The Problem

 

Ok, here's the problem. Clearly, my friends are da bom. And I love them and miss them and I LOVE visiting them. But this is the thing: most of my great memories of my friends are not "occasion" related. They are "just some weirdo shit that happened or some funny thing you said when we were hanging out one time" related. So my problem is, while I love to visit you for a few days, it just isn't enough. As you can see from my lists below, my friends crack me up. But most of these thing aren't the kind of thing you make plans to get together and do. Who says "hey, why don't you come up to Bellingham and watch Bob Ross at my house this weekend?" and you don't say "Ok, I'll be over to pick you up and then we'll drive around making animal noises at the top of our lungs." These things happen spontaneously because you're just hanging out. And I'm getting pretty fed up with not being able to hang out with the cool people I love. Seriously.

So, what are we going to do about it?

My Friends Rock and Here's Why (aka Another Top 5 List)

 

Top Five Favorite Memories of:

Stennie

1. The time she'd just washed her car and then it was pooped on 1/2 an hour later by about 8000 birds all at once. She was SO MAD!!!
2. Soylent green is people. It's PEOPLE!!!!
3. The time we went fishing in Maryhill and she lost her favorite lure, broke her rod, got horribly sunburned, and then almost fell into the fire. Well I like to die!
4. Her tucking me in at night with a story from the Thurber Carnival, and bringing me coffee in the morning
5. Writing our play together


Jellybean
1. The Lesson (baby, you rocked)
2. 30 years of birthday parties - I still miss the little paper cups with peanuts in them!
3. Taking our dates to Burger King for junior prom
4. Making up our own words to Bugsy Malone (You're such a swine!)
5. Planning to be old ladies together.


Flipsycab

1. Indoor skydiving in Vegas. We were frickin' hilarious, I don't care what anyone else thought!
2. Celebrity sighting at the bakery
3. Watching her tell a passing driver to FUCK OFF!!! as we walked back to our hotel
4. The whole entire visit when she came up for the Shonz wedding
5. Breaking up as friends and then being able to grow up and come back together, better than ever!

Monday Manners

 

From the chapter "In Dress and Personal Habits"

Don't be over-familiar. Don't strike your friends on the back, nudge them in the side, or give other physical manifestation of your pleasure. Don't indulge in these familiarities, or submit to them from others.

Ya hear that? No more hugs around here. No love of any kind. That's the LAST thing I want from my friends. Sheesh!
