This Is A Call To All
Hit me with your best shot.
Choose fifteen (15) LJ friends at random and write a little blurb to them. The catch is, don't tell anyone which number is about them! Guess which number is you, then paste this into your own journal :)
1) I appreciate all your advice and your sense of humor. It's always nice to have an outside ear to listen (or would that be an outside eye to read, since it's LJ?).
2) Sometimes I think you get so caught up in your own little internal world, that even you don't know how to escape anymore. You're driving yourself into the ground, and there doesn't seem like there's anything I can do to help you. I'm sorry, but it's kind of irritating.
3) There was a time that I looked up to you above all others as a source of knowledge, expertise, coolness... everything. I still do look up to you a whole lot, but I feel like I've grown up a lot since then too. I still enjoy our conversations, even if they're few and far between. I'm glad we stay in touch.
4) Okay, so things got rocky between us, and part of it was my fault. I'm really trying to not think about it and just let sleeping dogs lie, but sometimes I still cringe when I see things that remind me of you. I hope things get better between us soon, because I kind of miss the way things used to be. You know where to find me.
5) Of all the people to get close to, I can't say I ever expected it to be you. We were more acquaintences than anything, yet these days you're the person I love to bitch to more than just about anyone. I'm trying to take advantage of these times now, because I know they're fleeting. Either way, it's been a blast and we are geniuses.
6) These days I feel like you are one of my best friends, and it's killing me that we have to spend so much time apart. Right now, I'm counting down the minutes until I get to talk to you again (44, in case you were wondering). We get each other in a way that I'm not really sure about. I don't know how things worked out the way they did, that somebody higher wanted us to meet, but it seems like we're living parallel lives to an extent. You're my brother from another mother. Physical distance does not always translate into closeness.
7) I get really frustrated with you sometimes, almost to the point of giving up hope. I know you're loyal, and I know you care about me a lot, but you have a shitty way of showing it sometimes. Yeah, it's not always your fault. We're not that far apart, distancewise or otherwise, but I feel like I'm struggling to stay close to you anymore. I miss you, and I'm kind of scared that I'll face the same fate very soon.
8) (You're lucky! 8 is my favorite number!) It's hard to find words to say to you, because I don't think any would do you justice. You're my partner-in-crime, so thoughtful and wise with your words. You said something about me last week when you were introducing me to someone new that was small and seemingly insignificant, but it made my heart swell to hear you say it. I guess it's the little things that make me happiest... but you know all about that, don't you? We're both very detail-oriented and neurotic. It's what makes us such great friends, I think.
9) It scares me that sometimes my seemingly infinite wisdom isn't always enough to make everything better. You are one of my favorite people on this planet, which is quite a distinction. But I have a feeling I'm pretty high in your ranks too. I miss you. I'm scared as hell without you near me, worried about the future, all that jazz. I seriously don't think there's anything I haven't told you. You know more dirt on me than just about anyone, and you don't let me forget it ;)
10) You and I kick it old school. We go way back, and at times it feels a bit like we've fallen out of touch, but every now and then we make some connection that throws us right back in. I like it, and I'm glad we're both so stubborn, because let's face it... if we were more apathetic, we probably wouldn't still be such good friends. I'm glad we make time for each other, even in the peripheries of our busy lives.
11) You march to the beat of your own drum, and I think that is one of the things that I find most refreshing about you. Yeah, you make some stupid decisions, but you're a hopeless romantic just like me, and you have this keen way of being able to read people that I don't think I could ever master. We've had our share of really close times, particularly awkward ones, and ridiculously frustrating ones... yet somehow we manage to even out. I like talking to you about my latest obsessions... or rather, my long-standing obsessions, your more recent ones.
12) You always make me laugh. Always. Hearing you laugh makes me laugh. It's contagious. I hate how we keep missing each other in passing though. I don't want our friendship to be a past-tense thing. Your name is currently written in red ink on the t-shirt I'm wearing. Oddly appropriate, I'd say. I'm not sure how to jump start and re-activate our bond, but I haven't given up on it yet.
13) When I needed motivation, you were more than willing to put your foot up my ass to keep me on track. Sometimes I forget how much you mean to me, but there's always something around that snaps me back to reality. I'm glad we had each other during some hard times. It's always easier to face the world when you're not alone. I've never felt alone when by your side.
14) I wish you weren't so damn stubborn. I think we'd be closer if you weren't; sometimes I don't think you let me in. I feel far away from you in some ways, but particularly close to you in others. Yeah, that's vague... but that's our friendship sometimes. We're a lot more alike than you give us credit for, actually. You're always there to keep me in line, though.
15) Your energy and enthusiasm seem boundless... though maybe it's just because we're still getting to know each other. I'm sure eventually you'll find something about me to get sick of, but I'm enjoying the early stage of the friendship right now :)
