Thirteen Things - Janet's Friends
(please don't be insulted if I left you out...it wasn't intentional, I only had 13 numbers to use and I went by seniority!)***1. Maribeth: That girl can cook up a STORM; she also loves her dogs like I love mine. I'm glad she's both my cousin AND friend.
2. Melodie: She is the best storyteller I've ever met; she could give Stephen King a run for his money! We've become closer in the last couple of years, and I really like that :-)
3. Cal: He was my boyfriend in highschool and all these years later, we're still friends.
4. Pat: Met her in 9th grade, we did some pretty dumb things and sometimes it amazes me we lived through it!
5. Betsy: We met when she was assigned to Hanscom Air Force Base in 1986 or so. She's the smartest person I know, also the most un-pretentious and the most fun!
6. Diane: Met her through Betsy, didn't think I'd like her at first due to her views on certain things, but we ended up becoming good friends.
7. Mo: Met her through Betsy, too; she's like the sister I never had. I can call her up at a moment's notice, say let's go here or there, and she almost always says OK!
8: Kim: Met her through Betsy, too! Not only is she my friend, but she's my dentist! She throws the best parties and is always fun.
9. Gaylen: She taught me patience, no easy feat. She was my lifeline to sanity when I lived in Japan in the early 90s and was going through a hell of a divorce.
10. Eileen: Seems like just yesterday we met, but it's going on 10 years [E: it's not 10 years, it's 9 years, 1 month & 15 days-she's in accounting, can you tell?]. She's the person that talked me into going to Paris and was just as surprised as I was that I fell in love with the city!
11. MaryEllen: Met her online; then in person and was shocked at how short she was. That we've stayed friends for the last 9 years despite our many differences is a testament to friendship!
12. Krista: We met in 2004 via blogging. She's an amazing artist and a good friend...altho I thought she didn't like me the first few times we met. I think she likes me a bit now. Maybe ;-)
13. Michelle: We hit it off from the moment we met in Dec' 04, again via blogging, and altho we are nothing alike, our friendship continues to thrive based on respect and caring.

***as anyone who knows me knows, I've been very forgetful lately, to the point of ridiculousness. For example, I talked to a coworker recently and told him I was going to fax some paperes down to him right away. I promptly got distracted by something and completely forgot about it, 2 minutes later! He called me back, and was all...um...are you sending that fax? I was all...OMG! I totally forgot! He said...how could you forget? We JUST spoke on the phone?
I use that as an example for leaving two people off my list of friends (friends, in this case, being people I've met in real life, there're lots of bloggers I really like, but I haven't met them yet. Maybe I'll do a list of my 13 favorite bloggers next week), people that mean alot to me.
This first is Aislinn! We met at work, and had in common an AF history, a love of LOTR and lots of other things. I don't see her as much as I'd like to, as she doesn't work with me anymore and lives 2 gazillion miles away. But I will see her Saturday, when she'll probably kick my ass for leaving her off the list.
The second is Lauren. Lauren I met at work, too, and we've been through alot together, including my being there for her when she had to put her dog, Felisha, to sleep. We've had our ups and downs, but I count her among my friends.
Now...anyone else I forgot, I'm totally sorry, but it's due to my advanced CRS!
Oh, wait! And Monique! How can i forget Monique! She introduced me to Boston's transvestite club and cracks me up. Sorry Monique!
And Heather! Who can forget Heather?! Apparently, I can...sorry Heather!

Dude, first you forget me and then I'm #14! :) Teasing... I wouldn't be mad at all... Your forgetfullness makes me laugh...
Do you remember this conversation -

Both just laugh...
