meet peter...

likely to be the only guy friend ever to make it onto the old blog here, peter is the male sounding board in my life. we've been friends since the first day of college when he was roommates with one of my high school friends, i made quite the first impression by kicking him out of my car that first day like a total bitch and i haven't stopped bothering him since. and he'll be the first to tell you that i provide him with way TMI about shit, all the time, more than any guy should ever have to listen to...and yet we're still friends...he's obviously a glutton for punishment.

peter is a serious redneck...ok, not like a southern redneck, more like an upstate new york hick, but a smart one. i guess you could say he's a guys guy; he hunts, fishes, snow mobiles, 4-wheels, works on his house and cars, etc. he has a pretty dope job working for an environmental engineering firm, hence his smarts. however, peter is more anal retentive than me, i didn't know that was possible until i met him, ask anyone.

his family is like my second family, i love them so much and enjoy visiting them during the few visits i make to their hometown each year...especially when his mom cooks for me, they're italian, yumm. his mom, sister and i like to gossip too when we get together despite his best efforts to keep us from doing so. his hometown friends are pretty cool too, i pretend they are my best friends too and friend them on facebook and talk to them behind his back all the time...is that weird?

no matter the distance or the time in between, peter and i have remained great friends. like i said, he deals with all my nonsense and crazy girl stories and dramatic events, always listening, offering as best advice he can, and never complains. i'd like to say i do the same for him, but dragging information out of him is like pulling teeth. and the minute i try to talk about anything serious, like the girlfriends in his life he gets tight-lipped...but i still talk his ear off and give him unsolicited advice all the same...like date girls within a 5 year age range of yourself!!! although, i'm quite happy with his current girlfriend, she has the blair-seal-of approval!

i hate that we don't get to see each other that often, but when we do it's like we haven't skipped a beat...that's the sign of a true friend for sure...
