I Miss my Friends

I am not really the type of girl that has many girlfriends. It isn't really a conscious thing. It's just that I never really got along too well with them. I got picked on A LOT in elementary school and at my high school in Quebec by girls. I never had the little possy of girls that I grew up with and we were all best of friends like Now and Then or the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. Actually, the girls in school decided every few months to form the "Against Debbie Club". That was fun, for them. So I started to hang out with guys instead because I found that they were more forgiving of the little things. They don't compete with you on every little thing. It was better.
Then when I moved out to Victoria 3 years ago I started to meet some really cool girls. Awesome girls and really good friends. (This is where the title fits in) It hasn't failed though, that just when I meet girls that I really get along with and that we have things in common...Bam. They move away. All of them. It never fails. And it sucks. I feel like I am somehow cursed to not have good girlfriends. Now don't get me wrong, I am not looking for them and believe me, it is still for the mostpart easier to hang out with guys...But I'd like to make a friend and put the time and effort into a friendship that isn't just going to have to turn into a long distance thing as soon as it gets to the comfortable stage. When you know that if asked for their opinion, it wont just be nice, it will be the truth.
Friend = ami (guy) amie (girl)
Nectarine = nectarine...hahaha
Duck = canard
For Mike:
Lloyd Christmas: I'm talkin' about a place where the beer flows like wine, where the women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talkin' about Aspen.
Harry Dunne: I don't know Lloyd, the French are assholes.

Hey Deb. I feel the same way about girlfriends. The ones I have I really treasure, but they are far away and I haven't managed to make the same connections here. Having competitive sisters and being on the border of the social circle in school leaves a bit of distrust.

I love you and I know that it's kind like the guy thing -- when it's time it happens and until then you have other less cool people like me and your mom to talk to. I'm sorry, that was unfair. Francine is way cool. :)

No way Shan. You are way cool. Any awesome Mom automatically gets into the way cool category by default; however, you make it in just as yourself. The awesome Mom part is Bonus. Thank you for being cool.

(I used the ; just for you!)

I'm as anonymous as Emily's mother....
Deb, when I read your profile, I thought about whether or not it described you, and not to denigrate your writing skills, it's really flat...it doesn't say anything about how sweet you are, or how you can make anyone laugh; it doesn't say you're an awesome and creative crtaftsperson or that you're warmhearted and sort of cuddly in a bony way. And it doesn't have any pictures of this supposedly amazing haircut. What are we to do with you? You move (electronically) in the best circle of friends I can imagine: Carole and Chunyee and Francine, and of course, my Emily, the most awesome, amazing and challenging of youngest children. That's got to mean something about your ability to instill love and loyalty. Your loving and loyal, but incredibly sappy, friend, Lorna
