on Wednesdays!
YAY!!
So, this weeks Q&A is:
Friendship is the Theme
Answering these questions:
1. Do you make friends easily?
2. What 3 qualities are a MUST in a friendship?
3. What makes YOU a good friend?
4. Have you ever met a bloggy friend in real life?
5. Who is your best friend? Tell us about them.
K- so here I go!
1. Do you make friends easily?
Um, no, not really. In person, I'm terribly shy. Like really shy. I have a hard time coming up to new people and talking to them. I'm the chick that will stand around listening to conversations then actually talking. It takes me a long to time to warm up and say something.
But, once I do and we get to talking, and if by some miracle, they like me, you can't shut me up! I have a hard time moving from causal friendships to the real good solid ones. You know, the GNO's and the weekend away BFF's. I've NEVER been invited to a weekend away. And I hardly get invited to GNO's. Really, I'm the forgotten person.
2. What 3 qualities are a MUST in a friendship?
Honesty- I'm an honest person, and I will tell you what I am thinking. I would like the same.
Loyal- When I do make friends, I am very loyal. I love ya even when you hate me. LOL! I've held on to friendships that have long since died, because I am so loyal. I really would like to have a friend who would do that same.
Sense of humor- If you can make me laugh, I love ya already! Really, what is a good friendship without having some laughs?
3. What makes YOU a good friend?
See above! LOL! No, I think I'm a good friend because we all need that person that is gonna tell us the truth and help us through the hard times. I'm a great listener and will always try to help you see the "light at the end of the tunnel", or share my experiences with you to show you how I got through something. And make a fool of myself to cheer ya up! And, like I said above, I'm really a loyal person. I've got your back! No matter what!
4. Have you ever met a bloggy friend in real life?
Not yet. But I am hoping to meet up with Myya and MiMi this summer. We only live like an hour from each other!
And I would LOVE to met up with Amy from Involuntary Smiles! We have been chatting a lot and are like BFF's already! Great friends from a past life or something!
I'd also love to meet Amber. We have seemed to connect on a higher level or something. Seriously, a really sweet gal!
5. Who is your best friend? Tell us about them.
OK, so I really don't have a BFF girl friend. Really, I can't seem to keep my friends long enough to become BFF's. There are a few really good and close friends, but we just don't seem to have the BFF stuff going on. Ya know? The texting because of a bad day. The phone calls to just hang out. The planned and unplanned GNO's. Sleep overs. Just that person you can call no matter what. I don't have that.
LOL, in fact I apparently I rubbed one of the mentioned people on my 30 day blogs, the wrong way and have been blocked on FB now and all that. And I have NO clue what I did. Really, I don't. And sharing this is probably going to make it worse. But, I'm me. I keep it real. I share my feelings, no matter what. And to be honest, I'm hurt. Like really hurt. That this person couldn't just shoot me a text or an email or whatever to say hey, what you said here I didn't like and what's up with that? Is it too hard to ask for a little respect that way?
Anyway, I'm the sad lonely girl that has more "fair weather" friends and "church/Sunday" friends, then a really good friend. That one or two gals that just get you and would do anything for you. Yup, don't got that and never have. Woe is me.
UGH, sorry to be such a downer. Really, shouldn't do stuff like this.
ANYWAYS, the one person that I can go to for anything is my hubby. If he can put up with my crap for so long and still wan to do naughty things to me and let me get by with a dirty house and still misses me like crazy after he shuts the door to go to work, or on the way to the airport, that's my BFF. With benefits!
***EDIT***
So after posting this, I thought about all the friendships I've made through this blog. You gals are amazing! You know who you are! But yeah, sharing your comments and then the, like, thousand of emails after those comments, really make my day! Not to discount some of the E-BFF's I am forming now, you ladies are amazing and I really wish that we could meet up or at least live closer. I hate the distinction from bloggy BFF's and IRL BFF's, cuz some of you are like my BFF's, or are gonna be, because you amaze me and I wanna get to know y'all better! Really, and truly.
Ok, that was fun! Really, so sorry to "vent" on this awesome We Want to Know. Sorry. Really.
If you can forgive my downer (and please, not fishing for comments or pity, just sharing) you should totally link up with these ladies! I'v got a feeling it's gonna get all sorts of crazy fun!!

