Her: So the first and second molds didn’t come through. (pause) So we have to do it again. You’re very brave to do it without anesthesia.
Y’know how I always say that your friends’re mirrors to yourself? They’re also the thermostats to your mental health.
They’re the ones that pull you back and go, “Dude, what are you doing?” It’s why nutcases like Ted Kaczynski live by themselves in the woods.
The running joke between my friends and me’s that I beergoggle. They always whisper into my ear, “Eject, eject, eject.” And I always go, “Really?” shrug and bolt. Figure that I’m about 27.3% rum most weekends (by volume, not weight) so I should listen to them.
With mobile phone photography technology being what it is, they’re right more often than not.
Not all my friends eject when we tell them to, though, which is another running joke.
Another thing I believe’s that if three of your friends tell you something, unsolicited, it’s probably true. Like if three friends tell you that you’re acting like a jerk, chances are high, you’re acting like a jerk.
A buddy of mine’s all bent outta shape about a girlie that we all roundly believe isn’t worth his time. And yet he keeps trying. He insists that this is different, that she’s different. But we both know she’s not. It’s not.
He just needs time to sober up to see it. No worries. I’ll be sure to mock him once he comes up for air. It’s what friends do.

Does it count if my close friends are not in the same city? Or am I going to go postal soon?
Alana – sorry it took me so long to respond – I had much going on.I don't think it matters where your friends are, so long as they're close enough to keep checking in. It's the checking in that matters.
