Dear Ms. Des:

I am interested in applying for the friend position advertised on your blog. I believe that my 27 years of conscious friend-making experience qualifies me for the position.

Over the past 20 years, my stupid comedy-watching and -quoting have become highly developed. Favorites include Bring It On, Party Monster ("oh James..." said in ridiculous nasal tone), and Varisty Blues ("I don't want your life," said in ridiculous Texan accent). I eagerly await the opening of Snakes on a Plane, which I am fairly sure is not an intentional comedy, but should be hilarious. However, standards are important to me. Please, no Ernest movies.

I also have experience sitting around bullshitting (see my blog), and it is one of the things I enjoy most. While I do not generally go to music shows because I am lame in that way, I do listen to others well and like to try and help my friends. In addition, I am always fretting about things and seeking advice from trusted pals. Reciprocity is good.

Others consider me intelligent and fun-loving despite my dorky tendencies, enough so to spend vacations with me here and abroad. Finally, I am flexible and can spend time with others in groups or alone.

Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hanging out with you soon.

Sincerely,
Suzanne
