I am a bad friend

Posted: March 8th, 2010 | Author: supafamous | Filed under: Personal | 2 Comments »

In the past couple weeks a couple of my friends have had birthdays and I haven’t wished them happy birthdays yet. It’s mostly because I don’t want to remind them of their age since they are both women – ok, it’s because my iPhone didn’t remind me.

In any case I’m making amends here to Tina and Thao – both are my age yet both are younger than I am, possibly due to heaps of Botox or possibly the gym (I will say the former, you can believe the latter – Thao lives in Yaletown so Botox rates as probable!).

I met Thao through a program called “Student Connections” about 13 years ago and I met Tina on the internet about 9 years ago.  I suppose I’m proof that you can have meaningful, long term relationships with women that you’ve met either through programs with sketchy names or through a sketchy device invented by sex-less nerds.

At 13 and 9 years respectively, I think this puts them into my 10 longest friendships category which means if I get married they get invited. How they put up with my jokes which range from racial (not racist!) to sexist to all sorts of offensive black humour (no, not the N-word!) I don’t know but put up with it they do.

So Happy Birthday to Thao and Tina!

    Thanks, Eric! Don’t feel bad – I think I always forget yours, even though I’m in your 10 oldest friends category. :)

    I don’t forget yours, so I guess you DO suck lol.

    BTW, it should be your “10 longest friendships” category instead :)
