It's friends week

Allow me to introduce my friend, Mikki D. She posted here once before and despite having brown hair, she is obviously a blonde. She couldn't figure out how to get back here. She has appeared again and this time she created her own blog. I have bookmarked it so that when she loses it again I can guide her there.
She created her first post and Glowie, Jen and myself had a mini hijack going on. Eventually, if I find her worthy, I am going to link her. Because I would like her to get to know some of my friends here.
I'll let her bio herself in her own blog if she wants to but I will bio our friendship here briefly. Because a couple of people have asked me "Who is this Mikki D person". So without further ado..........
Mikki D and I go back many many many years. We met when I was a senior in high school through mutual friends and we hit it off immediately. She fun, the Mikki D.
We ended up running in the same circle for many years. As a matter of fact, she is the very first person I ever came out to. Unlucky for her she had to witness the mess that was my first true love. I believe that's who introduced us. The only good that ever came from meeting that c**t. Anyhow, this isn't about the bitterness and mess of that relationship. That would be a whole other entry. Don't ya think, Mikki D?
So Mik and I continued to hang out for years and she stood by my side through many a rough time. I was absent for the actual birth of her first child because of my drug and alcohol problems (which I will blame on Jennifer, the first love). As a result of those problems we lost touch for a bit. But then we re connected again after T-Bear was born and we decided to become roommates. Probably not a good idea. She was a single mother of an infant and I was a young 20 something, stripper, alcoholic, drug addict trying to get over a broken heart by being a ho with men. We lived in a one bedroom apartment and it just wasn't a good situation. Anyhow, she ended up moving out and once again we lost touch.
Fast forward a few years and for the life of me I can't remember how, but we hooked up again. We started to play softball together and I started to introduce her to some of my friends. By this time I had gone back to women and most of my friends were lesbians. By now she had had her second daughter, Jessica, and she also had a boyfriend.
We fixed that. Fast forward a few months and the next thing you know, somebody had a girlfriend. *giggle*. This was convenient for our friendship and we once again started to hang out all the time again.
Fast forward a few years: All hell broke loose in our circle of friends. We went from a group of about 20 down to individual couples all going their own way. It was quite sad. there were many bitter feelings between a lot of people within our group and life just seemed to separate us all.
But, if I know one thing, it is that no matter what life puts between the two of us, we always seem to find our way back into each other's lives again. A few months back, some might remember a story about me drinking too much and barfing on a friend's car. No it wasn't her car but this big party day seemed to once again bring us back together.
And so, this brings us to today. Here we are. things are good, could be better and will be better. But we have once again connected. Yay!!
Caveat: I may be missing some important events here. But remember, I really was a druggie and a boozer and if I could remember my name half the time, it was a good day. She'll tell you.
She came to my 30th birthday party just because she never thought that I would live to be 30. That is truly how wild I was. I was a rockstar without a band. So, she may fill in some gaps.
Welcome her, won't you?
