The Friend

I think I am a really great friend. I have come to this conclusion because even at my lowest point I have been happy for friends that at the same time were at their highest. I remember a friend remarking on that to me. She was getting married and I was ending a relationship. She and I don't talk much anymore and that makes me sad. It is hard for women to find true friends because for most women "cattiness" always seems to interrupt. I am always explaining the underlying language of women to my husband. Luckily for me he sees it, doesn't always understand it, but he knows its there. It amazes him to see how women can be malicious and spiteful to each other just because one is prettier, has a better guy, or a nicer something or other. He always remarks that guys are so different.

Women and men are so different reminds me of a scene from Friends -

Scene: Monica and Rachel's apartment. Phoebe, Monica, and Rachel are there, discussing the night before.
RACHEL: Ross kissed me.
MONICA: Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!
RACHEL: It was unbelievable!
MONICA: Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!
PHOEBE: Ok, all right. We want to hear everything. Monica, get the wine and unplug the phone. Rachel, does this end well or do we need to get tissues?
RACHEL: Oh, it ended very well.
PHOEBE: Oh.
MONICA: [getting the wine] Do not start without me. Do not start without me.
PHOEBE: Ok, all right, let's hear about the kiss. Was it like, was it like a soft brush against your lips? Or was it like a, you know, a "I gotta have you now" kind of thing?
RACHEL: Well, at first it was really intense, you know. And then, oh, god, and then we just sort of sunk into it.
PHOEBE: Ok, so, ok, was he holding you? Or was his hand like on your back?
RACHEL: No, actually first they started on my waist. And then, they slid up, and then, they were in my hair.
PHOEBE/MONICA: Ohhhh.

The boys across the hall -

Scene: Chandler and Joey's apartment. Ross, Chandler, and Joey are there eating pizza.
ROSS: And, uh, and then I kissed her.
JOEY: Tongue?
ROSS: Yeah.
JOEY: Cool.
