Friends....

I don't know if I just have strange friends or what. But I have noticed that I am friends with people who I do have fun with, when they are around, or they are biggest flakers in the freaking world!!!! I find it annoying that I can text, call or message or email them. And I get no response, but if they were to contact me than I had better answer. So that makes me wonder...... Are these so called friends really friends at all, or are they people who are friendly when they feel that they have the time.

Here's my definition of a true friend (and yes I have 2 that fit this bill completely and I hope that I fit it for them too)

1. They return your messages and such. Maybe not right away, they do a life of their own, but they do return your message.
2. If you are upset, they can tell.... None of the "What?!" bullshit I seem to be getting lately.
3. You talk regularly, none of the silent treatment crap I am also getting from some people.

4. They back you up no matter what!!!

5. They accept you for who you are, including your quirks. (Mine crack up my best friends)

6. They know the type of person to set you up on a date with, even if you don't know your type.

7. They know you better then you know yourself.

And so on...

Basically they get you, they understand you, they would do just about anything for you. So is it so many people don't treat people the way they want to be treated... I don't get it. Is it really that crazy of me to want these kind of people in my life? Is it crazy to have a checklist of makes a great friend? I think not. If I had a choice, I would only have friends like the kind mentioned above.!
