And you are SO right. There really is no such thing as a Best friend in my world. I "use" each of my friends for something different. And where one friend lacks, another picks up the slack. And it works. And I'm happy that way. I'd be happier if I could actually see my friends more often but... xobeccahttp://www.dramaformama.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201961112490811175.post-48720817445737564482010-10-02T06:39:26.771-04:002010-10-02T06:39:26.771-04:00So well written and so timely for me this year.

It is very upsetting to witness.<br />Tends to push my buttons as we have all been theree.<br />Thanks for keeping it real and enjoy your date!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942300231374421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201961112490811175.post-43649635831897569492010-10-01T22:56:53.323-04:002010-10-01T22:56:53.323-04:00This reminds me of that forward that goes around n...This reminds me of that forward that goes around now and again about the circle of women and how each woman is different type of friend, etc. You've said it much better than I can right now. <br /><br />Also - eavesdropping here, but I loved "Committed" much more than "Eat.

Female fr...BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN LIZ!!!!!! Again!!!!<br /><br />Female friendships can be hard.<br /><br />I have lots of friends and have never really had one best friend - and I'm glad about that really. I also have groups of friends with whom I discuss different things and have differing levels of intimacy - you wrote about that so beautifully, it was spot on. I feel I need that, I think as you get older (and a little more experienced friendship-wise), I think you know who you can trust with what information - and also what YOU need from the friendship.<br /><br />I am SO glad that my 9 yr old daughter is a "group" girl which so far - with the nature of some of the girls in her class - has spared her no end of heartache. She has been friends with a fairly large group of girls since she started school at age 5 and so far so good. There is definitely bitchiness and meanness going on in her class though, UGH, it is beyond horrible :(<br /><br />I am so glad that you agreed with my comment about "Eat, Pray, Love" - the fact that you thought it too makes me feel so much better LOL! I loved the book and think I sort of knew that the movie might not be great - I think there was just too many complexities in the books, too much substance - and it just wasn't in the movie - at all. It's impossible to not like Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem is GORGEOUS....I was so disappointed with the "India" part of the movie though, to me that was probably the best part of book. Oh well. I will order "Committed" though - let me know what you think of it when you finish it.<br /><br />Loved your comment over at mine today - nope, she doesn't have two small children LOL!!<br /><br />Happy Week-end Liz xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07435722126028910012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201961112490811175.post-48661583581011780712010-10-01T16:23:20.573-04:002010-10-01T16:23:20.573-04:00I have nothing wise or interesting to say except t...I have nothing wise or interesting to say except that I so, so get what you're saying here.

I am just too loud and obnoxious and socially inept in all the wrong ways. Sigh. But, I have learned to embrace all the wonderful friendships in my life. Like you said, they are all different. <br />That's not to say that I still dream about being old with some Ya-Ya's. I really think Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are meant to be my besties.
