[Persona]

[COLOR=Red][SIZE=2][B]Warning:[/B][/SIZE] If you despise or get sick when it comes to gushy stuff...this is not for you...you have been warned[/COLOR].[COLOR=Pink]xoxo[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed]Alright I had gone out just yesterday evening with my two best friends and we did something that made me think about things. So I wanted to discuss it with you lovely OB members. My question is do any of you members have a best friend tradition, if so what does it represent to you?

Well I'll go first of course. When I usaully just go out with my two girls to the mall (Its a huge place and has the cinemas), we always buy something that represents us and take a picture to remember the moment. Well yesterday was a bit different, we usaully buy three things for each of us...but this time we got one thing. I don't know if you guys heard of, "Build a Bear Workshop". We hard a little trouble choosing a bear...<.<...but then we decided on this cute light brownish bear. After that I felt like a five year old jumping up and down and taking a heart and rubbing it on you heart, head and hands for lots of love (We each took a heart and put it in the bear. The we dressed it up upon our personality...and we adopted a bear. Now we came to terms of who would take it first...then the next and the last. This means something different...it means a closer bond. To trust eachother with one item for an amount of time... think its good..and it doe mean a lot to me even though it may sound childish (Mind you I'm 19). But then again we're only kids once..so its good to live a childish momments with your best friends. So overall it also means that I've gotten to tust them fully...that goes for them as well.

So members what about you?[/COLOR]

T_T I wish I had friends as good as that.

I've had a best friend in every house I've lived in, but none that were THAT special. Usually, my little brothers have a best friend that becomes my best friend as well as we hang out more. No friends at all in this house, though. :animesigh :animecry: :animedepr

Well me and my friends what we usually do is that we usualy hang out but july 2005 we built a tree house yeah i know that is very childish but we wanted to work together and biuld something so we biult a tree house it was big and had lots of room we would go up there and sit and hang out we took pic's we also would draw and make comics we had so much fun in the tree house we even engraved in the boards our names to show that we would always be friends well her cousins destroyed it but we still rebuilt it. this was important to me because me and my friend had done something all by ourselves and we had teamwork it also showed how much we got along :animesmil

[size=1]There's a Build-A-Bear in the mall near me; and it scares me each time I pass by. It's just too, too happy, lol.

Anyway, a tradition me and my best friends had...First, let me explain the best friends, hehe. When I lived in Oklahoma, I was a junior fire-fighter for a volunteer fire department; and me and my girlfriend were the only girls. But, all of the guys accepted us as "one of the guys" and treated us like little sisters. It was good fun, and we all became very close. So, after every fire we all hung out at the fire station to talk about the fire and all that stuff. Afterwards, a few of us would all go out for food; usually coffee or something.

Doesn't sound very fun, but it was just something we all did. And if it were during the summer, after the fires, everyone would come over to my house and we'd go swimming in the pool, and have pizza ^_^ I miss those days....[/size]

A tradition that I do with best friends is that I....wait! I don't have a tradition.
Me and Lashawn used to always go to Burger King together and sit at the same place, and always order the same thing. We also used to ditch school together. I guess that counts. We did this until I moved and her phone got cut off.

[Persona]

[COLOR=DarkPink]Nomad it's cool, it does take time for special things like that...but overall the most important thing that out dues a tradition is communication between friends. The tree house sounds fun, I laways wanted to make one when I was 10. If I did have one I might as well always been there for piece and quiet. Overall your friend and you built something, which is cool.

Now Annie's was the most interesting...fire fighting! That must have been a good experience and exciting. This beats my tradition <.<...lol. And the Burger King thing, when i was in high school, my group of friends and I would hang out at the BK for hours...eating, joking, homework...it weas the school hangout place (BG was right across our school...).[/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]Interesting topic...I'll have to think now...*shakes fist at Simplicity*...rriiiiiiight.

Anyways, me and my bestist-best best-friend, Vicky...many, many different traditions there...lol. First, I'll give you a little bit of a history, just so you can understand a little.

Vicky is two years younger than I am (I'm 19), and we dated off and on for two years. Then, we decided that we were only friends, and now, after over a decade of friendship, we've become room-mates...almost (three months to move-out).

On to the tradition...s. Well, since we have quite a few, I'll just put down the ones we do the most often. Basically, since we live, like, not even a five minute walk from each other, we walk around our neighborhood. We walk, and walk, and walk, and walk, for hours at a time. What we do during those hours does vary, but most of the time we just talk about...whatever, really. Sometimes we debate on random topics, complain about family, or just plane out ***** about life, work, friends...you get the idea. After we walk, and walk, etc, we go to either her house or mine, sit on the couch, listen to music, drink tea, and talk even more...about more random shtuff.

Well, that's the one we do most often...if I were to write every tradition we have, I'd be writing for at least 12 hours...meh. I'll do it another day, when I didn't work for 10 hours through the night...meh.

Ciao! ^.^

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Green]I don't happen to have a tradition with just one friend, that we do all the time, but a group of my friends and I do have some traditions that date back almost on 5 years now.
One of the things we do is our Christmas dinner. All of us now happen to be in college, and we go to various schools. But, every year, a few days before Christmas, we always get together and have a party. Usually, we'll go to a restaurant, have dinner, and then over to someone house for a gift exchange and gaming all night long (boardgames and videogames) I find its a really great time because we can all get together and play catch-up, see what each of us have been up to in our fall sessions, and how everything else in general is going for us all.
We also have a "Yay, summer break" party, much like the X-mas one, except no gift giving.
Another thing we do is that during the summer, we often get together and play soccer. It's created a lot of good memories for us all, (including giving me an injury or two)
I'm glad all of us are still friends even though we're out of high school.

