My best friends...

I have been lucky enough in my life to have an amazing group of best friends.. we've been through thick and thin together, two of them moved to different countries (one came back again), there's been a few arguments but nothing major and I know I can count on every single one of them.  So I thought I would dedicated a whole post to them and let you know a few little bits about them.. Funny thing is.. the majority of us didn't exactly choose each other as friends.. we were kind of thrown together!


Best friend number 1 - She has known me the longest, since the day I was born actually.  We were thrown together by our Mum's, 28 years ago.  We argue like sisters, her ever beautiful, youthful appearance pisses me off, we don't always agree with each others life choices, but we love each other none the less.  I know that in times of need, I can go to her and she will comfort me, tell me about her similar past experiences and help me to learn from them.


Best friend number 2 - She's the sister of best friend number 1, so yet again, thrown together by our Mum's!! As kids, we had matching haircuts and wore flowery dresses, if it wasn't for the different skin colourings, we could of been twins!  We've lived together.. 3 times.  She moved to Spain but came back again a few years later and it was like she was never away.. Well apart from the "in Spain we did this" or "I own that DVD, but it's in Spain" stories.  Up until a few years ago, I couldn't go to her for comfort.. She was the one I went to if I needed to laugh or just forget about stuff.. She's softened though and I can now seek comfort.. but after 5 minutes, she's back to the jokes!


Best friend number 3 - She's the best friend of best friend number 1, so thrown together that way.  She moved to LA 6 years ago to further her career and I miss her loads.. She came home a few weeks ago but I only got to see her once :( I shall be meeting up with her in Vegas next year though, so all is good!  I worry about her, she's so far away! She has 2 beautiful girls and not knowing them very well makes me sad.  We keep in touch through Twitter, Facebook and occasionally Skype.. but sometimes it's just not enough!


Best friend number 4 - She was school friends with best friend number 2 and I didn't really like her very much (I thought she was stealing my best friend off me) somehow though, she managed to wangle her way into my list of best friends.. And I don't regret it for a second, we've lived together.. twice! The second time round was one of the best parts of my life.. We share a love of the Doctor, chocolate and musicals.  She's one of the nicest people I know.. Which sometimes pisses me off.. I just wish she'd say "no piss off" but she won't!! When it comes to advice, she's the sensible one.. I hate listening to her advice sometimes, cos I know it's what I should do.. And I tend to not do it, but then do it a few weeks later!!


Best friend number 5 - Well, she's my fellow Virgo!! She was always around as I was growing up, but we were never really very close till about 6/7 years ago.. In those 6/7 years I have learnt a lot about her.  She's the spiritual one of the group.. yet she's not all floaty, woaty, arty, farty.. She's grounded and strong.  Sometimes, in a social situation, I look at her and feel as if we are thinking exactly the same thing about the person stood in front of us.  We have a lot of similarities, but at the same time we're completely different. 

Now normally... We don't ever really let anybody else into our little group.. but then came along best friend number 6.. She went to uni with best friend number 5.. but it's only really in the last 6 months that I've become close to her (once I was single) she's absolutely mental and her stories crack me up!! She's also a trooper.. Never sick!! She calls me her hero, but really.. She's mine!

So there we have it.. My girls!! I hope that at least a couple of you are reading this.. if you are, I love you! xx
