Posted by Anya in : I won't keep things purposely vague , trackbackLet’s see. I feel like posting about my friends, because I have some awesome ones. Even the ones with whom I only talk online.Â
First of all, there were people’s helpful reactions to our car-crash-thingy yesterday. Abby cyber-hugged me. Christine made gaspy-oh-no-are-you-okay type noises. Griffin was sympathetic. Peter asked me tonight, “Are you sure you’re undamaged???” (Honestly, I took a minute to figure out what he was talking about.) And then there were also the helpful people at the time of the crash — the guy who crashed into us, the man who pulled over to make sure that everything was all right, and the girl working in Arby’s. See, Mom sent me in to call Dad. Well, no where has payphones anymore. So I stood there looking around helplessly until the girl behind the counter said, “Um… can I help you?” I said, “Do you have a phone?” She pulled out her cellphone and handed it to me! 
Then there are the friends who say things like this to me: “I hate to say this, but since we’ve always been honest with each other: I thought Two Lefts Don’t Make a Right and Mmmhmm were better.” (That was Samwise, by the way, referring to the fact that I had just bought Five Score and Seven Years Ago). It sort of cracked me up, because he takes honesty to such a level, but on the other hand, it’s part of the reason I’m friends with him. I can trust him to be honest… about… really, anything. Even CDs.Â
And tonight I had my group at youth group. Sometimes I start to feel like I have satellites! But really, it was funny, because at the beginning of this school year, a seat next to me on the couch vacated. (Yes, we’re very boring, we all tend to sit in the same places every week.) That was because Arika left for college. :( So Caleb started sitting next to me. And sitting was it.  As in, we sat next to each other, but didn’t even think of talking. Well, tonight Arika was back from college, and (of course) claimed the seat next to me. Caleb: O_O “You stole my seat!” And then he and Arika started reading the AIM Chronicles which Peter has been publishing of various random convos he and I have. *rolls eyes* And Richard just watched us like we were all crazy.  Which we are, so he’s reasonable enough. And then we all started laughing, which left Aubrey staring at us. Oh well. It was fun. Dumb, but fun. I realized it’s the kind of casual fun that definitely would not have been happening back in August, when Caleb never talked to me and I still thought Richard was a quiet person. *sighs*
There were all kinds of fun quotes tonight from youth group, too, and Peter commanded me to put up the “GIVE ME BACK MY BLING!!!!” He and Kristen had stolen Sheriya’s necklace and refused to give it back until he suddenly *decided* to give it back. I think that had something to do with Samwise forcing him to. :P Odd timing… quite coincidental, I’m sure!
And then the wonderful world of IM. I got to talk to Anika about Nazi Germany and such (fun!) and Antion this morning. Randomness from Antion: he broke his silver ring playing the bongos. Mhmm. The things that I hear when I ask “que pasa?” But it was good to talk with him… even if it was only for fifteen minutes… because he is someone who I can talk to about absolutely anything.Â
So there. And I obviously have loads of friends who didn’t get mentioned, but these were a few. And they are awesome. 
 And I am richly blessed to have them.