It's been a long time, and I need to do it again especially now that I live in the mountians.

Anyhow... So begins the sagas of "extreem tubbing!"

For a while Every sunday we'd pile up 7 or so people and go eat at CC's pizza since they had all you can eat buffet. (You better all-you-can-eat) Needless to say, afterwords we were all so full we had to walk around a bit before any of us could even comptimplate getting in a car w/o getting sick. So we were walking, and there was a target nearby, and summer had just drawn to a close. We idly browse throught the store untill we come to the clearance section, and we see childrens' wading pools. They're 2 bucks. My Fridn Jonsey's all like "I'm going to buy one!" and we're all like WTF? For what? Several minutes pass. No, I mean several.. probably 15, we'd walked away. Jonesy randomly says "I dunno... I could slide down a hill in it or something." We all look at him like he's stupid, because as we all know South GA is FLAT. He buys it anyways. So we're standing outside Target with this Kid's pool. There's a slight incline behinds the store. He sits down and doesn't move at all. It was then that we discovered the large piles of dirt from construction next door. We approached , and all was good. You could easily slide down this hill. Soon afterwords it became an obsession to find things we could slide down in thse tubs. The gravel quary was great other than the few times you'd fall out of the tub and have a nice 2 story roll in gravel. :P Best of all we found this huge enbankment next to the interstate exit. It was soon taken up a level to running down the guardrale and diving down the hill, then to standing up. Then to 360s standing up, then to... well More nuttiness and more serious injuries. It just sucked when you'd be speeding down a hill at night and suddenly find an ant-hill.

I can't think of too many times we did this where I wouldn't come home bleeding or with dirt and grass in some orface it didn't belong.

Ahhh good times. (That and my friend dennis invented his signature move "The face brake". think about it for the moment. Laugh like we did.)

One tradition that I have with my best friend is our coffee dates. We set aside a day, away from work, husbands, kids and other responsibilities and meet up for lattes. After chatting over a tasty mug of coffee we run around town shopping. We always end the day by going to a thrift store and finding funny outfits. We try to do this at least once a month and I love it.

[Persona]

[COLOR=Pink]All your traditions are very different and fun. I am amazed at what everyone else likes to do with their friends...you would never think about it, you know? Anyhow, when i hang out with the whole group (If my calculations are correct: 5 girls & 7 guys), we always go watch a movie after a long hard discussion of what we want to watch and then we just hang out in the food court or some restruarant (Spellers block) to eat and have plenty of laughs...we usaully do this at least once every two months....it is a lot of money <.<.[/COLOR]

[Her Black Wings]

Well I just moved to a new town after the summer of last year but i've got a few people that i'm really close to now.. as for traditions:

Every wednesday we stay after school and hang out in the practice room, we usually harass a few males that we know (not naming names). We always end up going to Mimmo's or end up shopping also. We don't really have anything mushy other than the fact that we made up weird nicknames for eachother.

[Blayze]

[size=1]Me and my friends have our traditions. For instance, every lunchtime we tend to either hang out in the school hall, or the music room, mostly because those are the only places in the school where teachers let us hang around at lunchtime.

Then, at the end of every term, we go out for lunch and go see a film, even if there isn't a good one on. We kind of make a day of it as well, making sure we spend the whole day together.

Every Valentines Day we have kind of a cute tradition. There's a big group of us (11 or more) and we all go out to this big restaurant and have a massive meal (last time it cost us over £100).

The last main one is usually sometime near the middle of the summer holidays, when everyone is back in the country after going on holiday, we all go down to this park by the river and have a picnic, and play Capture the Flag (although this summer we forgot the flag so we played cpature the fruit instead).

So, yeah, traditions are fun.

[SIZE=1]Interesting, most interesting.

It's been a while since I've actually met up with my best friends, and really there's only the one person I would classify as my best friend and the others are merely good friends. However that said when we all do meet up our most common daytime activity is going golfing together, though really golfing isn't the most accurate word to describe what some of my friends are doing, as using the term golf describes some measure of skill in the sport. After hours seeing as we're all legal adults now, we usually just have a few drinks and reminisce about "the good old days". [/SIZE]

[color=darkslateblue] The only real tradition my three best friends (here where I live, anyway) and I have is to have a scary movie party on Halloween...or the weekend before if the day Halloween lands on is inconvenient. Usually we end up throwing stuff at the tv screen in horror or laughing our heads off (i.e. Children of the Corn and the original Amityville Horror). Great fun. :)[/color]

[SIZE=1]Honestly, I only have one tradition in my mind that sticks in my head. My best friend that I've known since the 7th grade have always done one thing once a year since we were 12/13 years old (she's 20 now and I'm 18). There is a county fair that comes around where I live that everyone goes to that stays for acouple of weeks.

Every summer we go atleast once and take pictures at the photo booths we have there and we end up splitting it in half and each of us gets to keep the two photos that we like. It's crazy cause I just found a lot of my old photo's with her in the drawer the other day. Sometimes we'll let in other people on our tradition but we mostly just go ourselves. I can't wait until this year so I can compare it from when I was 12. Let's just say, I've changed so much since then. [/SIZE]
