Thank god for friends

i have been accused of over dosing on facebook way 2 many times... that it's not even funny anymore.

it got me thinking... on why i am such an fb junkie.

i've drifted apart from many dear frinds...
like most, i was too busy chasing a career, building a family... having kids... n before i realized... 10 - 15 - even 20+ years have passed since we touched base.

and i've realized... coupla thing....
how WRONG i was... about some of them.
and how RIGHT i was on a few others.

makes me wonder...is it my outlook that has changed in life...?

so i went to top notch schools growing up... and the girls i thot were total snobs then, are such dear dear sweethearts. i enjoy reading about them and sharing inane banter with them.

some others... were immature and its funny to see... they've remained the same.

will talk of a few here... of course anonymously.

Ms NoName... my first memory of a friend. i was 10 when i met her. jolly, vivacious, happy and so full of life love and laughter. her life long battle with weight hasn't killed her spirit. stayed the same.

Ms Garfield... very creative, witty and lovely smile. sharp mind, sharper tongue. stayed single and has stayed the same.

Ms Wit... way advanced for her age even at 15. sharp mind and witty. lived an adventurous life and is so hard working. stayed the same

Ms Docile... sweetness personified. wanted to be nun. life has thrown lemons the size of melons... divorced with 2 kids in tow. wish life had been kinder. just gotten stronger

Ms Flirt... helped me survive 4 yrs of dreaded college life... full of mischief, kind, numerous fans n easily distracted by love. went thru' bad relationships n has had to grow up SO fast and these days, helps me stay grounded.

Ms Geek... spoilt brat, studied hard, total geek and helped us all pull our grades up. turned cool n is now partying like there is no tomorrow. total flip!

Mr TDH ... dashing n caused quite a few hearts to flutter at school. a college romance that didn't withstand family pressure. no plan b in place when plan a failed. accepted lifez lemons with the perennial smile n has returned to his family base in a little remote village in India n is highly into community service. total flip!

Mr Arien... was grumpy most times. today is so grounded, full of life, family, wife, kid and can be so funny, that he cracks me up. gotten better with time!

Ms BLR... ever ready to go pub hopping, shopping... great times...stayed single and loving it. 10 yrs later... still pub hopping n happy n so very nice.

n the best for last
My Halkat... 20 yrs ... is a long time... n my first impression has stayed the same. today i realize.... its totally my loss :(

i am happy to be able to chat n stay connected with some of these lovely people everyday.

so ya... i am addicted to fb.
'coz my friends live in there.
