Best Friends

I love my friends. They are so much fun to be with. I love laughing with them and hanging out with them. They are so great. But then there is Erica. She has been my best friend since high school. She is really the only friend from high school that I keep up with on a regular basis. There will never be another friend like her. It is not that we are particularly close or anything. I know what is going on in her life and vice versa and we do occassionally talk about problems. But really we just have fun talking about nothing. Who do I call when I want to know what movie to rent? Erica. Who do I call when I spend all day walking around New Orleans looking for the Real World House? Erica. Who do I call when Lorelai proposes to Luke...Erica! Nathan or Teah or Candi would never understand why I love scones and coffee and Chai Tea. Even though I love taking trips with Nathan, I would kind of rather go to Europe with Erica. Nathan wouldn't understand why I want to go to Notting Hill and find the house with the big blue door. Or sit in an Irish Pub waiting for Bono. Erica and I sort of share a brain when it comes to stuff like that. She is the only one who gets when I use a quote. Everyone else thinks I am stupid. We can complete each other sentences, we have the same silly dreams of opening up a coffee shop or being a tv analyist for the WB. She is the only person I can daydream with because our minds are going the same place. She is the one I get advice from. She is the one I listen to about movies, music, tv, and books...because we like the exact same thing! I don't know if it is because we have been friends for so long or because we just are alike...maybe a little of both. I mean for an entire year all we did every weekend was go to the movies and go out to eat. We saw a movie like every weekend! And then we would get coffee and scones and go back to my house and make collages and watch movies we have seen so many times that we can mouth the movie along with the actors. Sometimes I kind of wish Nathan liked all of those things...but he doesn't. That's it...I just need to marry Adam...he would understand that stuff.