I appreciate your honesty.. we all have been burned by friends and it really does make it hard to want to put forth much energy for the next one until they prove themselves, ya know!! We are still in that stage of life where friends are still getting married, having kids, getting divorced, getting settled and its a turbulant time... so once that stage dies down, you'll probably find who that best friend really is... aside from the hubs...
hugs!
You're so sweet! I just adore you and I'm loving getting to know you!!
It's unfortunate that people can't confront you about something that they read on their blog. Whatever, they obviously weren't that great of a friend to begin with if they couldn't be honest with you.
I've said this before, but I appreciate your honesty. In a world where it seems like a lot of bloggers paint this pretty, perfect picture, it's refreshing to know I'm not the only one who needs to use her blog to rant once in a while, lol!!
Yep, our 3 qualities match up pretty well!
WHAT? You're meeting up with them and you're only an hour away? I am SO JEALOUS RIGHT NOW!
Ok...I'm making it my personal mission to find you a bestie. Every girl needs a bestie. You just haven't found the right one yet. I'm not sure how I'm goinna make this happen but maybe match.com has something about finding a bestie (minus the benefits). I'll check into it.
Thanks for linking up, SWEETS!!!
funny how we seems to make great friends with our bloggy friends.
I had a friend block me from FB too, one day she was my best friend the next her boyfriend was calling my hubby down, and it went from here
I do the same about making friends I listen and I hear everything. I can tell if they are fake or for real. So listenin' is good.
I have had facebook friends that have deleted comments of mine... and good bye to them. They know I'm outspoken going in! Delete a comment and you get booted! Wait... let me clarify. My real life gets closely scrutinized... my sister reads it. And Nadine, is a whole other story!
I'm joining with IA to find you a bestie...every girl needs another girl they can go to...it's a MUST! Husbands are great, but they don't seem to always get the "girl stuff".
Blogging is awesome at connecting people! I really value the friendships that I've made through Blogger and several of them have turned out to be the people who I am closest to...even if I don't see them everyday!
Oh, and girl this is your blog, so vent away!!
Seriously great answers! You know what, you totally are a what you see is what you get gal & I think that is so important!! I can't believe that some of your high school or college friends wouldn't think that is the best kind of trait to have in a friend. Oh & to the gal who got all pissy & blocked you from fb is a big ole baby. She must feel guilty about something because otherwise why would it be a big deal!
aww the forgotten one. that breaks my heart but i can kind of relate, it has been a loooong time since my last GNO and girls weekend.
a long time.
i love how honest and forthcoming you are in your answers.
i really appreciate your honesty.
thanks for linking up.
You want an email? Well here it is. Adam and I were both really upset u posted about our personal problems on your blog. I do not like that time brought up and then to be portrayed as a husband hater. I considered u a good friend and feel like u sold us out to make ur story look better. Adam and I both went through a deep depression at that time IT IS PERSONAL and hurtful that u posted it to the whole world. How could u not know that would hurt us? Then to say u have no idea why I am upset? Good friends don't do that!!! I am extremely hurt by this. U put everything out there o know that but do u have to put all of our stuff out there? I still can't fathom why u don't understand.
Having your husband as a best friend is something to be super proud of and grateful for. I know some girls who would give up all their best girlfriends to have a friendship like with their husbands. Promise.
Also, I never had best girlfriends for most of my life (except my cousin). It is only the past few years that I have made some true connections.
AI - you should totally start up your OWN website - linking up BFF's!
I've already said this, and I'll say it again, I love your honesty! In fact, it was one of my must have traits in a good friend :)
I'm finding that shyness is a common thing in everyones answers about why they don't make friends easily. Maybe we make the best bloggers because of it :)
I enjoyed reading your answers!
I don't have a best girl friend either and sometimes it makes me sad but most of the time I just appreciate the gal pals I do have. I hate it when a friend won't even tell you what you did to offend them so badly. :-( I've been there. Hugs.
I'm so glad you have your hubby to be there for you, and your blog buddies. They really are great aren't they?
I hate that you're left out. You need to be the planner that way you;re never left out again. See, I'm a problem solver!
You're just an hour away from Myya and Mimi, girl jump in your car and go, go, go! What are you waiting for?
Having your hubby as your best friend is so important. After 25 years I would still rather be with my hubby than anyone else...usually!
Thanks for linking up!
I can't believed someone blocked you on FB over something you said on your blog. How lame!
