I have the nuttiest friends in the world. Okay, perhaps a little less nutty than I, but nutty nonetheless. It's remarkable we all found each other. We make the perfect, most peculiar bunch you'll ever see!
There's me, the loud, quirky, curly head that isn't afraid to try anything once and can whine with the best of 'em. Like earlier today when I couldn't find my black necklace. THAT'S drama. I'm also known as the smartest of the group, but I think that depends on the day. Maybe I'm intelligent, but I definitely don't live up to my full potential ;) OR I could just be a fantastic manipulator. Like the Pretender! Seriously, I'm great at playing roles.
Then there's Lou. She's got the most incredible laugh of all laughs. How many people can say they wheeze?! It immediately makes everyone around her burst out laughing. And she's got enough wit to boot. I hate fighting with her. It's like the comeback challenge. I swear she spends nights writing down things to say about me the next time we fight. Okay, so maybe school isn't her forte, but damn if she isn't good at memorizing every single clothing piece someone wears or random movie lines!
Sami. She and I are so alike that it's scary. Same sarcastic sense of humor, same hatred for our jobs, which happen to be the same. Okay, so she's married to Tim, who happens to be awesome in his own right, and definitely had red hair, but I think she and I are soulmates. We both love shopping and we both happen to binge eat when supposed to be dieting. Sad day.
It's pretty sad but I don't much allow other people into the closest circle of friends around me. There've been people in my past that have been part of it, but no longer... the daughter of my Godchild... the one who I haven't spoken to in a year and a half...lots of random people that were at one point an integral part of my soul, of my support system, and are now... strangers to me.
It just goes to show that life never stays the same. In a few years, I'll have new friends, a new life, but I'll cherish every second I spend with these ladies.
Then there's my family, whom I'm caught up with in the eternal battle of debate. I love my parents, but they just don't seem like other parents. My roommate's parents cook for her, hang out with her. I get the occasional call from my father and my mother really wants me to have sex. Yowza. Kelsey and I have grown closer, but definitely hold different views on God. Ashton is so much like me that she annoys me. We're both loud, confident, easygoing, manipulative, conversational people. She just happens to be all pretty! Justin and I relate well on the basic levels. I'm his older sister and he looks up to me. I've been playing the maternal role for him for 12 years. He digs it.
I've learned not to be ashamed of my family or wish for something more. Hi, I'm Whitney and my parents are atheists. Yes, it's a huge part of our relationship, but it isn't all there is. I still love my parents. They're just unique. Just like me. Different. But at least I can be happy with different :D
