Hobby friends

Hobby-friends are people we end up meeting because we revolve in similar circles.The Hobby-friend is someone who plays the same sport that we do,a person we kick it with every weekend at church or a girl or guy that works at our job.There's good and bad part about having hobby-friends.The good stuff is that you don't usually expect to have it out with a hobby-friend or have to endure full-on fights.The fact is that we just don't really see hobby-friends often enough to move to a deeper level where we're each pushing each other's buttons or making one another mad.
Here's the thing though.Our hobby-friends aren't the shoulder we cry on when things go bad.Our hobby-friend doesn't usually have to deal with us when we're cranky,stressed,bossy,or being a complete pain in the but.
Instead,hobby-friends almost always get to see us at our best because we spend only a limited amount of time with them.And guess what?We usually see their best side too.Its hard to guess what our hobby-friends can really be like day in and day out because we both see each other for so little time.
There's always an exception to any rule,though,right?
In the case of a hobby friend,the exception might be a hobby that crosses over to your daily life.You guys might see each other in all your classes,go on trips to conventions,performances or games,and see each other at weekly practice sessions.
What all of this time together can mean is that you have a chance to do some serious bonding.Be on the look out for hobby-friends that can cross over into your daily life.You may pick up a TRIED-AND-TRUE FRIEND!

Friendship means..........

You know you have a friend for life when they answer the phone at one in the morning because you can't sleep and have lots on your mind,and they don't mind talking about nothing to get your mind off everything.
They spare sometime to spend with you.
When you know that if something bad happened to you they'd be there for you,no questions asked.
When you can look at them when something is wrong and they know it just by the look in their eyes and all they have to do is offer a hug and you feel a thousand times better.
When you know they'd never lie to you,and would never hurt you and if they did it,would only be for your betterment.
They can make you laugh when the skies are the darkest,and they're there with a good movie and some popcorn when you're totally depressed.
And if you're a thousand miles apart,it doesn't matter because what you share with this friend is so much deeper than what lies on top that distance and it plays no role in your friendship.

Friendship is when they push when you need it,but never too hard;and stand back when the time is right but never too far.
And the TRUE TEST OF FRIENDSHIP is if you're willing to do it all back in a heartbeat.
When your life is so much better because you know them,and they bring out the best that lies within you.

The love of a friend

Being a friend is easy when the times are good or when you benefit from the friendship.But a TRUE FRIEND sticks by your side when things get tough.This is the kind of friend you all desire but to have this kind of friend,you also have to be that kind of friend.Love is still the greatest cure the world has ever known - no matter what the problem.The love of a friend makes you feel totally accepted just the way you are.The love of a friend asks how you are doing and really waits and listens for an answer.The love of a friend touches you - even though she knows all about you,she loves you anyway.The love of a friend stays with you when others desert you.The love of a friend is a gift from God.

FRIENDS FOREVER!

Forgive each other
Refresh each other
Invest in each other
Encourage each other
Nurture each other
Depend on each other
Share with each other

Just Friends

Doesn't it annoy you when a couple will go out for a period of time,have differences,break up and both decide to JUST BE FRIENDS.I mean,do people really think that they can ever go back to the movies,have play fights and hang out on a buddy level?When deep down,all they can think about is whether the other has a new boyfriend/girlfriend,and wonder if they will get back together again.I don't really think that ex-couples will ever get over an inside awkwardness and think of each other as a mate............Or if a girl is asked out by a guy,and she just wants to be friends,as if he will think of her as a friend.

When it comes to just a guy and girl starting out as buddies,definately,this works for everybody.But as far as guy and gals of roughly the same generation goes,no-one is totally free of romantic inclinations that come from deep down,whether people are aware of it or not.

True friends

True friends always pop up to say hello!
True friends don't care if you're a lil different.
True friends never fight like cats and dogs.
True friends will drive you anywhere.
True friends let anyone come along.
True friends don't laugh at you when you've made a fool of yourself.
True friends help you up when you're down.
AND True friends NEVER let you do something you'll regret afterwards.

