i have three friends

Re: i have two friends

well, really i have a lot more, but for the purpose of this thread i'm only discussing three of them.

friend #1: I've known for a number of years. never asks for anything from me, although i would gladly do what i could. when i've needed anything, he's there in a heartbeat to help.

friend #2: I've known for about a year. has asked for small favors, copies of magazines i have and read, articles, etc. I have offered help and support tons of times without being asked. He has offered support in return, but not much more.

friend #3: a new friend. but so far, a good one.

so i mention to all three that i would like a letter of recommendation for something. Its not totally necessary, and i didn't ask any of them specifically, i just said that i'd like one. of course, there's no cost except postage, and the time is whatever they would have liked to spend on it.

friend #1: sent me a beautiful, well thought out letter. very personalized and clearly spent a lot of thought on it.

friend #2: nothing.

friend #3: emailed me a nice letter to send, and said they hoped it was enough but would gladly mail me one too.

I think I've discovered that friend #2 is a "fair weather friend" only. that sucks.

omg..friend 1 is SO my cousin. You know though sometimes "friends" like number 2 can surprise you and really come through in your time of need. But I do agree this kind of test of a person can say a lot.

Also, OMG this is a girlie thread! Who are you kidding with that "M"?

Re: i have two friends

dont sweat the small stuff, imo. your real friends are there for you when things get ugly - really ugly - and while letters and what not are nice, thoughtful things, theyre hardly a decent test of friendship (not that you should ever test friendship by choice, imo)

personally im really flaky with little stuff - birthdays? someone remind me. anniversaries? lol helping you move house? 80% of the time. but when it comes to bigger things, ie 2am phone call to go to the bank and wire a grand to your mate who is stuck in another state, or drop everything and come and help (for free) on a construction site becasue youre about to lose the contract and are freaking out, or backing you up when there are 4 maori guys wanting to kick your face in - im there.

dont be so quick to label him a fair weather friend, imo

Do pets or fuck buddies count?

no, or the number would be MUCH higher.

Frisky, since you are bending over...

You want me to pick up your pen or something?
