I Really Wouldn't Change My Friends For Anything


I’ve definitely been slacking with this whole blog writing fandango. Not being at uni should have meant I should have lots of time to write, well far bloody from it.

All I do with my life is work, for those that don’t know I work at McDonlads and don’t get me wrong I do love my job just when you are there all the time, well yeah you don’t love it as much.

Needless to say my job has recently got me into a little bother. I was very much looking forward to going to a festival with the uni girls, like a complete and utter idiot I fought I had booked it off, yeahh when the shifts went up my heart was in my mouth when I saw I was working the BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND of the festival.  I was not stupid enough to even ask anyone about doing my late shifts as all the lucky buggers would have been hitting the town hard or at Reading or Leeds (grrrrrr).

The moment you have to tell your best friend that you can’t go to Reading is one of the worst things ever (I exaggerate a little, but it still wasn’t very nice).  And I did and still do feel like one of the worst friends ever. 
What choices did I have:
To ring work and say I wasn’t doing the shift, one I am not that brave, work would eat me alive and two I really didn’t want to lose my job.
Or to sell my ticket and not go, this leading to me being a terrible friend.

Okay I am rambling a little, there is a point I am trying to make.

What really makes someone a bad friend? Forgetting to book a weekend off work in my opinion is not that bad, okay be a little mad for a few days but at the same time realise it’s not just you that missed out on having your best friend at the festival they missed out on it all together.

And not talking to someone for what seems like forever until you two get close again and it feels like you can tell them everything. Not talking to someone can’t make a bad friend. In my eyes friendship isn’t about telling someone what you are doing when you are doing it (yes I did bbm my best friend telling her about my dog pooing a stupid amount on our walkies, but hey someone needs to laugh at the thought of it).

The fact is if anyone ever needed anything of me I really would try my hardest to help, need that be listen or to help with what they needed. The fact is I do think I am a good friend to most people and I hope people think I am a good friend to them.

Sometimes I guess you just need to think this will really hurt my friend so I’m not gonna do it or say it. Friendship is one of the best things in life, where the hell would we all be without it?
