Nothing beats being in the company of good friends in a great place that serves good food and good wine. We all have our own group of friends that have either been with us since childhood, highschool or that we've recently met and just clicked.
The perfect cicle of friends has:
1. The one friend who knows all your secrets. She knows your heartbreaks, has a box of tissue ready for your tears and is the one you call when you're in a tight spot. She's the practical friend that drinks juice or water when you're on a night out and drives your drunk asses home after a girls night out.
2. The one friend that lights up a party..she feeds your goss needs and you go shopping together. She's the one you invite on facebook, tvsa and the one you take on a take-a-friend-with event. She's the friend with whom you talk about your other friends behind their backs. You know she'll probably do that to you but you love her anyway.
3. The b!tch of the group. She reckless with her love life but doesn't care cause "she only lives once". She's a flirt and spends half the evening on the phone and most often has her own "ride" home. You love her because she's the fashion and make-up expert of the group and just makes you all laugh with her morning-after stories.
4. Then there's the I-CAN'T-KEEP-QUIET one that tells you everything about their gynaecological problem, their dandruff, their sex life and just about hijacks conversations so they end up being about her. I'm okay with people telling me details of their relationship but once you've had sex with the guy, the suspense is over. I no longer want to hear about it!!
Once you have a child with the guy and are starting a family, please don't bore me with details when i ask : How are you?
Please people, when i ask how are you don't start the tale of how your baby has sprouted three teeth and is the sweetest kid on earth and how your baby daddy is a remote control freak and how your stretch marks are irritating you and how you run around the block three times to deal with the post-pregnancy weight...i don't wanna hear it!!! Please recognise politeness and general inquisitiveness when it smacks you in the face and don't use that as an opportunity to listen to yourself speak.
Surely there's a big difference between an interview and a conversation? If you don't know the difference, please accept my letter of resignation from this friendship. Gawd, how I wish I can get all those hours of my life back!!!!
Okay now that I've ranted, do you guys have such a friend/colleague in your midst?
How do you tell someone to bloody shut the f** up?
What information is too much info?
Do you have a friend from hell?
Please share!!
