Dime a dozen

            I just read this article called: WHY YOU SHOULD CELEBRATE YOUR FRIENDIVERSARY! I posted it on my Twitter and Facebook already but I am going to go ahead and post it with this blog too. So click on the big bold letters above and read the article. Now as you have probably noticed there is a trend to this blog and the trend goes something like this: I read or watch something, then I post my insanely insightful thoughts about it on here, my blog. Yall pretty much have a running commentary of what is going through my head at all times of the day, so you are welcome J! So this particular post is going to be about the lingering questions I have from this article and also my feeling after reading it.

            Okay my first lingering question is: How do these girls know like the exact date they became friends? If they don’t are they just picking a random date or are they trying to be realistic about the time they met? If you asked me where I met most of my friends I would draw a blank or come up with a story so greatly interwoven that you would have no choice but to believe me. If you are going to lie at least make sure that it is elaborate enough to be believed but not too elaborate that others can see through the lie. Secondly, the article mentions how people brought them gifts, so do you really get gifts or is that sarcasm? And if you do get gifts, do you have to share them or is there like a gift for each of you? I don’t want some gift I have to share. I want a gift of my own. That’s why I won’t get married. I do not want to have to share anything with my stupid husband (okay that is a little harsh, I would totally share with him, maybe). So friends, when we do have this party: I GET FIRST DIBS ON PRESENTS! And are their Friendiversary cards? If not, can I call dibs on contacting Hallmark first about the idea?

           Okay so this brings me to my take away thoughts. I think the idea of a Friendiversary is amazing. I mean if you are a 90s girl like myself and if you are anything like me you grew up listening to the Spice Girls. In the Spice Girls greatest song of all time they sang the lyrics, “Make it last forever, Friendship never ends.” I mean if the Spice Girls sang about it, then it has to be true! I mean the Spice Girls are pure geniuses, like everyone knows that! Okay back to my point, remember your friends. They will always be the ones there for you. I know that it may seem like all I talk about is friendship, and that’s a lie! I am at that age where I am figuring out what really matters. The age where I should be thinking about settling down and meeting someone and doing all those grown up things like getting married. When my husband/boyfriend is driving me crazy, they will be the ones I turn to for a venting session. I think in this day and age sometimes it is hard to remember friends should be like your family. And sometimes your friends are like your spouse. I mean they know all the gross and crazy things about you that a potential partner might never be able to understand.

           It is so easy nowadays to just send your friend a short text bailing on them and they always understand. It is so easy to just lose touch and not try to actually speak to each other. To think because you are reading their tweets, you know what is going on in their lives. I know how easy it is to push your friends aside because they will always understand. I have done it. I admit it. I have been the bad guy who has something else pop up and bailed on my friends but I knew they would understand. I love the idea of being able to put everything else that is going on in my life aside and just celebrating being friends To put the worries of jobs and boys and money aside for one night to celebrate your ladies! Its good to remind your friends that you do care about them, without having to be the emotional sap that says it out loud. So kudos to you ladies for coming up with or stealing the idea from wherever you got it from! I want to be your friend simply so I can enjoy the party. SO in closing I want to thank my friends simply for being you and let you know that my calendar is pretty wide open nowadays so just let me know when our pretend anniversary is and we will have a GIANT party. Complete with wine and cake!  And if you are really special to me I will get us shirts made with our faces on it! And don’t forget to thank your friends today and you can also thank me for reminding you to thank them! And remember friends are a dime a dozen!

PS: I have no idea what that means, the whole dime a dozen thing, so could someone explain it to me?
