I met my best friend in 5th grade. Our music teacher made us have an in class talent show. Her weird ass sang the Honey Nut Cheerios song, and I laughed til my stomach hurt. I said hi to her in PE, and she told me she always wanted to be my friend but she was scared of me because I cursed a lot. I told her I wouldn't curse her out if she didn't give me a reason to, and we've been best friends ever since.

My next closest friend has the exact first name as my best friend, just spelled differently. Freshmen year, my apartment complex accidentally put her in my apartment as my roommate, and put my best friend somewhere else. We hated each other at first cuz she stole my ham to feed her freeloading boyfriend. As much hell as we went thru, when I really needed her, she was there even though I probably wouldn't have done the same for her. She's been my boo ever since]]> Sun, 06 Jan 2013 01:42:02 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/why-are-they-your-friend_topic353005_post10053112.html#10053112 <![CDATA[Why Are They Your Friend? : I just came back from visiting...]]> http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/why-are-they-your-friend_topic353005_post10053052.html#10053052 Author: TokyoRose

I just came back from visiting my best friend. We were just talking about this and I was like, "So...do you remember how we became friends in the first place?" She couldn't remember, either.

My other best friend from Australia and I were roommates in Japan. The first thing she said was, "So...you're not one of those super neat-freak-types, are you?" I said no, and that was history.

One friend I met through my sibling.

Another I met freshman year of college. We were in the same class. Someone took my seat so I had to sit next to her. I asked if she wanted to be in my group. We bonded over True Blood. She's great. She puts up with my crazy.

I still don't have a BFF to infinity, but she's a great friend.

pity tall?? wooo sah!

but my bestie and I met in the 7th grade.

it was the first day of school...and we had assigned seating in our humanities class. Each desk sat two students.. and we shared a desk.
The first thing she said to me was "that man (our teacher) is cute"

lol.
this is what happens when you are 12...and your teacher is a 22 yr old.. ex/model.

its weird b/c we used to dress alike...but not on purpose. we just had similar taste.. and it showed!
her child is my first god-child.
we are more like family now.
She works w/ my mom. I used to work w/ her mom.
and we call each other...and each other's sisters sisters

We met my freshman year at college; she was an upperclass-woman. Her roommate was also a freshman that I met at Pre-O. I met her thru that friend. She and I started doing things together and we bonded. We used to say why didn't we get put together as roommates. She introduced me to her friends which became mine too. And we're still together!]]> Sat, 05 Jan 2013 23:09:15 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/why-are-they-your-friend_topic353005_post10052829.html#10052829 <![CDATA[Why Are They Your Friend? : my first best friend i met inkindergarten...our...]]> http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/why-are-they-your-friend_topic353005_post10052805.html#10052805 Author: femmefatale85

I met my best friend in kindergarten.

She had the Ariel barbie I had been wanting so I asked if we could play with it together, been friends ever since.

My other friends and I met in high school.

I befriended one girl in our American History class, she introduced me to the rest of her group.

We lost one girl but the rest of us are still tight despite the fact that we're all scattered around the state.

My guy friends are mostly friends of my boyfriend, so we all met through him.

The rest I met at my local community college.

Ok I am a bit nostalgic. I was just thinking about some of my good friends and how we became friends.

Are there certain people you became friends with because of something they did or said?

My best friend first became my friend back in middle school when she stopped me out of the blue to ask if I wanted to play on her recreational basketball team because they needed more girls. I did and loved it. Basketball kept me on track and motivated me to go to school and college. If she hadn't asked, I probably wouldn't have been as dedicated to the game. She was good and seeing her ball inspired me to ball.

In elementary school, my godsister always sat on the school bus by herself. She would get off at the stop before mines, so we lived close. One day I sat down next to her and said hello. We sat together every day after that and played together sometimes after school. We claim each other as godsisters because we wanted to be family.

This one lady I used to work with had the most amazing laugh. It would be quiet in the office and out of nowhere she would start cracking up about something she was listening to on the radio. Her laugh made me laugh. So I started making small talk with her and we became really good friends.

My male best friend became my friend when he called me after my childhood best friend was murdered to give his condolences. They used to be boyfriend/girlfriend in elementary. He and I started talking on the phone, hanging out and hooping together ever since that phone call.
