I have the world's most wonderful friends. Without my friends, I probably would not be here today.

Tonight...after my usual Thursday night club meeting...I didn't feel like going back to my room so my friend decided to basically drive me around wherever I wanted. We ended up driving aimlessly for almost 2 hours.

We had moments of uncontrollable laughter, reminiscing about the past, thinking about our future and even getting freaked out over a long stretch of dark, twisty road. After driving around, he dropped me off at my cousin's so I could chill with her for a bit. It was 2:30am when I finally left her place, and I walked out to the bus stop to wait for a shuttle bus (unofficially called the "drunk bus") to take me back to my dorm, because the regular buses were done running. While walking, I started to get scared and was really freaked about the dark road (street lamps were all out!) and possible dangers that could befall a young girl walking alone at night. I called up my friend (the same one who wasted 2 hours of his life driving me around) and he stayed on the phone with me and made sure I was alright until I was picked up.

I'm totally rambling...but I could not have asked for a better friend. Even though I probably woke him up, he made like it was no bother and tried to calm my nerves. At one point, I was so scared I almost started crying. But hearing his voice on the other end assured me that he will be there in a heartbeat if somethnig were to happen to me.

That is what a true friend is. And I am so grateful to have him in my life. Even now, thinking about how scared I was....I can't stop the tears from falling. I am so lucky to have someone who will be there...without a question...without a second's hestitation for me. I am truly blessed to have such an amazing friend.

Sorry if this is dumb...but I just needed to tell SOMEONE how i feel....and what better way than through ATOT?

Oh yeah, why don't you invest in some Mase or other pepperspray? Carry it in your purse, and for nights like that, walk around with it in your hand. Don't bother with stun guns, they malfunction. I had one, and i didn't even do anything to it... it just hung on my wall, and one day i decided to go change the battery (was sitting there for over a year), it didn't work!

well, when you walk around with a blue surgeon's mask, people tend to think you have sharp objects with you :)

1. Ninjas are mammals.

2. Ninjas fight ALL the time.

3. The purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people.

I see your point. :D

Huh...as amazing as that sounds...I still say spider-man has more amazing friends. I mean, they made a TV show about spiderman and his AMAZING friends on top of a regular spiderman cartoon. They HAVE to be amazing. :p

EDIT:
One question: You're not spiderman are you?
