making friends: UPDATE

i asked out a girl last night after my "restoring your heart" group. she's not in my group, but works at the church and i have been internet friends with her for a long time, but just recently "fell" for her last year when she referenced the "top that" rap from teen witch, and was generally hilarious and perfect for me in lots of ways.

but i never pulled the trigger despite the fact that she is awesome and local and has had a husband and kids for practically identical time spans as me because i thought i was full up on friends. and then last week i realized that i actually dont have any. funtimes for the self esteem!

so i asked this girl out. it was weird and nerdy as hell. plus she's taller in real life than she is on the internet, and i come from a land where height is power (volleyland). but she said yes! so we are going to be in real life friends now.

it was even more encouraging when i got home and saw what i looked like in the mirror. this martian death flu has ravaged me and i looked like a mid-morphed zombie. so i KNOW she didnt say yes just because i'm foxy. what a relief.

i am hoping that she doesnt read this and think that all the pressure is on her to be my entire girl community. obviously it IS, but i just hope she doesnt read it and know that. hahaha, jokes. if it doesnt work out, we can just friend break-up....because that's always fun too.

wanna see if you and i would be compatible in real life? watch this and if you think it is priceless art, give me a call:

youre welcome!

  2. I know EXACTLY what you mean! I now live 800 miles from where I grew up, went to college, etc. So, all of my best friends live 800 miles away. :( Thank god for phone, email, facebook, etc. or I would be terrible lonely.

    Finding new friends as an adult is A LOT like dating. It takes a lot of effort because we all have jobs, kids, spouses, lives that make making time for an unknown person hectic. I'm happy to say that I *think* my patience and dedication to certain relationships might be paying off. After living here almost 3 years, I think I'm finally developing real friends, not just friendly acquaintances.

    Good luck to you and yours!

  3. I think my favorite part is, and always will be, the midriff showing tank top with the rolled jeans and Hawaiian shirt. Classy!

  5. love, love, love that movie!! Your post definitely made me smile, because I've noticed my "friends" have been disappearing lately too...hmmm..strange how that happens sometimes. Maybe I also need to take that first step forward with a few ladies I know.

  6. That is hilarious! I think you will be great friends! Making new friends is harder the older we get, but I met one of my best friends about 2 years ago when I thought I would never have another friend like my college girls. It takes putting yourself out there, but it is worth it! I am sure you are a great friend to have. And as much as I will always treasure childhood and college friends, nothing beats a friend right where you are!

  11. I was mad at JB a few weeks ago because Teen Witch was on and he watched it WITHOUT ME. I am so behind this criteria.

  12. YOU DID NOT PUT TOP THAT ON YOUR BLOG!!! That was my all time favorite movie- to make fun of- and me and my bestie would rap that sucker all the time. Oh, this made my day!

    ps- I came over here to your blog because of the hilarious comment you left on Heather's blog about couches being the panties of furniture. So glad it wasn't a fluke!

  13. I am right where you are at. It is hard to make friends as an adult...especially being married and having kids. I hope your new found friendship blossoms and I look forward to updates :)

  14. Um...it's a shame I don't live in your community because I reference the "Top That" rap ALL THE TIME! Most people just look at me weird when I start singing it. Teen Witch is one of my FAVES.
