Friendship is being able to express it all with "eeee!"

This week was a bit of a doozy, but true to form my Kingston friends came out of the woodwork to tide me through it all. I would like to take this moment to thank them all for making this week just a little bit lighter.

Like Julie who took me to see Henry Rollins do his spoken word think and enable me to laugh so hard that no sound came out and who I managed to see 3 times in less than 24 hours. That hasn't happened since we were both living HMV back in K-town and my my it was wonderful. I must have more of that.

My Mum, who I consider one of my best friends, who just does so much more for me than I can express and having her come to the city so often is just so wonderful. That can keep happening all the time and I'll be quite alright with it.

Or Carly who I ran into on the crosswalk at Yonge and Bloor. The reunion went in typical style for us. Recognition, glee and the realization that it could be fatal if we stop and give each other a huge hug in the middle of Yonge street, so pause everything and run like idiots to the side of the street where we proceeded to hug, squeal with joy and lavish eachother with compliments. Blogs must be thanked for keeping us on top of eachother's lives, thus sparing us the "so what are you up to..." chat and just get right to the good stuff. I need more of this too.

Finally Laura, who I have to spend heaps and heaps of time with before she takes off on her own international adventure. There's something about hanging out with someone you've known and adored for 15 years that's just so affirming. Someone who can really laugh with you about how retarded everything was in the hell that was highschool and shared all those steps of growing beyond it all. I don't know how I could survive without this.
