It is because of men that women dislike one another. ~Jean de La Bruyère,
I have one female best friend. I know her going on 16 years now, and with the exception of two hysterical arguments, we have never had a fight. I'd like to point out, that during the first fight, someone was sending me ransom letters, complete in cutout newspaper style writing, and I was not quite in my right mind. I still have these letters, and if anyone reading this works for the FBI, and is willing to help me dust for prints, please let me know.
Anyway, another reason I think we've been friends this long is because she is one of the most loyal and considerate people I know. People like this need to be commended. Publicly. She is the kind of person that hangs around people that cause her heartache 95% of the time, and happiness the other 5%. She finds this 5% enough to hang on.
This brings me to the next reason we get along, because opposites attract. If you only cause me happiness 5% of the time, I'll ditch your ass.
So, this post is for all the people out there who have the patience to endure idiocy. The people who can play devil's advocate, the people who call their grandmother once a week just to be called a Spinster and who call their Mothers only to feel fat, stupid, worthless, infertile and inconsiderate after every. single. phone call.
I raise my glass to you all, because truthfully, I don't have the patience for that shit.

Wow. I don't even know what to say.
Really. I'm speechless.
Thank you. I needed that. But of course, you knew that without my saying so.
Oh and the second fight? Yeah, not exactly in my right mind either.
I love you

Hey! I play Devil's Advocate for you all the time! Well, I used to. Now it's only in cases of dire emergency. And I teach! Which means I endure idiocy on a daily basis! YEAH! I get to be lumped in the same category as K! I really DO own!
