ta ta and away i go

i won't be writing much today. i'm going to (north county) to hang out with some old old pals. it's a girl weekend. lots of talk of sex and lots of drinking of (alcoholic beverage native to area).

i will be with
(J) and i have been friends for 27 years. that's like, a whole adult. in 3rd grade she had one of those cool bracelets made out of beads with letters...designed to spell out your name. that was a big thing in the 70s: name jewelry. (J) was always very popular. super cute and friendly with rock solid loyalty. never have i heard her say a bad thing about anybody. (J) has a unique penchant for making funny noises followed by a boisterous laugh that gets everyone around giggling. she is gifted at drawing animated talking butts in particular.

(M) was (Js) best friend. (M) has beautiful flaming red hair and a personality to match. i use to smoke cigarettes with (M) on the bleachers in high school around the same time that she introduced me to pink floyd, certainly a turning point in my mental state. the three of us have been friends since we were 8. in junior high (M) and (J) made up a word, an exuberant salutation. they ran around in their Esprit sweatshirts, getting in your face and yelling "(made up salutation)." they also ran around asking "do you like kinky sex?" so funny the stuff we said before we knew what it meant.

(K) is beautiful with a victorian face and taste for vintage clothes. she always has lots of pretty silver bracelets on and tends towards large silver lockets. i met her later in life even though we are all from the same small nor cal farming town. you can always always always count on (K) to join you in smoking a smoke, drinking a drink and listening to your problems. we've grown somewhat seperate the last year and i miss her so much.

(W) was (Ks) best friend growing up. (W) has the best taste in fashion and design of anyone i know. she thinks she's a cow, but she is really beautiful too. she's got one of those aristocratic noses and wants to cut it off. she thinks she looks like a witch. she is out of her mind. (W) is one of my closest confidantes. she may come off blunt at times but she can be counted on to speak the truth always. this is very valuable. i adore her and couldn't get through this life without her.

(A). (A) is very very special. she is the kindest soul i know. she shares my insanity and we hold each other up on a daily basis. (A) is my one female musician friend and the best person i know on this earth. she really didn't believe me when i told her that recently. she possesses not one single judgemental bone in her body. when i think about how much i love her, i almost start crying. she is also from small norcal farming town but i only met her five years ago. she is secretly a bad girl with the face and heart of an angel.

so, anyway. i have some smokes to smoke and some drinks to drink with 5 Incredibly Amazing Beautiful Funny Smart and Talented Women. i don't know how i got so lucky.

ta ta.

bw: indeed, how did we ALL get so lucky? What is it about these ladies whose friendships seemingly go on forever? Is it luck, or is it something else entirely? I like to think it is something else entirely. Some hard work and deservedness on our parts.

Last night was a hoot, but I really enjoyed our 5:30 am meeting in the hallway, and our discussion of forty-year-old feminine hygiene product advertisements.

xxxooo
