Friends

Basketball till freaking 3 AM in the morning, shooting even when the lights have completely turned off and only we are there.  Laughter echoing through the dead silent of night, as we talk about God knows what, and to be honest, it doesn’t even matter.  Late night pillow talk till we fall asleep (oh freak we are such yuj’s) pretty much everything (and by that of course I MEAN GIRLS!).  Realizing how pathetic it is that we are all getting old and still none of us…have…anyone.  Oh man.  At least we have each other!

Slumber parties, even at the age of twenty four (did I forget to mention in my other post that we’re all pathetic?).  Giggling grown men, harrassing each other and touching each others boobies in the most non-sexual way possible.  (chyea right).  Corona with a lime, just because I said I like it.  Screaming at the top of our lungs as Kobe smashes down a thunderous dunk over an unsuspecting defender.  More giggling as man boobs are being touched, and the infamous “nooooooo” echoing coyly from a…gorilla?  Praying together till the butt-crack of dawn…okay, mostly falling asleep while trying to pray together till the butt-crack of dawn.  Spontaneous worship, just because we can. 

Late night trips to norms, even though I’m the only one that freaking gains any weight from it you bastards.  Two perfect six packs and one nice pot belly.  5″10″, 5′10″, 5′6″.  Fudge.  Maybe if I hang around you guys long enough I’ll get taller.  Oh please, God!

Random email confessions of love, and i quote “i kno this is kind of random and kind of…gay…but i just wanted to take the time to tell you guys that i really appreciate you two.  you guys are really emotional/spiritual pillars in my life and i don’t know what i would do without your guys’ continual support, love, and companionship.”

Carrying each others burdens.  Praying for each other when everyone else probably forgets to.  Learning from each other, and teaching each other all the fine points of life like how to drink an irish car bomb.  Buying tickets to future Laker games cause OMG ARE THEY FREAKING AWESOME THIS YEAR.  Sleeping till 2 PM because we are ridiculous.

Friends.  Real, real friends.  And sometimes a little bit more than friends, too.
