Friendships

2.24.2009 • in the mid-morning

Should friendships be hard work?
I ask this because I just sent my best girlfriend another “are you alive??” email.
I also sent a good HS friend a similar one.

I think I lose patience with them because they are not connected. They are only online for a few minutes at night and may or may not check email, I’m not saying it’s a bad thing necessarily, but that’s how I communicate with people for the most part.
I sent friend #1 an email last week and she just replied today, neither one of them text...yeah I know! WTH???

They both have work emails which they never check, I emailed one of them 3 weeks ago to ask her out to lunch and she didn’t open the email for 9 days!

Do you ever find yourself being closer and more connected to “online” friends?

Seriously, I don’t have the time to sit and talk on the phone for 30 minutes to find out little Jimmy got pit hair! freaking email me and send me a picture like normal people do!
I don’t want to have to HEAR about your Gyno appointment, send me a pic of your feet in stirrups that’s all it takes, right Friglet??

I bet they both think I’m the crazy one, “Freaking Sassy and her damn emails, why can’t she just call me at home after dinner?”

Sassy is busy after dinner, she is instant messaging! Ha ha ha!!

OMG! I just got a reply from Friend #2 y’all are going to love this!

What do you mean where have I been.  I’ve been right here.
Hey I got this email from someone inviting me to facebook and I do not know who she is how can I find out who she is? 

I know I sent her an invite a few months back, I bet that’s me she’s referring to!

I have only 1 friend that I talk to on the phone regularly. She is not connected. I give her shit all the time for not making it into the 21st century like the rest of us.

AH, another classic story of girl meets girl.  girl likes girl.  girl finds out that other girl doesn’t text.  girl dumps girls ass.  Sounds oh so familiar wink LOL

Actually I have 2 points to make here.  First, she is absolutely not allowed under the girls friendship code of conduct not to at least answer back in some fashion for a week.  Just.Not.Allowed. 

BUT, you know that she is not connected and no amount of wanting her to be will make her that way.  So, you my dear also need to make an effort to call her if she is one of your best girlfriends.  You can’t really expect her to just do what you want can you?? wink

So, its a little give and take on that friend i’m afraid!
