Friends

[Madeline]

What type of friends do you have and what do they say about you?

Most of my friends were left behind in California, but I do have a few nice acquaintances here. Those I knew in my home state were very unlike me, which I find interesting! I had a friend who always carried at least three different kinds of lip gloss with her. She wore a different purse every day and modeled for several magazines. I thought I would never be close to her but we ended up being good friends. We still talk to each other via e-mail. She has been such a wonderful friend to me...on my birthday and on holidays she always sends me gifts that brighten up my day. Many times I get them when I am sad or depressed.

I have some pictures of me with my friends. I used to dress a little Goth but now I love to wear pretty, vibrant colors and flowing fabric. My neighbor in his Misfits shirt, baggy pants and black, long-banged hair looks so funny next to me in my bright blue beaded tunic/shirt with wistful bell-sleeves in a light fabric. Ha-ha! It's funny just thinking about it. Even when we were both Goth we weren't really. We both laughed too much (I didn't laugh at all for a long time, but towards the end of my depression I started to smile more. My friend, on the other hand...if boyish grins were against the law he would be imprisoned within the first few seconds)!

I also had some friends nicknamed Sano and Jakk. Jakk also was into wearing heavy eyeliner, happy bunny shirts and an insane amount of
bracelets. Later I found out that she was hiding the scars from cutting...I hope that all is well with her now.

What my friends say about me...

I like variety. Different personalities and stories fascinate me. Even though some people may think that I am anti-social, I love people. I just don't express it as easily. It takes a long time for me to consider someone my friend. That title is an honor and something to be earned, not flippantly given to anyone I come across.

I do have friends but they are not realy friends........I am basicly a loner....that justs walks arownd in my own world. I can't make friends easly.......So I just walk arownd doing my own thing.

Y do you have to be a loner? But I can understand but rember fellowship is important for spiritual growth. I have a lot of friends but never ahd a best friend yet. GUess I never opened up to others taht much really. People say a lot about me and often they find me different because of my Faith. In my school after I transferred 3 years ago, people thought I was too religious and very different. They said I was too "good". BUt now they say I'm trying to be mature to early, taht I'm missing all teh fun in my youth. BUt they just don't understand all taht God has done for me. i've changed a lot since the day I fully realized His purpose for me. They can't see teh world thru my eyes. Here so far I've made friends with LeaChan4ever and c_hunter is my close friend and classmate. Ask them if you want to know more about me. Or pM me or I'll just check this thread out again.

I have 4 friends who have been there for me when I had need. When I had no food they fed me. When I was depressed they were there for me. I try to be there for them when they need someone. I make sure to tell them how much I appreciate them. They all live in California still. I live in Washington now. We IM each other and make phone calls. I have no friends where I am right now. It's very hard for me to make friends. I can be a little to hyper and get on peoples nerves. Also I don't like parties and drinking and stuff like that. I like bookstores though.

Thats exactly how I feel =) Only I could make friends if i had the desire to. I have just never met anyone whom I have really felt like being close friends to.

Oh, California... That's wonderful Kaze. Friends like that are a treasure and something you only find once in a lifetime.

Aww, Syaoran. It won't last forever. I'm also lonely very often, but then I remember the blessings that God has given me. I belong nowhere here on Earth, but I do belong to Him. That is what gives me joy and hope. ^_^

Hugs to all of you and thank you for your responses.

I have about 3 people I can really "true friends."

Two are them are identical twins. I met my bestfriend in 5th grade, and my twin met the other in his 5th grade class. What are the odds, huh? Although the one I've known first is my best best friend, his brother is also a true friend too.
Personality wise, we are different. I'm a anime watching jock who doesn't like to goto parties or drink. My friend on the other hand is much more social then I am, he goes to parties, drinks occasionally and hates anime. But we can talk and anything and just hang out. He understand me and I understand him. He's one of those people you can trust your life to. No matter the case, I can always depend on him, through and throgh. Minor differences, but not too bad.

