On Friendship...
· Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity. Kahlil Gibran In a recent discussion at lunch, Shooters and Slattery and I discussed friendships. The concensus was the quality will rule over quantity every time. Perhaps because true friendships take work, patience and love, that many will opt out of quality. Maybe some don't have the time and others just cannot be intimate. This makes me sad for them. When the chips are down, who else is gonna eat them with you and say you're still the greatest chick in the world? Or, when you do fuck up, tell you it's ok and joke about your "idiot girl" syndrom?? I will take my few over the masses and plug as much energy into those relationships as I can! I know that I am truly grateful for the few, but INCREDIBLE friendships I do have.

there are people on myspace.com and other such sites with hundreds of so-called friends. i can see adding aquaintences on there, but hundreds? come on. ya'll aren't kiddin me!
and my sentiments parallel yours. i have always had acquaintances, but i cherish the few quality people i have known in my life.
as it really should be!!!
just read my profile! it says it all! i'm in total agreement... quality is far superior to quantity, especially in the friend department! god has blessed me with the most incredible friend on the planet... opps! another hallmark moment there!
