friends

this article talks about google's doodles - you all know how much i love the ones on the olympics that are changing daily.  hooray to willis for passing on this article to me!


on another topic entirely - friends: and let's be honest: i am the luckiest girl EVER to have a lot of friends in my life, people who are so important to my happiness and who care about my well being and who love me all the time, even when i am grumpy or fiesty.  so - yay for my friends.  every single day i am reminded of this.

[now, how do i write this post without making someone sad or left out?  impossible.  i will persevere anyway.  if you read this blog, i love you.  i hope that is enough.  i will call you out on another occasion.]

i'm realizing that while i love all my friends, some friends are the perfect companion for one kind of occasion and other friends are the perfect companion for another kind of occasion.  some examples:

if you want to drink a beer right after school and talk girl talk, willis and jenny are the perfect friends for that.  you just drive over to meehan's and boom: two hours of awesomeness.

if you want to listen to live music in a bar - whether that be a bad 80s cover band or irish music at limerick junction - claire #2 is your woman.

if your garbage disposal breaks - or your tivo is being weird - or you have any question involving your computer - or you are lost near piedmont park - you call thomas.  he can solve pretty much any and all problems of this nature.

if you want to be lame on a friday night and need someone to be lame with you, joey will totally go out to dinner with you and giggle with you and lie around in pajamas in the living room afterward with you and then you can go to bed at an old lady time.  which is so needed sometimes.

attention, attention!  new category that was only realized last night!  if you are going to hear music that is not necessarily your kind of music, at a bar that you've never been to, kind of late on a school night, and you want someone who will roll with the punches and come with you, do not pass go, do not collect $200, CALL ANDERSON AND DANI.  ohmygod we had such a good time last night seeing my cousin nate's band christopher the conquered (and dangerwoman and leslie and the lys).  i thought andy and dani would be the perfect companions, and i was not disappointed.  we planned dani's next birthday party (theme: bedazzled clothing), giggled with my cousin nate and his girlfriend/she'stotallymycousintoo kate, jumped around a little, and called it a night.  so. much. fun.

and i'm exhausted today.  old lady.  that is me.
