what is a friend?

Well I'm writing in here now because I just got home from handbell practice at church and tried to call Seth but he has to call me back because they were having "Family Time"... oops... I think they are like playing a game or something.

Normally in this journal I don't gossip or talk about other people unless it is in a good light. But I'm gonna rant about something that happened today because well its my journal and thats the way it is. I won't use names though. For security reasons they will be referred to as Friend 1, Friend 2 and Friend 3. Well we usually eat lunch together. My mom didn't have money for me this morning so I brought some soup. Everyone else said that they would eat pizza from the field house and that we'd all eat on campus today. Well Friend 1 had some issues with her check and school pictures so she needed to get that straitened out first. I warmed up my soup in Mrs. Cutlip's room while Friend 1 went to get her stuff straitened out and Friend 2 and Friend 3 went ahead over to the fieldhouse. Moments later, Friend 1 and I headed over to the field house just as they were sold out of pizza. Friend 2 and Friend 3 had two big slices of pizza each. But neither one of them would spare any for Friend 1, who had no food. SO, Friend 1 and I had to walk all the way across the street and wait in a huge line so that Friend 1 could get something to eat. This made me kind of disappointed that Friend 2 and Friend 3 wouldn't just give Friend 1 some of their pizza. After all, Friend 1 would have done that for either of them. It really disappointed me that they had to be like that. SO, I talked to both Friend 2 and Friend 3 about it. Friend 3 admited that she wasn't in a good mood and that she should have been nicer and that she was sorry. However Friend 2 believed that she was justified in what she was doing and that Friend 1 should have been in line earlier. Now this isn't pizza I'm worried about. Its friendship. And I know and you know that friends shouldn't treat friends like that. And I also realize we make mistakes and bad decisions sometimes. But we should also admit we were wrong and hurtful and should also apologize. I hope Friend 2 comes to her senses and back to the friend I know she is and does apologize. Ok now that I've confused you with my story I'll stop now!

Today was picture day. (Which I mentioned in the rant above). I don't think mine are gonna turn out good. Mostly because it felt like I was getting a drivers lisence picture taken. I barely had time to sit down and smile a little before he snapped it and said "thanks". I'm not buying them thankfully... I'm getting nice senior pictures taken later, but these pictures still go in the yearbook. Oh well I rarely look good in school pictures. I almost always have like something messed up w/my hair or a funny smile on my face or I'm looking the wrong way or something. Yea... I'm not that photogenic.

Well I've wasted enough time on here now. I'm going to go upstairs and watch some tv or something while I'm waiting for Seth to call...ahh and theres the phone...poo its my dad's cousin... oh well I'm really leaving now. TTFN!
