. If I had no use for you, you wouldn't be in my life. We use each other for support, encouragement, entertainment, approval...we turn to each other for help in times of need, for a shoulder to lean ur tear-streamed face upon, and someone to listen to you bitch, complain, brag, plan, fantasize, sympathize, and even backstab.
Where would I be without
Linds, who will always be by my side...no matter what...even if you dont want her to :-P...she'll be the first to tell her honest opinion and the first to make you crack and smile and make you laugh so hard you can't stand up straight and you find yourself having to involuntarily bend over and slap your knees...or it may be in those wee hours of the morning, you can always rely on Linds to still make you laugh so hard that you find your abs feeling like you just put them through a workout and your lungs gasping for air. I can always rely on Linds to tell me if an outfit doesnt flatter me, I know she won't allow me to continue talking if an unsightly booger may be hanging from my nose, and there's no way that she would ignore the fact that I have leftover food smudged on my face.
Todd is my shnookumbabypumpkin face. He can always be turned to for a hug... he will always be there to offer back some terms of endearment or to have heart to hearts on my front steps, or on the swings, or any other time there is something to heart-to-heart about. He is the one who will constantly remind me that he lurves me...which is nice to be told every once in awhile. Todd is the probably the most caring...possibly the most sensitive...but he is always someone I feel I can call, he is always someone I feel I can depend on, he is someone that I know can never stay mad at me for long :-P, and he will always be that someone I will turn to when in need of a friend
Bobby is probably the most affectionate friend I have...I can always turn to him for endless bear hugs and plentiful kisses. He is there to enlighten me with unknown information and expose me to new things in life (aka the corrupter). I use Bobby for 2 reasons (not counting hook-ups of any kind)...he is playful and childlike at times which makes you just wanna laugh right along with his own little dolphin giggle and then he is also serious and all-knowing at times...he knows when to step up and be responsible, but he also knows when to kick back and relax and not let the trivial worries of the world affect him.
Tam is the one I can always rely on to have a big bright cheery smile brimming with endless optimism. Good moods rub off which makes having Tam around that much better. Even when there is drama, Tam is not quick to butt her nose in it and she is usually the last to be called a complainer. With Tamreh I could carry on a conversation for hours and usually find a lot of stuff in which we both can relate to. Tam is my "party buddy" because she is always up for having a good time and she is always someone that I could feel comfortable taking to any party. Her friendliness extends beyond her close friends which makes her one of the first people I call when wanting to bring a friend to new places. Tam is there to carpool to Nora's with, grab a coffee with (or from), and to work out with from time to time.
Alicia is the good girl-next-door gone bad. She is still good-hearted and very caring, but she isn't afraid to take risks...cept when it comes to taking shots, then she must prepare herself by the sink :-P.... Alicia can be counted on to answer a phone call and I never have to worry about having her call back. She is always up for a good time, always looking for something to do (not much comes up tho). She entertains with the stories of her crazy dreams and she provides us with rides with her pimpmobile (aka the big red van). She is my friend to "shop" with, to talk with, to complain with, to sit around and do nothing with, ), to go to the gym with, and to dance with (for some reason we always end up finding the guys at clubs that have us grind with each other)
Jimmy is a good listener. I know that whatever it is I have to talk about, complain about, joke about, or say anything about..he will listen. He's the kind of friend who will be there throughout (even when q-tips betray you). I truly believe he has a good-heart and cares very much about his friends. He would do anything to protect them and stick up for them (even fight some random guy that is in the military). He is always up for a party and can always be expected to show up. I know that if I ever need him he is only a phone call away (or IM). We can carry on completely ridiculous and meaningless conversations, but he never fails to make me laugh with his wittiness and random comments. He makes a good sox buddy too :)
Jess is my quirky cartwheeling stereotypical blonde friend. She is the smartest most insightful stereotypical blonde I know and she is also the skinniest fat diseased girl I know. We could go on for hours about the injustices of the disease we share that makes ice cream forbidden and working out an obligation. It's nice to have that someone who understands what you are going through and can relate rather than criticize. I find Jess's random insightfulness to be inspiring. She provides me with new ways to view situations and inspires me with her cool calm collectiveness she has when it comes to dealing with dramatic situations. Jess is there to carpool, to chat with, to workout with, and to angrily stomp away with when there is an overdramatic explosion of arguments in the cafetaria and we need to huff around the school hallways to blow off some steam.
Steve is one of the ones that are the hardest to read and the hardest to get through to, which makes getting to know him that much more interesting. There is always something new to learn and I have found him to be smarter than I ever gave him credit for. He's the bud I can lay out on the dock with in the middle of the night and gaze up into the stars and talk about the wonders of space and life and everything in between. Steve is not a complainer, which never fails to amaze me. When you don't want to be burdened with drama Steve is good to have around. Steve will always be there to offer a helping hand... he wont hesitate to rugdoctor my stained carpet after a party or to take the leaking bags of empties away from my house
Tan is my loud attention-craving dance-crazy friend. I don't think I could ever describe her as boring or anything close to it. She has a devious aura to her that makes you wanna get away with crazy unforgettable spontaneous things (empty house). She is always able to carry on a conversation and is the first person I would think to call during a sox or pats game. She is the co-creator of anti-planning and with our crazy methods and superstition I do believe the sox were able to win the world series (thats right..it was all cuz of us and our long nights spent on the phone). She is also my dictionary and thesaurus (if ever the need arises to look up a word)...and she is the one I'll turn to to sing out loudly with me when fallout boy's "where is your boy tonight" comes on.
and then there's
Drago, who could be said I use in many different ways, but when it comes down to it, my true use for him is to make me smile and laugh in that full-bellied obnoxious giggle laugh I have. Drag is by far my most f*ed up friend...always the one to think of something so ridiculous and far-fetched that you can't help but laugh at his stupidity. He will be the one dancing around like a fool, making up his own jingles and songs, and laughing his own HEHEHAHAHOHO that makes you in turn laugh even harder. He is the most unreliable, the most difficult to figure out, the least likely to be able to turn to in a time of need....but there is always one thing you can depend on with Drago...he will always make you laugh. Even when I find myself angry beyond justification, he always finds a way to make it seem like there is absolutely nothing to be mad about and soon we'll be talking and joking like there was no drama to begin with. He is undoubtedly fun to have around..or interesting to say the least. He has provided me with a variety of memories (good and bad) that I wont forget.
I'll leave it at that. There are more people I could add to the list, but I think I will end this entry because it's getting a little too long and wordy.
