Friends
I was thinking today about my three favorite girlfriends. Actually I was wondering why a 47-year-old would refer to her women friends as girlfriends, when I realized I could categorize my friends. There is my Wise Friend, my Party Friend and my Stupid Friend. Then I started thinking that I am probably my Wise Friend's Stupid Friend and my Stupid Friend's Wise Friend and it made me wonder if my Stupid Friend has a Stupid Friend where she is the wise one? And does my Stupid Friend's Stupid Friend have a Stupid Friend? I'd hate to be on the bottom of that heirarchy. Now I wonder if my Wise Friend has a Wise Friend where she is the Stupid Friend? Probably not, but you never know.

Party Friend probably never thinks such thoughts. (One always needs a party friend just for that reason.)
LOL - do you know what's really sick? I think of these kind of things myself. Scary, isn't it?
VioletSky,
~~Au Contraire! I am my Party Friend's Wise Friend and I know who her Party Friend and Stupid Friend are.
Scarlet,
~~Great minds think alike.
Gee, You certainly must be the most clever and unique girlfriend of all your friends! I'm glad you're my clever and unique girlfriend. I for one need to be called a girl by my friends now that I'm almost (gulp) 50. Well...almost is a relative term considering I have a looong 11 months to go, but who's counting? Not me!
P.S. I like to look at it from the Breakfast Club's point of view:
We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was that we did wrong. What we did WAS wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write this essay telling you who we think we are. What do you care? You see us as you want to see us...in the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. You see us as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal. Correct? That's the way we saw each other at seven o'clock this morning. We were brainwashed.
But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain...and an athlete...and a basket case...a princess...and a criminal... Does that answer your question?
Sincerely yours,
The Breakfast Club
Me, I like to think I'm all things to all people
Carole,
~~You are very wise.
Xup,
~~What about people that like stuffed animals? ;)
I've wondered at what point do I call people "woman", "girl" or "lady".
Like my friend at work, I refer to her as the "girl at work". The office manager, however, I refer to as the "lady" and if someone who I don't really know I refer to as "the woman".
I think age factors into it, too. Kind of weird.
HA HA! Did you see that? I have a "work friend" and I have a "party friend" but she can also be a "wise friend" as long as she's not partying. Heh. Then I have my "neighbor friend"... but I don't think I have a friend who is solely a "wise friend." Nor do I have a "stupid friend"... hmmm. Maybe I need to work on that.
Gee, you are very wise too! I've been called wise on occasion but it is usually followed up with another word. hee hee hee
Your mind is a truly wondrous place.
Jammie,
~~I can be your stupid friend.
Carole,
~~heh heh
Jazz,
~~It's a curious place to live for sure.
I have no idea what I am to my friends, hopefully something good, well actually must be something good they're still around. But I had my share of "fair weather friends", these I don't really want around anyway.
