True Friendship... SCOTTISH STYLE!! Are you tired of those weak 'friendship' poems that always sound good,but never actually come close to reality? Well, here are a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship. You will see no cute little smiley faces on this card .. Just the stone cold truth of a great friendship.
1. When you are sad -- I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the person who made you sad.
2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
3. When you smile -- I will know you are thinking of something that I would probably want to be involved in.
4. When you are scared -- I will take the mickey out of you every chance I get until you're NOT.
5. When you are worried -- I will tell you stories about how much worse it could be until YOU STOP WHINING!
6. When you are confused -- I will try to use only little words.
7. When you are sick -- Stay the heck away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have. 8. When you fall, I will laugh at you, you clumsy arse, but I'll help you up.
This is my oath.... I pledge it to the end. 'Why?' you may ask; Because you are my friend. Send this to 10 of your closest friends.
Then get depressed because you can only think of 4.
Hey, I've just sent it to a lot more than 10
Oooh I likey!
Happy Birthday Nad!
Great song choice. Can I pick the next one?
More music
Apologies for my absence the last couple of days. Long story short,.. huh, not sure there's a short version but, basically, I'm a moderator... somehere on a forum and, my section... poop + moving bladed thingy designed to keep your cool = Trouble + oodles of work for me. Seriously, I've had to sit and review something like 750 pages of posts to try and get to the bottom of where this all started and I've been forced to conclude that some people are just horrible, nasty bullies, who hold a grudge over the tiniest of disputes and have extremely short memories about the masses of positive and supportive posts others have given.
Thank goodness for the Woohoos aand a little sanity in my online life. ...oh lookie, and there's yet another PM in my inbox there already... best go sort that out.
Oh there's more than just that but, uh, it's a party so let's party on dudes!
But ahhhh, the memories it invoked
