A long time friend in my offline world (over a decade) and at MySpace posted this: quote: Friends????? Think about this for a minute..... If I showed up on your door step crying, Would you care? If I called you and asked you to come pick me up because something happened, Would you come? If I needed a shoulder to cry on, Would you loan me yours? If I had one day to live my life, Would you be a part of it?..... Life is lonely without friends. It's World's Best Friend Week.... If you agree re-post Please

That is why you have to choose your freinds wisely. Some people just can't get it together and you know it going in. If you listen to your inner voice.IP: Logged |

Yeah my ex has some friends who took in a supposedly ex druggie couple off the street who had 2 kids 6 & 8 yrs old. They ended up kicking them back on the streets because one of them caught the wife stealing $300 out of her purse...messed up.Their intentions were good but people have their issues. IP: Logged |

Friendship ~ None of that Sissy stuff- Are you tired of those sissy 'friendship' poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship. You will see no cute little smiley faces on this ~ Just the stone cold truth of our great friendship. 1. When you are sad ~ I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry ******* who made you sad. 2. When you are blue ~ I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you. 3. When you smile ~ I will know you are thinking of something that I would probably want to be involved in. 4. When you are scared ~ I will rag on you about it every chance I get until you're NOT. 5. When you are worried ~ I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining. 6.. When you are confused ~ I will try to use only little words. 7.. When you are sick ~ Stay the hell away from me until you are well again.. I don't want whatever you have. 8. When you fall ~ I will laugh at your clumsy as$, but I'll help you up. 9. This is my oath .... I pledge it to the end. 'Why?' you may ask ~ because you are my friend.

cpn,Actually, that's not my reality. My friends aren't like that. If that's what you call a friend, I have to wonder about your enemies. It's easy to handle people roughly. It takes courage and heart to be tender. "Tough love" can turn the most beautiful people into bitter and cold machines. I think sometimes we get lost and confused, and we think that's the way to go, but, really, we've just been brought up without the necessary love and proper instruction. No, it's not all sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows. You have to tell the truth, -- but, the whole truth has more to do with understanding than with judgment. LEXX,
To have real friends you need to be a real friend. I think that's how it works. As a Scorpio, you probably understand that it's not possible to be a real friend to more than a few chosen people in your life. But, with your Aqua Moon, I'm sure you also see how many wonderful people there are, and how unfortunate it is that you can't possibly be a real friend to them all. IP: Logged |

Being loving and caring is "sissy"? You could have soooooooo much "fun" at my expense with especially numbers 4 to 8. Oh yeah, I'd be a barrel of laughs! I'd just be so fraking happy to be treated that way! Yippie! 1 & 3, also not my cup of tea. Do not know how to take 2.Warning! This is one of those "sissy" poems quote: Around The Corner By Charles Hanson TowneAround the corner I have a friend, In this great city that has no end, Yet the days go by and weeks rush on, And before I know it, a year is gone. And I never see my old friend's face, For life is a swift and terrible race, He knows I like him just as well, As in the days when I rang his bell. And he rang mine but we were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men. Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired of trying to make a name. "Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim Just to show that I'm thinking of him." But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And distance between us grows and grows. Around the corner, yet miles away, "Here's a telegram sir,"…. "Jim died today." And that's what we get, and deserve in the end: Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Valus quote: To have real friends you need to be a real friend. I think that's how it works.
It does indeed. quote: As a Scorpio, you probably understand that it's not possible to be a real friend to more than a few chosen people in your life.
Time and logistics do get in the way. And so many of my best close friends are long dead. quote: But, with your Aqua Moon, I'm sure you also see how many wonderful people there are, and how unfortunate it is that you can't possibly be a real friend to them all.
Oh for sure! Again, finding free time and logistics do indeed complicate things. So many many man wonderful folks, but so little time to devote to each and every one.------------------ Everyone is a teacher... Everyone is a student...

Whew! Glad to know that! Not my kind of humour, but thank you for clarifying that it was a joke! Sadly though, too many folks do think and act that way. ------------------ Everyone is a teacher... Everyone is a student... Learning is eternal. }><}}(*> .☆¨¯`♥ ¸.☆¨¯`♥ ¸.☆¨¯`♥ IP: Logged |

Thanks Cpn for the clarity.I was an alcohol abusing suicidal teen, so I'm like ultra-sensitive to #1. in particular. I will battle these demons my entire life. I only know I don't want to drag people down with me and I hope I can keep someone from such a fall. Dealing with such a situation at this very time...a beautiful young man, incredibly gifted, full of doubt, just taken to rehab and I can't help but feel his pain simply because I KNOW what's it's like.

well cpn is one of the best friends a person could have so i find myself wondering why it was so hard to see she was joking!! personally i avoid the nasty kind of friends and Friends by not inviting anyone in until i know them. on the social networks like myspace and fb that translates into small numbers and who cares? on the other hand in realspace i consider everyone my friend till they have proven otherwise...makes deciding how to behave considerably easier. i can just be me and if they don't like it, well there's plenty more where they come from...

mermaid26 I hope your friend can be helped. I have known of far too many deaths caused by such action as quote: 1. When you are sad ~ I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry ******* who made you sad.

I do not yet know her well enough to know when a thing is for sure a joke or not, and some "jokes" in the past, clearly meant as jokes, were not funny at all to me, but could be seen as hurtful/ridiculing to some folks. I must usually be told straight up if a thing is a joke or meant for humour. I have a difficult time understanding such humour, especially the kinds making fun of a person's bodily appearance, ages, race, abilities, disabilities, and so forth.------------------ Everyone is a teacher...

You are right Katatonic. I can be a little dense and blind at times. I even have quite a dark sense of humor. For instance, I like the movie "Barfly" with Mickey Rourke, especially when he says "drinks for all my friends." Very Aquarian, reminds me of my father and I have Venus in Aqua.IP: Logged |
