Friends we all have

We all have our little cliques we hang out with, the life long friends, the work friends, your party crowd... but it seems like, no matter who you are or what group of friends it is... every group has a couple of the same personalities. You know who I'm talking about...

"The Planner" - the one that plans everything your group does... from a simple lunch to a week long vacation to a night out at the bars. Every birthday, every holiday, every trip, every meal....it's all done by the planner. Doesn't even cross anyone elses mind to figure out what we are going to do. You just call the planner to see whats up. The ring leader... with organization skills like you wouldn't imagine! This person is always a little under-appreciated... so I would like to thank all the planners out there... with out whom we would be lost.

"The Glue" - the person who keeps everyone together, the link between us all... the mediater... the neutral party in every spat... the one who decides it's time that we all get together and do something... so they call the planner to pick the place and get everyone there. The Glue is always the mellow one, but not stoned-hippy mellow cause they actually care about the dynamics of the group and make an effort to put out any fires. This person is also the only one who really can add any new members to the group. Any of the others can try, but the newbies usually fade out through time unless you have a solid link to The Glue.

"The Scapegoat" - The butt of everyones jokes, the groups outlet for sarcasm and "raggery". We all love the Scapegoat, some of the best times the group has is with the Scapegoat, laughing about the most recent ridiculous stunt they have done. And the scapegoat is always a trooper... taking the jokes like a champ. Anything bad happens... must be the scapegoats fault... anything ridiculous happens... scapegoat for sure, any "seriously?!?" moments are always thanks to the scapegoat.

"The Smart Ass" - Usually the one making fun of the scapegoat... and always a riot to hang out with! some of the witty comebacks that the smart ass comes up with just amazes you and at the same time makes you roll on the ground with laughter. Freaking smart ass! How do they come up with this crap?! They like to be the center of attention, and usually are. They are always good with the opposite sex and comfortable in any situation. And your abs always look a little better after hanging out with the smart ass.

"The priss" - Guy or girl... there is always a priss in every group. The one who takes FOREVER to get ready. I mean how many outfit changes can you REALLY have? Just pick a pair of shoes! This person is always late, or the one who makes the group late... of course they always look amazing. You'll never catch the priss in a sweatshirt and jeans with messed up hair. Crazy about fashion, won't catch them near a camp site and looks at their reflection while passing any window just to make sure not a hair is out of line, make up is perfect, no wrinkles in the clothes... ok were good.

"The nice one" - Title is pretty self explanatory, but this is the person that everybody loves. Not just everyone in the group... everyone that has ever met them. They are loved by all... you can't help but love them because they are just SO god damn NICE. Probably the most selfless person you know, one of the best listeners... any time you have a problem... go straight to the nice one. They are usually always in a relationship as well... because people just can't get enough of them. One relationship ends and there is always someone else just waiting for them to become available so they can make their move.

"The Bachelor" - The one you go to when you want to have a good time. The life long bachelor... the good timer... the partier. Essentially "Samantha" from Sex and the City. Usually a little promiscuous... but that is just their life style. Been in one or two relationships... but its just not their style. They are free souls just looking to have a good time content on flying solo throughout life. They drink like a fish, come up with the craziest things to do and are always the LIFE of the party. They make new friends where ever they go. It's just magnetic the pull they have... you just want to be around them. Always happy... always having a good time, however not the one you go to when in a crisis. The Bachelor is always a little flakey... but when they show up, you know its going to be a good night.
