Ted: Okay, we HAVE to get Lily out of that apartment. Her roommate is a raccoon.
Robin: I’d offer her my place, but I have dogs and she’s allergic.
Ted: Dogs? I live with her ex-boyfriend. I think she’s more allergic to that.
Robin: What about your place, Barney? I know it’s surrounded in mystery, but it’s gotta have a couch.
Barney: The Fortress of Barnitude?? No way.
Robin: Oh come on. She’s desperate.
Barney: Mmm, normally a prerequisite for the women I bring home, but pass -How I Met Your Mother

Last night Match and I went to Brazil and her husband Chill Guy’s house for dinner. We brought our dog Monkey to introduce to their pit bull to see how well they’d get along. You see, this dinner was much more than dinner with friends. We were in negotiations to become roommates.

In some ways we grow up. We have families, we get married, divorced, but for the most part, we still have the same problems that we did when we were fifteen. No matter how much we grow taller, grow older, we are still forever stumbling, forever wondering, forever young. -Meredith, Grey’s Anatomy

Friday night Match and I went to the city, and it was such a blast! We got to see my old friend Bambino, a friend from college that I’ve known for a little over 5 years. Just like I promised Match, they got along great. I loved Bambino’s place because it was one of those bar/restaurant’s that makes you feel like family. We sat at the bar and ate our food while Bambi mixed us drinks and chatted it up with us. Another couple came in and sat with us and we all started talking like old friends. I’m really going to miss that place! Bambino got Match pretty buzzed, which I’d warned him about. On the way home he was tickling me and giggling and telling me how much he needed the stress relief.

Addison: You know there was a time when you thought of me as your best friend—

Derek: There was a time that I thought you were the love of my life. Things change. -Grey’s Anatomy

We’re almost done with the horrid trip down memory lane and the parade of losers from my past. This entry is hard, because it lasted for so long. It’s hard to take 4 years of my life and condense it into one entry, but I’m going to try.

This is the story of my former best friend. We met when I transferred my Junior year of college, and he was one of my first friends at the new school. We had a lot of the same classes, because of our Biology major, and we started studying together and going to lunch. I was going through a hard time with my live in boyfriend at the time (I’ll save him for another story) and Best Friend was there for me. We quickly became inseparable and we were a sight to see walking to class together. He was 6’3 and I am the towering height of 5 feet, so it was kind of funny. People used to smile when we’d walk by because he’d have to hunch down to hear what I was saying.
