I've had a friend for 40 years now bc we were 12, standing in the lunch line at school, and I overheard her say she wanted to be a beautician and cut hair. Someone made a crack about how she'd have a seizure and f it up. I turned around and told that person if I EVER heard them mention her seizure again I would end them. Once a year she, I, and two others I've been friends with just as long take a 4 day, 3 night "girls trip." This year, it's Niagara Falls. Last year was the Finger Lakes, in NY. We grew up together, we're growing old together, and it's a glorious blessing.
I’m 8 years old (1985) and my brother asked me to see if his friend can come out and play. I rang the doorbell and his brother opened the door. He asked me if I wanted to play dinosaurs. We’ve been best friends since!
When I was in high school, I had a friend who was a bit odd. Later we found out he suffered extreme abuse at home. But anyway, he'd shaved his head bald, like quite a few of me and my friends. (I'm not sure why, I think he just wanted to fit in somewhere. I never really talked to him that much, but we had several classes together.) Now, this guy weighs about 300 pounds, always has as long as I've known him. And he'd wear overalls. A lot. So picture this chubby little bald headed introvert who wore overalls all the time, and was always very timid and afraid to stand up for himself or even defend himself. One day in the locker room, a bunch of the football players were walking by taking turns slapping this guy in the head as hard as they could, until he began to cry. Seeing his tears set something off in me that I can't explain. I stood up and yelled "HEY MOTHER FKR!" All the jocks went silent, and all turned and stared at me. So I started slapping my OWN bald head. Hard. Yelling "You want to slap somebody, come slap me! Please!!! Please slap me!!! Please!!!! I'm begging. Do it and see what happens!" Not only did they back off, they didn't pick on him anymore. We were around 15 or 16 at the time. We're both almost 50 now, and he's still one of the best people I've ever known, and one of the best friends I've ever had. Yep, that's how we Gen X fkrs made friends. 😂
It’s like 2001 and the Twin Towers hadn’t got hit yet so it must be summer. Sound Factory is the afterhours club in NYC and I’ve a couple “issues” with the security. I roll up with 4-5 hot chics and they get let right in but one bouncer holds me up and says nah. The girls talk one of the promoters and this dude comes out and finds me sitting on the steps of the building. We talk and he’s like how are you outside and all the chics you came with inside? He basically tells the bouncer this guy gets in permanently for free he’s with me from now on. We went everywhere together and I met my whole crew from that one incident. We were tight for a good 10 years until things went south for most of the crew. But what a spectacular 10 years that was. We killed it in the greatest city on earth, partying better than rockstars and having a life nobody could ever dream of. God Bless fellas.

I trip my best friend and she landed in the mud .... I put a cigarette hole in her new leather jacket and caught her on fire and we are still best friend to this day😊

Love this! I had a cottage on Seneca Lake for years.
@@BecketteW we were supposed to be on Seneca, but our original rental fell through so we ended up on Keuka in Penn Yan. Still had a blast.
