The Importance of Absurdity

I know I say this a lot, but I honestly have the world's coolest friends. I'm forever being blown away by their awesomeness. They're just so...cool!
FOr example, I'd been needing to talk to Anna for a couple days. Big time. I finally caught her online yesterday afternoon and asked if I could come over. Not only did she skip dance for me, but she let me sit there and talk for at least an hour about stuff that's been going on. I mean, how many of your friends sit and listen to you ramble for an hour? Of course, after that, we got silly and such...which is only understandable if you've seen us in action!
And then there was last Sunday. Me, Jess, Lindsay, Haleigh, Chris and Peter went to see Luther (with 'rents and younger siblings). The movie was decent, but due to the nasty guy that sat on Chris's leg (long story!), we laughed through the whole thing. And then Anna met us at Fud's for dinner and we all squished into the Elvis booth, which is "our" booth. And I honestly had one of the best times I can ever remember. I mean, they're the people I'm really "me" with. They're the people who know me best. I'm so real with them and they love me despite, or maybe even because of it. Can you ask for anything more?
We may not have youth group this year, but to me, it's just as well. I'm so much closer to these people now than I ever was before, even when we did have youth group. I know that a big part of that was the musical last spring, but Haleigh, Lindsay and Peter weren't involved in it. And besides, some combination of us is together every weekend anyway. I don't know how I'd survive if I couldn't stop by Anna's whenever I needed some quality friend time. Or if I couldn't call Jessica and tell her anything. Or laugh 'til I cry at/with Chris and Jon.
So that being said...I like my friends.
