Friends needed - apply within

If you know me by now, sometimes I can joke around and other times, I can be serious. Well, this is one of those "serious" moments. *rolling eyes are allowed

Married Boo has had two fabulous meetups with new friends she's met from blogging. She described her meetup in Las Vegas as "an experience that was hard to put into words but amazing!" She said, "I went without any expectations of bonding and meeting life long friends but by the first day, we were all crying over the thought of having to say good bye."
That's powerful!!!

That's what I want too. I want to have those types of friends. I mean, I have that here in blogland BUT most of you live in Timbuktu, miles and miles away, in other states and countries. What's a girl to do when all she needs is a few friends to hang out with? To keep in touch with? Laugh with? Cry with?

When I was still married, I lived in a town where I had friends to hang with. I met them through my daughters as they formed new friendships, through church, my job, at the grocery store...odd places but I had friends.

I'm now in another town where the majority of people living here are in their 80's. Nice but a bit too slow for me.

Here's what I'm looking for in a friend...

1. Must have a great sense of humor and handle my offbeat sense of humor too.
2. Must be willing to keep in touch...what are friends for when you can't be there for one another?
3. Must be willing to tell it like it is and hear it like it is.
4. Must be willing to see me without makeup and not go running for cover.
5. Must be real- honest, truthful, no Jane Does
6. I don't want a threesome..Boo and I are happy as we are, just us two.
7. Lives somewhere close enough to hang out from time to time.

So, if you meet those qualification and you want to be my friend....please drop me an email.

May I please be your friend? I know I come without a lot of free time due to the large amount of baggage I bring to the table, but you know, if you need me, I am there. I am always free to have dinner with you. ALWAYS!!!

I live far, far away, but I'm always ready to share an email or comments. Thanks for being my bloggy friend.

I hear what you're sayin'.
Sure wish I lived closer cause I especially loved the part about "seeing you without make-up and not running for cover" LOL I'd love to be able to share that with someone too. I LOVE my Bloggy friends but it is nice to connect with a Friend who "has skin on" occasionally.

Good luck!!

Kimmy @ kimmythingy said...

I'll apply!! I'm a damn good friend, if I do say so myself, and I can personally promise that threesomes are off-limits!

Deal?

Deidra said...

Oh, you are far away! If I lived closer I would certainly apply. I hear what you're saying about friends. Good ones are hard to find. You can count on me, though, for a comment or two, and a smile in cyber-space.

Friends are one of the best things we do for ourselves! I happen to think you are pretty great!
I think I love too far to do lunch,though!

I miss your comments! I'm "back" from retirement!

Anonymous said...

Ah I wish I lived closer!!!!!

travel girl said...

We live close enough, within an hour!
I have to admit that even though I'm a loyal friend, I'm terrible at keeping in contact.

My BFF forgives me and loves me still.

Cinder Rail'lee said...

Umm..errrr...HULLO?! I live MAYBE 2 hours away! Once my mom comes I may just invite ya to lunch!

DID YOU FORGET ABOUT ME!? *sniffle.

and we'll skip the make-up that day and both run for cover LOL.

Buckeroomama said...

If I live any closer, I would dearly love to do lunch with you. :)

Sometimes the world is just too big... and sometimes not big enough.

Lin said...

How close are you to Weirdville?? If you are far away, then you'll have to settle for bloggy friends--okay?? :)

Veronica Lee said...

I sooo wanna be your friend despite the thousands of miles between us.
I'm a Taurus and Taurus people make very loyal friends!!!

Diva Ma @ Mommy Fabulous said...

Okay, I would certainly apply, but as many of my friends will tell you, I'm not the best of friend these days. I don't answer my phone. Takes away from my blogging! LOL!

Justine said...

Well crap, I think I have all of those qualifications but one. I live in FL, and I have no clue where you live!

Justine :o )

I live in Southern California. Yes, it's a big place. Even those that are in Southern California can be very spread apart. So, as much as I would like to knock on Sandi's door and borrow a cup of sugar or head over to Tami's for a walk in the wilderness, it's not just down the street.

I cherish you all as friends, I do. What I was trying to say is I would love to be able to experience that same commaraderie, often...knowing that I can holler and or be there for someone else too.

I wish we lived in the same town...cause I would love that kind of friend too.