My other friend I've known since 4th grade. Now, I'm not too sure anymore. We used to be really close, but now, not really. He's obsessed with anime and gaming. Not that they are bad, but he runs his whole life according to it. I'll ask if he wants to hang out, and he always has an excuses like, "I don't know.... Well.... I don't feel good right now so I don't think I'll be able to hang out next friday." Or, "I dunno, I gotta work tomorrow." Then I ask what time, and it's like at 5pm. That's more then 30 hrs away. Enough said. He beats around the bush instead of being upfront; all the while I hear him talking to himself while playing games or yelling at his brother on what to do. He makes excuses just to play games. But he always finds time to hang out with his other "gaming buddies." That really offends me. He seems to only want to hang when I have a new anime that he wants to see. As of now, it seems althought that the friendship is fading quickly. Though occasionally, we do hang out and talk. But it's just not the same anymore.

Online, I have a know a few people that I can call good friends.

I'm pretty lucky I made some good friends. It took me a very long time to find them. =)

[faithfighter]

as for friends...there are some...

but as for best friends,
I have 2 from my youth group, one is a total inspiration to me. she has had a terrrible hard life...but doesn't see the bad...she keeps her chin up and looks only at the good. at 1st I would never have known how hard she had it. but she is strong, and I spent a week with her at Creation, and now she is 1 of my closest friends. all that she has delt with and still smiles...it really amazes me.
~
another I have known since I was 6, she and I grow apart...then we she got cancer we grew back together. she is really strong and made it through it and again she is a real inspiration.
~
I have a few other close friends, and a few not so close friends...
and soem are here on the baord.

it really amazes me how God answers prayers...cause last yr I was so lonley and praying despreitly for soem one to come into my life that I could call a friend...God answered my prayers..but not untill after I realized that I could make it with out a friend...that God was all I needed...after I foudn this..he answered. God is good!

My friends are not all the same or even like me all that much. I can't just hang out with one type of person; I like being around all different types of people. My best friend is very funny and she is just all-around fun to hang out with, though she can be very sarcastic and sometimes cynical, which balances out because I'm usually optimistic and easygoing. Some of my friends are more... well, party people, while I also have a lot of very studious friends. I'm not much of a partier or a studious person myself; I just sort of go with the flow XD I try not to work too hard when I don't have to.

[Danyasaur]

hm, well I have two really close friends that I love to death online that I met on CAA *Felix and Insanitywitapencil* Felix is really wity and fun loving *I love wity people* and witapencil's. . . well. . . hm. . . hyper would be the word I guess XD; and can be scarey in a funny violence sorta way lol

in real life though I don't curently have anyone I'd consider a true friend, there's one girl at my church that talks to me, but I only see her at church, and she's really girlie so that kinda' scares me XD;;; *not that I have anything against girlie girls <.<;;. . . no. . . please. . . not the fan girl chainsaws! no!. . . gyaaa!*

and at the youth I go to *I go to a differant church for youth because we only have like. . . 4 teenagers in our church and no youth pastor, so yeah* I have cool aquiantances, and since I play drums for them I get to hang out with the band, but still nothing I could call a real friend.

and all my child hood friends don't really care much anymore.

I do have two good friends that I had to leave up in Missouri, but we haven't kept touch and one of them moved.

so yep. . . I'm relying on the internet for my social life XD but God's allways blessed me by when I lose friends *I'd really like not to lose friends but sadly it happens alot in life*, whether it be online or offline ect. He's allways placed another person in my path, so over time I've met some really interesting people and had some really great friends, cuz' even if you do lose a friend or they drift away or whatever you really still allways love them. . . or is that just me? o.o; cuz' I still love every single one of my friends I've ever had ^_^;

[TurkishMonky]

My friends are either the crazy lets have fun do somthing random type or the crazy lets have fun do a LAN party until we have to go to work tomorrow type.
Well, they are also good friends that love God and are accepting and fun to do stuff with.

My friends would probably see me as the insanely geekish, weirdly into anime, but smart type.
