We all have friends. I have friends at the IRS who ask me to visit every year and want to know all about me. Then there is my friendly neighborhood cop who stopped this morning to ask about my backyard garden. Can’t forget my friends at the Smiling Loan Company who plan to send someone to play with me with a baseball bat.
You should like the person for who and what they are. The size of their circle of friends is part of who they are since they are probably a more loyal friend than someone who has a ton of acquaintences they call friends.
My first impression was that Mona was more concerned with the quality of her friends than the quantity, but you all are probably closer to the mark.
It’s true that after Donna, M. Smokey, and Pierre (do brothers count as friends?), the only one I can think of is Lucas (and that’s the meeting I’ve been waiting to see), but that’s an…interesting group. When she’d first met the select group of MY close friends, my girlfriend asked me “Don’t you know any normal people?!?”
I think she was mostly concerned with what it might indicate about her…
Yah, but it’s sweet and unselfish that Ryan wants to meet her friends, rather than be taken to all these glitzy, tourist-y things. Less, fun……………but…………..

This one would be difficult. Let’s think back to Hollywood….

The dangers of being a major introvert: having to explain your itty bitty group of friends to an extrovert without looking like a total loser.

No explanation is necessary, ej.

Dr. T: “[N]ormal people are boring.”
They don’t make for entertaining comic strip characters, that’s for sure.

“We’re going to Disneyland!”
(Or Wally-World, if Ms. Babcock’s worried about lawyers…)
It’s the Happiest Place on Earth! Ryan will have a ball, and Mona can catch up on her contempt…

Yeah, fritzoid, my husband thought my friends were strange, too. I told him “just wait ‘til you meet my family.”

Since when are people you tried to kill friends?

“This is a HAPPY occasion! Let’s not bicker and argue over ’who killed who…’!”
