Friendship endurance

It’s true what they say, chicky babes always travel in packs. Well not all, but there is certainly plenty out there who prefer the company of other chicky babes for a bit of moral support, a bit of an ego boost, and even for a gentle shove in the right direction.

One of my fellow chicky babe mates is in lust, she has the hots for a lovely chap who we more often than not bump into when we go out. He really is lovely, seemingly rather quiet and perhaps a bit on the shy side, but lovely. That’s where the problem lies, you see my chicky babe mate is also one of the seemingly quiet and shy but lovely types too. Getting these two together to actually relax and have a conversation is entertaining to say the least, their body language screams yes but their faces say otherwise, sheer panic to be precise. Very entertaining.

I’m not one to venture out into the cold dark night on a Friday, I usually tend to stay in and have a movie night with my kiddies and more often than not borrowed kiddies join us. But this Friday night my chicky babe mate needed me. Shy guy plays in a band and invited her to come along and watch him and ‘the boys’ playing at the pub. Sounds easy enough, no? Chicky babe needed me to go with her, so being the ever supportive friend that I am, willing to step in and help lust blossom, (ok.. so I wanted a laugh) I went along. We stayed for the duration which btw was freaken fantastic, and this is the funny part..as soon as the boys finished chicky babe bolted out the door, with nothing more than a rushed ‘Oh hi..and bye’ to shy guy as she fled past him. This had me smirking to myself, I’ve seen her do this many times. If she likes a guy she panics and bolts, leaves the scene. So that was us, on to the next pub to see one of our friends from Salsa playing with his band.

Saturday night was another eventful night for the lusty shy two. Shy guy suggested to chicky babe that she meet him at a particular pub to watch the rugby, to which she told him evasively that she might well do. This is where the extent of chicky babe friendship kicks in, us chicks stick together like glue in times of need, especially if there is a potentially hot new guy on the scene. We had planned a girls night out which involved a hot swim in a river, massage, chick flicks, chocolate, booze and lollies. When she called me I was doing coffee with one of my man friends, (we had been rock climbing with the kids and were in dire need of sit down and drink time) which came to a fast halt. Man friend was curious as to the reason for my need to leave the building asap, I explained to him that I was needed to go to the pub to watch the rugby with chicky babe, and that I was willing to go to the pub for my friend because thats what good friends do etc. He agreed with me there, good point, go.

Did the planned hot swim and massage take place? Sort of, in a roundabout way. While I was hanging out with man friend we went into a shop and sat on some massage/vibrating chairs for 10 minutes which was totally oh so fabulous, so check to the massage. And since we were suddenly rushed for time chicky babe and I opted to have a spa together at my place instead of driving out to the river, so check there too. We did go the pub and we did watch the rugby, although shy guy must have decided to go into hiding because he was nowhere to be seen. (And I did point out to chicky babe that we did in fact seem to be teetering on the stalking side, maybe we should actually stop ‘just happening’ to be everywhere that he says he will be..just a suggestion..and give him your phone number or ask him out ffs..) And yes she is well aware of my preferred ‘grab the bull’ aproach to life. If she doesn’t grab her bull soon I may well grab her and shake her into seeing some commonsense until she takes a risk and does something about this lust of hers.

As for the rest of our night, girls night went ahead, we snuggled up with 2 more of our chicky babe mates and for the first time I watched dirty dancing, we had booze, lollies, chocolate, puddings, and laughs all round. It’s a chick thing.

    What baby wants baby gets..and thats the only bit that caught my attention. To be honest with you Gem I had been at the pub watching the rugby before being tortured with a Patrick Swayze flick, Im sorry doll but he just isn’t sexy!!!

    *splutter* NOT SEXY????? Patrick Swayze??? Have you had your eyes tested recently? Or maybe it’s an age thing, if you had watched Dirty Dancing when you were in your teens, going through school girl angst, he may have had more of an impact on you……but hay, that just means more Swayze for me!!! :)
