You know, being on JJB makes me feel insanely grateful for my friends. Not a one of them would question driving me home in this situation-all have gladly done it and I have done similar stuff in return for them. Like, thank GOD I do not have friends like Julia and kitty and geoff where it is somehow selfish or entitled to do small things for your friends and have them done in return as well. I seriously don't think I could even survive if I was surrounded by people with that attitude or if that was the attitude I returned.

I guess that is normal though so it makes me cling to the friends I do have even more. Reminds me I should be grateful for them!

My friends would make the drive. You say this about parents, friends, teachers, everything somebody doesn't have a perfect something of. But anyway, my friends would most likely make the drive but eventually you grow up and when someone says "You know, after the long trip I just don't want to make the 30 minute drive (which ends up being an hour)" then I wouldn't freak out and call them a bad friend. Honestly, I probably wouldn't make the hour drive after a trip like that.


That's understandable but that's the kind of decision you make BEFORE the day of the trip. If you already told someone you would make the trip and then wait until you're all about to leave to say "By the way, I'm thinking about it and I'm just gonna be too tired to make the extra trip." then that's just wrong.

You can back out of doing something, but use better timing.
