How did you meet your best friend?

[Toby's my baby]

We were talking about how we met our best friends today, where, from another person, or just randomly... how did you meet yours?? - not segnifigant others please -


-------

I switched schools this year, so didn't know hardly anybody except my boyfriend at the school. I haven't never got along with other females that much, they usually cause too much drama and talk about each other too much, it just drives me crazy. Being a twin, me and my sister got stopped in the hallways a lot to "get compared" and see if people could tell us apart. Well, there was this other set of twins too, a year older than us. The one girl was good friends with my boyfriend (which i didn't know at the time) and they talked a lot, and whenever I was with him, she would always come and talk to him and it drove me crazy!! There came a time when I actually thought he had cheated on me with her or he liked her or something. I found out that they were really close friends, and that she, like me, didn't get along well with other girls either. Ever since we were introduced to eachother, we have been great friends. I introduced her to the guy she is dating now, so it is a lot of fun for the four of us (me and my boyfriend, and her and her boyfriend) to hang out, because we are all really good friends. It's hard to believe that I really didn't like her at one time, because I thought she had a thing for my boyfriend. lol

I met my best friend, Zographia, in school about 5 years ago. She was in my pottery class and we were both incredibly shy. Naturally, we kind of grouped together in class because we were too shy to talk to anyone else. We ended up sitting together during lunch, class, etc.

Now we call eachother almost every night and hang out as much as our scheduals permit.

I have two best friends that I couldn't choose between.

The one I met in 5th grade. My dad's friend's daughter became friends with her and then we all started to hang out and well we have been crazy best friends ever since. I've never got into a stupid petty girl fight with her ever and I can talk to her about ANYTHING. We have alot in common with the way we think about things and everything.

My other friend I met in girl guides when I was little but we were never friends. I knew her just as the girl I went to guides with in school. Well the friend above had classes with her and after she broke up with her boyfriend last spring she started hanging out with us because her other friends wer being mean to her and we just hit it off right away and became inseperable. We are known as the loud annoying ones out of our friends and are alot alike in that way. I've only been friends with her for less then a year and I've done some things to hurt her alot but I think that made us even better friends once we got over that.

I have alot in common with both of them but everything in common is different for both of them. I don't like other girls very much and really only have 2 close girl friends I have one other good friend but I don't talk to her much. The rest of my friends are guys.

I had no best friends until I came on Pet Talk. Now I have the bestest friends in the whole wide world.

I met my two best friends at work. One no longer works with me but we are still friends. I'm talking about the kind of friend you can tell anything. My third best friend, I met on Pet Talk.

I have 5 best friends that I can't choose between.

the first one I met in the 4th grade. I was the new girl and school and kept on following her around everywhere since I was so shy nobody would talk to me and we would hang out all the time.

the 2nd best friend I met in the 6th grade and I was the new girl in school again and lived right across the street from her. I don't live too far away from her now.

my 3rd best friend, I met in 4-h and are both horse nuts. We would always hang out and her parents divorced so she moved away. but we still get to see each other.

and my other 2 best friends I met here on pet talk.

I met my best friend, Todd, when he tried to pick me up in a bar. I told him I had a boyfriend, and we ended up chatting and then going out to breakfast at a 24 hour diner. He was so embarassed after trying to pick up a taken woman that he wouldn't take my number, so I got his instead. Now he's great friends with me and my BF.

[Alysser]

Well one, I met last year in 7th grade. She moved here from Florida, and we just hit it off I guess. We fight constantly but we get over it lol... You all know her as I_luv_rusty.

One is my neighbor. Me and her have fought majorly(I wouldnt even call it that) once and we've been friends for almost a year. She's in 7th grade.

2 I knew already, but we really didn't talk until last year and we were really good friends. Now we are best friends.

My friend, Rachel, I've known for sooooo long. I met her in elmentry school but we didn't talk much because I guess we weren't in the the same classes. Now we are best friends again.

