Friendship
Last night...or should I say this morning?...I was at a sleepover for one of my friend's birthday party. It was tons of fun. *thinks* Wha'd we do? ...Played 'Whose Line Is It Anyways?', did little Broadway musicals *^^;* ate cake, drank soda, played the sleeping bag game (which is where you put someone in a mummy sleeping bag, close the hole really tightly, and try to pick them up and lug them to another room), and basiclly vegged out. We even started a sisterhood between the six of us (all girls: Meghan, Liz, Diane, Lorenza, Monica, and me), sharing "deep dark secrets" *laughs*. I found out (to no surprise) that I speak my mind when I'm sometimes not supposed to. I also found out that one of my friends might wanna strangle me after a day together. Oh, and that I roll my eyes toomuch *rolls eyes*. STOP THAT! *sweatdrop*
My best friend Lorenza said she could spend two days with me, than throw me out on the street with nothing but a cardboard box. And I said the same thing to her.
The power went out at around 12:30. It was freaky, as how the sky in the northwest flashed green and blue (and supposidly red, but I didn't see that). We found out the next morning that the transformer at the electric place "blew up" (for lack of better words). Lorenza was grasping me and Monica's hands really tight, and wouldn't let go for about ten minutes, when we found out that everyone else in the subdivision had lost power. Which is when everybody got their own individual hug, and not because of a joke. We were all so relieved that the nuclear power plant way off somewhere hadn't exploded.
When I lied my head down for a minute, I started to cry. I was happy. I have never had friends like the ones I have now.
After that, Liz brought up the topic of: "You know, this may sounds weird to you guys, but some times I feel like a lesibian"...at which point, we burst out laughing, slamming each other into pillows because we had to be quiet. Here's how the coversation went:
*after Liz's subject line*
Me: I don't think you are, because it's being sexually attracted to them.
Liz: ...Phew. *laughs*
Me: But there's nothing wrong with loving a friend.
Monica: Yeah, I know. There's boyfriend-girlfriend love, friendship love, family love, and God love - but I'm not going to get into that. *giggles*
....At which point, I thought that, yeah, I do love my friends. I'm glad they even are my friends, and took the risk of befriending a jerk like me. *sigh* Yup...
Lorenz also told me that I had saved her, at which point I shot her a look like "What the hell are you talking about". She explained earlier about these two years she spent in a struggle between her parents, who were getting divorced, and everything else. She said that, before she met me, she was really quiet (which is very hard to believe) and didn't release her feelings much. But then she did meet me, and after seeing how I yell out my feelings, she became the loud and peaceful person you know today (if you do know her).
We wrapped up the night by huddling our sleeping bags together so we wouldn't get cold. No electricty means no heat. And it's pretty cold in a basement in northern Illinois in the middle of March past midnight. *heh*
Over and out,
