My friends are amazing, each one is important to me weather they are online friends or RL friends. It doesn’t matter if I’ve known them for a short period of time or most of my life. If I consider someone my friend, they are important to me. Because I have issues with most people and I don’t think most people notice those issues or can deal with them enough to tolorate me.
At the same time I realize that my friends are not perfect and neither am I. We don’t always feel the same way about issues. But the thing is, I think the true sign of a friend is when you can see where you dissagree with each other and understand that we are HUMANS, and not perfect clones of the next person. We all have our own opinions and thoughts. If we can debate our opinions without hate, thats a healthy friendship that helps both sides grow. But if one or both sides don’t debate and instead argue, all it does is hurt the friendship of not only those two people but everyone else connected to the two people.
A healthy debate with a friend requires just as much listening as talking. It does not include insults or hate, complaining is out of the question as well. You have to be able to see the other side of the debate, you don’t have to understand it but you need to see it. You can NEVER dig your feet into the ground at the start and refuse to look at a topic at a different angle. Even if a friend insisted that you sky was purple with yellow polka dots, you don’t be a stubborn and rude person by insulting the person, demanding them to change the way they think and saying that they are wrong in every way. If you are really someones friend, you have to have the compacity to listen.
A person has every right to say how they feel about an issue or subject. But if you feel important enough to state your position, you better be ready to hear every other position under the sun, even if it’s from a friend. If you can’t handle that other people think differently, they maybe you should have stayed silent because with out the ability to handle other positions really you’re just looking to start drama and an argument. And remember, handling other positions doesn’t mean you have to agree with them, but you have to DEAL WITH IT.
My friends are all very, VERY different people. With different belifs in… everything. We share some common interests which brought us all together as friends but we are still our own people. Sometimes what my friends say I don’t agree with, sometimes I’m completly agenst it, sometimes I agree, and sometimes I’m just so confused I don’t understand how a friend could say that thing when it seems to contradict something else. It’s complicated but hey, thats the way the world works. Thats how people work.
Just because I don’t agree with everything my friends do or say doesn’t mean I’m going to start being rude to them, throwing insults and saying ‘you’re wrong and here are 50 reasons why’. NO. THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS. If I’m really troubled by it, yes I might talk to them, get their side of things. There are times where I understand, others I don’t. Sometimes I realize I completly misread what was said and others where it just helps myself become more solid on my side, not theirs.
They are still my friends, I’d still beat the crap out of anyone who dared to hurt them. Ya, I might get mad at them, I might not want to deal with them for a while cause they drive my so crazy, but thats the way a friendship works. Heck thats the way a family works.
When you have your friends for long enough they are like a family, they are there for you when you need them. Friends are the family you choose, not those you are born to, which mattering on the people can make the ties you share closer then blood family.
But to be a healthy family, you need to accept everyone is different. Everyone is their own person and they choose what they do, know and belive. Trying to force your way on another doesn’t do any good. Trying to argue about things doesn’t do any good. Holding onto hate doesn’t do any good.
So I’m watching Puella Magi Madoka Magica with Aali… and her reactions are amazing. Of course I’ve seen every episode by now and I know how weird it gets. But by episode 4 she keeps questioning what all the maddness is.
It’s great. It’s making my night.
Hey everyone, hope you all had a fun christmas/holiday/whatever you do this time of year. I know I enjoyed mine for the most part. I got LoZ: Skyward Sword, which is SO MUCH FUN! Finished the first temple, the first boss was a pain to fight. Just not use to the controls yet I guess. I got Suburband Knights on DVD from Wolf which is EPIC! Also got Harry Potter, POTC and Green Lantern movies. So yes, very good christmas.
I also lucked out cause a couple days later I was at Walmart and they were selling the complete serise of Firefly for 10 bucks! It was too big of a bargan to pass up so now I finally have Firefly.
On boxing day I got to hand out with Skitz and Wolf, also saw Confusedquark, Drystan and Kholdstare. Would have been nice to see Aali too (and give her her present) but she was busy and smart enough to the hell hole known as my home town. So a note to Aali, I need to give you your present sooner or later! Aka we need to give eachother our gives before June this year.
Also, I got that Holter ECG done… bah that thing was annoying and now I have to wait for a few weeks for the results. So as of right now no more doctor appointments even if I have to get that scan and appointment with the neurologist in the new year.
Sometimes things just aren’t meant for adults…
Oh Aali, such fail. XD But it was so funny!
blemmaa:
… Cool boys and their friends![]()
… Cool girls and their friends![]()
… You and your friends
Yes. XD This is very true.

A lot of my friends who come and visit and possibly stay for the night don’t watch a lot of TV. The TV is always on at my place even just for background noise. Aali? She likes coming to my place cause she is introduced to new shows. She has already said she LOVES Parking Wars and its the best show ever. And she is downloading the first episode of Breakout Kings. XP I’m glad I can influence my freinds even if I don’t see some of them often.
Alright… Sorry for the rant earlyer… Feel a little better. Times like this I’m glad to have friends that don’t go to bed until super late and are able to talk to. And relate too.
Even though I’m not feeling great still… I’ve stopped crying after about an hour of doing nothing but that.
So this is just a quick note to Karu before I follow her lead and head off to bed. *tired now*
Thank you. A lot.