How to be a good friend

How To Be A Good Friend

I just wanna explain how to be a good friend and I will try not to get to soppy and lovey dovey and keep details strictly to the cold hearted facts (actually, maybe I won't be that severe and detour from the cold and hard facts occasionally!).
Step 1: I suggest that if you want to be a good friend you become friends with someone you actually like. This automatically eliminates all teachers, politicians and people who get rid of school holidays.
Step 2: Once you have found someone you have things in common with, you should expand on this and get to know your friend better. Perhaps inviting her to sit next to you in maths or even talking to her now and then could help.
Step 3: If you mutually decide you have some things in common, good - you have found yourself a nice new friend. If you don't have anything in common, don't worry and keep searching - there are plenty of other fishes in the sea!
Step 4: Now yes, this friend will require quite a large proportion of your time, because naturally both parties need to be enthusiastic for a friendship to blossom. This means that you will need to support your friend in all their chosen paths, but be prepared to advise them against treading through dangerous waters.
Step 5: A friendship which is built upon mutual trust, respect, support and (my favourite) the acceptance of differences and the right to be an individual will foster other benefits such as loads of fun times where you party together or just hang out and share secrets (now don't deny it - these are the benefits that you were just itching to hear about!!)
Step 6: Well, now that you've found a friend, you should work on keeping them (that is if want to be a good friend and not just a friend fling). My best word of advice would be to continue with the above steps, make your friend feel loved and wanted and show you do care about them. If they're down and feel like they have no one in the world, prove them wrong by rocking up to their house with a bunch of sunflowers and a bottle of wine (or cordial, depending on how old you and your friend are) and talk through their concerns with them. If you're not the flower type, take them out for a big night on the town for a sure fire way to lift their spirits!If you chose to take my advice and it sucessfully finds you a good friend, then I fulfilled my task!! I now wish to sign, stay cool and happy friend hunting:)

MY BEST FRIEND............................



knows me well,and still likes me.
someone who i can call a slut and she calls me a whore and we are still best friends.
A gift from God...........unexpected,priceless and lasts FOREVER! 

Some friends know all about us,and they like us just the same.They accept us as we are...... not asking us to change.
They never criticize us while listening to our views.
They stay when others leave and speak when some refuse.
There aren't many friends like that...........and precious few i claim my self.
But at the top of the list, I'v proudly put your name............

FAITHFUL FRIENDS belive in each other.
bring out the best in each other.
celebrate the victories.
comfort each other during the difficult times.
tell the truth no matter what.
insist on growth.
bring honor to God. 

A true friend is someone who sees me at my worst but never forgets my best.
A true friend is someone who thinks i'm a little bit more wonderful than i really am.
A true friend is someone i can talk with for hours or be with in complete silence.
A true friend is a person who is as happy for my successes as i am.
A true friend trusts me enough to say what he really means when talking to me.
A true friend doesn't try to know more,act smarter,or be my constant teacher.A friend is a friend.
A true friend is a person who listens to me even when she isn't particularly interested in what im saying.........she listens because she sees its important to me.

People today,in all this new world technology and thinking,have lost site of what a true friendship is.So,in the spirit of my best friends,i thought i would help the world out a little and explain what a real,true friends are.

1. Friends don't have to be exactly the same.Friends have similarities and differences.The key to opening up the world of friendship is not only to expand on similarities but to accept each other's faults.....because you can't ever judge your friend.
2. Friends have to argue!No one likes to but it is necessary to be healthy.Cause if you agree on everything,either the government has expanded cloning subjects or someone isn't being true and is trying a little bit too hard.
3.You have to be comfortable together or else you just aren't going to click.If you feel edgy around the person then something just aint right.
4.Friends love unconditionally.They have their little angry moments but what is done is done and all is forgiven and forgotten.Why let something that happened in the past ruin what business you could have in the future?
5. Believe in Love at first sight because there is the equivalent in friendship.Some people think that you have to know someone really well to become good friends.Trust me...........its not true. If the first time you really spend time together,you talk for 25hours straight until 4.30 in the morning about some topic you thought no one else in the world understood,hun,thats real love at first sight.

These are only a few basics.Just remember,FRIENDS ARE FOREVER!But only if you keep it that way.Don't miss your buds,love them instead.And when they drive you crazy,love them that much more for being just a little bit different and maybe just a little bit quirky!
