Quotes and Friends (pardon the cheese)

"There are some things you can't share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them." -J.K. Rowling
"A Friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same."
Elbert Hubbard, you may have a strange name, but you said what I was thinking.


 In case you haven't noticed, I love my friends. They are so wonderful. And there's nothing like giving a talk in church before leaving for 18 months to bring them all together. I am so grateful to all those who came and supported me today. I have never felt so loved!
Of course, then everyone left.
 Sad face. 
Already, I miss you all.


Also, everyone else was doing this, so I did, too. Only mine's a little different because I'm a little different.
Things I Wish I Could Say to 11 Nameless People (and some quotes that can say it better):
1. I don't know if I would have made it through the last six months without you. You are an amazing person! I'm so glad we are so close and will forever have inside jokes. And don't worry, you will get married.
("Hey, when I got friends, I can get through anything." - Boy Meets World)
2. Sorry I'm not very patient with you. I know you are trying to help, but you don't always know the whole story. I think if you don't worry so much, things will get better.
("Yeah I called her up, she gave me a bunch of crap about me not listening to her, or something, I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention." -Dumb and Dumber)
3. I am so excited things are working out for you! I wish I could be there every step of the way, but I have no doubt we'll be friends forever.
("Oh, you're the best friends anybody ever had. And it's funny, but I feel as if I'd known you all the time, but I couldn't have, could I?" --Wizard of Oz)
4. Just be yourself and you will find the right person. Who you are is great, but your current girlfriend is not up to your level of awesome. 
("Better be without sense than misapply it as you do."
"Men of sense, whatever you may say, do not want silly wives!" -Emma [the movie, not my sister])
5. Our friendship still confuses me, but I'm glad to call you my friend. I love how open you are about your unique personality traits. I wish I could be that confident in myself.
("Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."--Casablanca)
6. We have a connection that I cannot explain. I love you as if you were part of my family. You always make me smile. I hope I can be there for you like you have been there for me.
("There are as many forms of love as there are moments in time." -Mansfield Park)
7. I regret not becoming a True Aggie with you. Maybe we still can.
("Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." - from Ferris Bueller's Day Off)
8. I wish we could be as close as we used to be. I still want to know about your life. Sorry I wasn't there when you needed me.
("It doesn't matter who, when, or where . . . You can always use a hug." -Hope Floats)
9. You are my most favorite person in the world. I would be nothing without you. Thank you times infinity.
(Take love, multiply it by infinity and take it to the depths of forever.. and you still have only a glimpse of how I feel for you." - Meet Joe Black)
10. The choices you are making are dumb. Stop being so obstinate and take the advice of those who care about you; you would be much happier. I'm always here when you are ready to tell the truth.
("Only a true friend would be that truly honest." --Shrek)
11. Quit stalling. Everything will be okay, but you have to go. Also, you are a little too over-the-top and crude for girls to take you seriously, but I don't think that will be a problem when you come back.
("It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends."--Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) (had to be done)


Here's a fitting quote for you all (hint hint):
A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often - just to save it from drying out completely.
Pam Brown
