Getting on my soapbox

December 16th 2007 21:23

As an adult I now see how stupid teenage girls are when it comes to crushes.
My friend S is having problems at the moment due to a 15 year old girl and her crush... or rather obsession with him.

She started out as the nice daughter of one of his other friends. So he didn't see any problem with talking to her on IM or the occasional text, just to be friendly. But, maybe as her hormones are doing the typical teen thing, she has developed a crush on him.
Now obviously she won't admit its a crush. In fact she is determined she has strong feelings for him. She is convinced that she is falling for him and won't accept that:

1. She's 15, he's 26 and has no interest in her in that way at all.
2. He has a family, albeit a complicated one.

I know it doesn't affect me in any way that she fancies him. But he's a close friend of mine and she's driving him crazy. He's scared to use IM and spends hours ignoring his phone so he doesn't have to field calls and texts from her constantly. He is even scared to work if he knows she'll turn up.
It's getting more and more like he has a stalker.

She thinks she knows him really well, but in reality she knows nothing substantial and she won't learn much either.
Why doesn't she just get over it and move on.

I know thats hard to do when you think your in love, but she has to realise that she isn't and soon before she gets seriously hurt. One day soon he's gonna snap and tell her he has no interest in her and that's gonna hurt her like hell.
Then again S is way too nice for his own good. He might not ever tell her to stop and he'll be the one that gets hurt. If that ever happens I'll be there for him, but it shouldn't have to happen .

Long Lost Friends

December 14th 2007 22:10

aren't always lost forever!

I had a friend when I was 15 called G. He was a good friend who I loved dearly, but I lost contact with him after knowing him around 6 months.

It took me 7 years of searching, calling every phone number attached to his surname in 8 towns across the UK and posting leaflets through doors on his parents street to find him again. But I did.

Now we've been speaking again for around 6 months and we're still going strong. I've asked him to be bridesman at my wedding and he's promised me an invite to his.

G is an amazing friend, who's always there when I need him. He's full of common sense and has a joke for every occasion.

Here's to you G, thanks for coming back and being there again!

Puff the Magic Dragon...

December 14th 2007 22:04

I had another close friend in my teens. He was and still is a light to me. He has the ability to lift weights from my shoulders with a single smile and can calm me without a single word.

We had some good times together as teens and they stick with me forever.
T taught me how to live and how to love.

We spent most of our time writing notes to each other in an old exercise book rather than talking. Which may strike some people as odd but it was just our way. I kept the book for many years as I grew up but I got misplaced at some time or other, but I still remember much of what was written as though it was yesterday.

I remember sitting on a hill one day and the song "puff the magic dragon" was running through my mind for no reason at all, so I wrote it in the book. This made T laugh loudly. A laugh that is as contagious as a yawn. From then on the song stuck with us and to this day we still mention it when we speak.

We went camping one evening with some friends. None of the others were classed to me as close friends when I look back, but they were people I loved to spend time with.
The camping trip wasn't planned, we just pitched our tent next to the nearby woods.
It was a small tent, designed for 2 men. Yet 8 of us went camping that evening, built a campfire and had some fun.
As the evening went on we all found we were hungry so a few friends walked to the nearby asda to buy some food. We got potatoes and tried to cook them on the fire, resulting in very burned spuds. T got the blame automatically, and we laughingly tried to throw him on the fire. Running around the hill we were camping on, we were all falling around laughing as he ran around shouting "it burns". He'd not been near the fire, and for that reason we all cracked up.

We decided at around midnight, to move the tent to the bottom of the hill and go to bed.
Fitting 8 people in a tent was never going to be easy, but we managed to squeeze in just as it started to rain.
At first we couldn't work out why we were getting wet, until it clicked. We had moved the tent into a ditch, that was slowly filling with water. Needless to say, by 3am we all gave up and went home.

A few weeks later, T and I began dating for around the 4th time in the 2 years we had known each other. We were never made to be together and within a week we were writing an argument in our book. From that point onwards we decided we were better off being friends. Slowly we drifted apart, and now our friendship consists of the odd hi and occasional email.
But friendship lasts forever, and I know ours will too

Sam r.i.p

December 14th 2007 21:13

Sam was one of the very few close friends I had as a child. He was one in a million and made many memories for me.

I remember warm evenings, spending time sat near a river near to my home just chatting about anything and everything

Kiddie Years

December 14th 2007 21:02

Walking past the house I lived in with Mother and Stepdad still brings back more and more memories.
Outside the house is the main street with a turning circle, with two islands marking out the roadway. All of the children on the street used to play outside on here all day long in the summer. Running between the islands or playing games like bulldog or hide and seek. The street was quiet, and everyone knew each other.
I remember across the road from us was quite a large family in a 3 storey house

Have you seen my childhood?

December 13th 2007 15:29

I think I lost it somewhere in the late 90s.
Yup, it went away when I realised it was time to grow up and actually do something with the life I had.
All thats left is memories of a few years. Years that I wished would stick around forever
