Though I tend to avoid things this teeth-achingly heart-warming, I felt like I wanted to share a moment of great friendship, and encourage you guys to do the same.
We all have moments in our lives in which a friend will say the *perfect* thing to make you feel better, appear at the most-needed moment, and just in general remind you why humans are social animals to begin with.
This was inspired by a phone call I got 10 minutes ago from my best friend. He didn't directly mention the Great Dumping Debacle, but he did say that he knew that I had a "shitty couple of days".
The rest of the conversation went as follows:
Him: "Yeah, so I was thinking that you should get some stuff together, gather the dog and the cat, put some shoes on, and make sure you're ready when I come by"
Me: "ummm....okay am I coming over?"
Him: "Yeah and do me a favor and call the Dorchester Target and make sure they have PlayStation 3s in stock, and copies of Resistance: The Fall of Man. Because I'm thinking beer, pizza, and video games. Wow I hope I don't have to call in sick tomorrow."
Me: "You're....PS3...really? REALLY? *squeeeeeeeee*
And just when I needed it most, my friend appeared to distract me and make things seem a lot lighter.
This is a casual example, and I'm sure you guys have many more. Share 'em.
Also, I fully realize my example makes me seem like I'm 17. I'm 31. Shut up.