One I got as a gift after open heart surgery, she's in my siggy. The other is also a little white bird that goes by the name of "star".

I have yet to I have so many aquaintances and "friends" at school but I haven't hung out with anyone in over 2 years and it's really taking a tole on me. Every time I try and set something up it just backfires. Besides, socializing is a very taxing endevor.

Well, it was my first school year here in UT. I came here nervous, confused, not knowing ANYONE at all. My first hour was gym and a girl named Nekabari came over, introduced herself, and introduced me to my now-best friend, Trisha. Although I'm still close to Nekabari, too. Me and Trisha have gotten to know each other more and more over the last few months and now we are inseperable! (sp?) I can talk to her about anything and everything, and vice versa. We just talked on the phone for our longest today... 3 1/2 hours!! And let me say that I am not a phone person. lol

And of course, I guess you could consider my boyfriend my best friend also. Trisha introduced me to him, because they are close friends.

[I_luv_rusty]

Well I have a few

Alyssa, (like she said above) I was like the new kid when I moved from Florida last year. She was in my LA class and we just started talking in class and then I saw her on my bus around the first/second week of school and I was like Am I on the wrong bus? Then we found out that she lived down the street from me.

I met alot of my friends through friends. Rachel through alyssa, and she was in my SS class (in 7th) so I sort of talked to her in there then we became good friends. Then Mica, I met through my friend Jazmin. She was in SS and LA so then we became good friends. Now theres some people I met this year through friends that were becoming good friends but not their yet. Theirs a few more people, but mainly these are my best best best friends that I can pretty much tell anything to.

Then I have 2 best friends in Florida. I met them both because they were new and sat next to me. Then we pretty much talked and one of them all through 5th i didn't talk (we were in no class together) but then in 6th we were best friends again. I remember how that one would fight over me with this girl in my class, cuz they both wanted me to just be all for them haha. But even though were so far apart now and I never see them, we still online constantly and through emails/myspace. The other day on myspace my best friends from like kindergarden-2nd grade requested me, its scary how I hadn't talked to me in forever (since like 6th grade) and then she just found me on myspace.

My true best friend I met through school. Our last names are very close, so we were always seated next to each other from 3rd grade and stayed best friends into college. Even though I rarely talk to him anymore and I haven't seen any of my friends from back home in years, I'd still consider him my best friend. My best friend here I met through work and ended up being roommates even though we don't work for the same company any more.

I met my best friend when her family moved into our neighborhood. I was in 4th grade, so I guess that means we've been friends for about 22 years. She lives in St. Louis now, so we don't see each other as often as used to.

I have 3 other "best friends" from school, one grew up in my neighborhood and I've known since I was about 4-5, one I met playing softball in 3rd grade, and another that I went to school with and met when I was a freshman. The first two still live in my home town, about 45 minutes away, the other lives here in Toledo. Although I'm not sure all 5 of us have managed to get together at the same time recently, 4 of us (not always the same 4), seem to figure it out every so often.

Another best friend, I met at work about 6 years ago. She changed jobs 4 years ago, and talked me into coming over to the same company a year later.

I've had a few best friends in my life. I met Julia in the the 6th grade. I was new to that school, and Julia invited me to her 13th birthday party. That was 11 years ago now! I don't get to see her that much because I live in Denver and she lives in Houston, but we see each other when we can and talk on the phone.

I still know my best friend from kindergarten, too! I haven't seen her in a few years, because I moved away in the 3rd grade, but we still write to each other.

I also have two good friends that I met in college, when we all lived in Russia together. We have all moved to different places though so I don't get to see them either!

[Sophist]

I met my best friend through an old job. People were (and still are) shocked when we became friends. He's a man in his fifties who's very anti-religion and anti-politics. I was a teenage girl who taught sunday school and was running for office. We've actually seen each other through some really tough times, and have been best friends for about 7 or 8 years now.
