Quote From: parisienne

Is willing to cry in front of you 

  

  

Is willing to let you see the worst and best parts of themselves periodically 

  

  

Never says never 

  

  

Encourages you to better yourself without pushing too hard 

  

  

Gives you a good smack if you are being a jerk, too hard on yourself, or unkind 

  

  

Is willing to be tough with you and tell it like it is when you need it (and sometimes don't want it) 

  

Supports your moments of temporary insanity 

  

You can be insane with him/her 

  

You can laugh so hard we them that meat (yes meat!) comes flying out of your nose 

  

You have pet names with each other  

  

You can be angry and still be friends a day later 

  

You like to play jokes on one another 

  

You can respect each other's limitations and differences 

  

You don't really have to say much for them to know everything you are thinking/feeling 

  

You can get lost with them on a road trip and neither of you seem to care 

  

You can deal with the fact that their family situation is messed up 

  

You help them through messed up family situations 

  

You can eat 11 euro/dollars worth of gummy candy between the two of you and not feel an ounce of guilt 

  

You can dance like an idiot in front of them 

  

They know your favorite ice cream flavor 

  

They'll binge on ice cream with you after your boyfriend dumps you 

  

They'll offer to put out a hit on the boyfriend that dumps you (haha not for real, just kidding!) 

  

They'll join you on fashion hits and misses 

  

They'll eat whatever you cook them no matter how bad you burn it 

  

They love the lop-sided cakes you make for them every year on their birthdays 

  

They don't try to buy your friendships with traditional gifts, but tailor-made ones that they know will please and surprise you 

  

  

They let you rant and listen to every word (no matter how many times you've repeated yourself) 

  

You can eat a bowl of chocolate-chip cookie dough with them and share the sickness afterward (oh but its worth it!) 

  

They bring chicken soup over when you are sick 

  

They bring you chocolate when you need it (which is most of the time hehe) 

  

They are willing to listen to you list all of their bad qualities when you are angry with them (even when they know that you love them anyway) 

  

They'll list all of your bad habits and qualities in return without ever forgetting what makes them love you.  

  

They are forever... 

  

  

Your post just could not get any better.  I have best friends that I can apply most if not all of those little lines to.  It is just so true.  When being a best friend it truely is an unconditional love that each of you share and if something is going on you can just ride right through it.  Good, bad, ugly and the really REALY UGLY!  But it doesn't matter.  Even when time and distance can come between there is always that feeling of picking up from where you left off.  I got a good GOOD :O) cry and a good laugh out of this.  Brings back memories and gives me the constant good feeling that I have people around me that I can count on no matter what!  Thanks for posting this....it really made my day today!
