"Friend"

I have two. I feel very lucky we've stayed friends through ex's and long distances.

I have hundreds of friends...at least that's what facebook tells me

i have two. we've never buried bodies but one has lied to the cops for me (big time lie. do time kind of lie). i later bailed him out of jail in a completely unrelated matter. i've known them both since freshman year, so just about 15 years. we grew into adults together and didn't grow apart much as the years went on. we're lucky. good dudes. they know i grow. i'm not worried in the least.
if either one of us called the other to ask to come paint the house, do yardwork, help move, give a ride, even lend money, any one of us would be there in two seconds. i lent one dude 2500 bucks and he paid me back just fine. i don't know if it's because we're such swell people or because we've been through so much together, but we have genuine respect for one another and would never do anything fucked up to one another, ever, for any reason. that's friends.

I have one that truly fits that description! We've been thru it all... It's tuff for anyone to maintain a relationship like that withmore than one person, it just doesn't happen... Besides, we're talking 'take it to the grave' kind of secrets and do you really want that information in in a second head? One best friend is enough!
I'm some what of a loner, and if it wasn't for Brown Squirrel, I would have been on my own in alot of situations. And if he's ever gone, I will be alone, because it takes 20 years to aquire the trust and friendship that we have. We live 100 miles apart, talk about once a month or so, try to see each other at least once a year and we're still as close as if we lived next door to each other...

I have a few friends I've been close with for many years. But I have one friend I can't bullshit..that knows me inside and out. And she is the closest to me because I can't get over on her..or sugar coat anything. So she calls me out on whatever and will be the first person to tell me what I don't want to hear but need to. Its those kind of friends that I love around me. All my friends have the good/bad qualities. But don't we all. A true friend is a person that will accept you and all your choices..bad or good. I may not like what my friend is doing but its their life and as long as they are happy I will be supportive. HOWEVER, they have to accept that I will give my opinion because its just my nature. I am a counselor by profession sooo I can't help it lol

internet friend's are so much better than the ones in real life

man i must be so blessed as i have 3, my fiancee who has met me at my worst and pulled me out of some serious shit my best bud who lives with me and the missus, he is family and knows me better than she does. he was with me when all the shit started and was the only friend who survived what ended up being one crazy ride. all the others showed there true colors sooner or later. and my best bud from when i was young who despite the fact that he despised everything i ever did looked the other way remained in contact and would have dropped anything to come to my aid if i needed him as i did when he attempted suicide over some stupid moll.

I have cousins, and two friends I see about twice a year....my dogs are my best friends....pretty sad huh?...and still close to mom who is more like a friend, but we live far away from eachother....so, nope, no real friends.My Patients are slowly becoming my friends, and the guys at the local dispensaries,we burn together....but we don't hang out.

meh, to me a friend is just someone who you can talk to and who also actually listens and cares what you say. A good friend will help you out of a jam if they can, and they'll rarely if ever ditch you. Either way right now I don't have either lol, but it don't bug me, usually I do have friends like this and I stop talking to people who don't follow through with their promises on the regular.

A friend is someone:

You love
Loves you
You know eachother inside and out, or at least try to
You can tell your innermost feelings to
Would defend you if you needed it
Would tell you the truth if you need to hear it
Wants the best for you
Shares some of your interests
And shares their last cookie
Who understands your quirks
Someone who will be there with an open door and open arms
Is not quick to chide or judge
Is there at 3 am to console you
Comes to visit through wind, rain, or record-breaking snow
Someone who would like to see you happy at their own expense

I try to be that to every person who walks into my life

A friend is someone that comes home from a long day at work and upon finding you on their doorstep drunk after having downed 3/4's of a bottle of vodka in the last half hour and stinking like weed and makes you a cup of coffee while you're throwing up outside their door and just smiles about and cleans up around you while asking you what's wrong and lets you inside now smelling of vodka, weed and vomit to wash up in the bathroom of their small 2 bedroom apartment and doesn't make a fuss about it or bring it up later at all for any reason...
