It's Nice to Have a Vice!.....

Indulging in Vices with Friends



as i always say "it's our vices....more than our virtues.... that make us interesting"
....the other day i was thrilled and oh so happy to spend some quality time smoking the Hookah pipe with two of my oldest and best friends on the grid...
Miss Eleanor Anderton and Miss June Wozniak...sadly missing were our dears Serafina and Audrey...it was Miss Eleanor's Rez day...and we had lots to celebrate and catch up on... soap bubbles and untoward machinations and one of us wears the drama crown (not i! though i was a runner up!) ....pretty much we agreed that we all should cultivate those girl friends that support us rather than plot against us (or set us up for sure disapointment) how sad to find out that a girl you thought was a friend could DO something like that to another friend! knowingly!

which led us to tick off those things girls do spitefully, meanly, thoughtlessly to each other that we all deplore.........i've had girls go after guys i fancied (and called dibs on!) just to see if they could as a challenge... and brag about it.
i mean, really... that's not a good friend! (of course that friend was later caught nekkid in bed with said dibbed guy by her poor duped partner and her best lie was that she needed lindens for the tier! Me-ow!) but i digress.....that kind of friend i do NOT need....nor any girl should trust...

there are also those annoying girls who have to always have the last word...so tiresome....and who blather on and on nauseum just to hear the sound of their own voices (or posts) or throw us under the bus for the latest "homme du jour" ....so many girls do that...to make themselves seem more important....those who vociferously protest to be one thing but really act otherwise..i really cannot stand hypocrites....self-richeous sorts....who are so busy thinking of the next witty thing to say to puff themselves up rather than to really get to know anyone.
....of course Eleanor, June, Sera, Ceejay, Breezy and Auds are not like that!
thank goodness and that's why i adore them so! and i know there are other friends to be out there who are also sweet and generous and not thinking only about themselves (Bettye!)...those girls are a joy to discover....because of course i adore men (and one Mayoral type in particular) but it's our girl friends who are there for us ...pre and post homme!....through good times and bad,..happy and sad...and for shopping!

....June...ahhh how i could rhapsodize about dear funny smart and beautiful June ....i miss her...she's not around a lot... just as i miss dear Gilbert Sapwood. a guy friend who is so close to my heart and mind....
so, it's our friends that define us....so much more than mere acquaintances....
loyalty. honesty. generosity. kindness and berevity...these are the things we should cultivate!

I sooo need to relax and enjoy a smoke with you!

You know... you hit the nail right on the head with the 'need to get in the last word' mention. I've learned years ago that the best thing to do with a last-word-addict is... let em have it. It's meaningless to me to get in the last word, and by not trying to get it, a dialog ends right fast!!! Huzzah!

and i would so love to have you over for a hit of the hookah! just you or with dear Bettye or Orchid or any other friend you trust and hold dear!

and excellent advice! and i agree!! ...last time this person "last worded me" in an especially snipey and passive aggressive way i left a post like this "[smiles graciously, shrugs, and takes the high road]" and to give that person credit, she deleted that last mean-spirited comment. now...but not saying anything did i have a last word or just indicate that i wasn't going to feed that need anymore? conundrum! LOL
