This Blog is specifically for Melissa telling her what an awesome person she is, how she is such a good friend, and exactly how much she means to me as a person. AND as a footnote, to ask her in a subtle way why she does not have me on her "my friends blogs" list. (I believe in the three point thesis)
1.) Melissa is a very awesome person, she does a lot of cool stuff. Works at a pretty nice job, tells rather humorous anecdotes, and is quite attractive (or at least Jim thinks so - I prefer men). Not only that but she also provides me with a decent amount of interesting things to talk about on my blog.
2.) Melissa is a friend. (I guess that's all I have to say about that)
3.) As a person, she means a lot.
Ok, now for the footnote which may not turn out to be all that subtle.
WHY DON'T YOU HAVE ME LISTED ON YOUR "MY FRIENDS BLOGS" LIST ?!!!
This has given me cause for much thought and concern as to her intentions for not allowing me to be on such an exclusive list. Does she think that I have so much time as to personally alert her via text every time that I blog? Or maybe she is WORSE than me in blogging and therefore is not aware as to anyone else's activity, or MAYBE she is embarrassed as to the nature of our conditonal friendship and does not wish for it to be made public.... Whatever the case may be, this is my personal petition (albeit a short one) that I, without too much conjecture, may be added to the list and carry out my intended place as co-blogger.

Conditional Friends
Intro To Second Blog: I couldn't think of anything to write about specifically, but I have a feeling that it may be about my conditional friend. If that topic doesn't work out, I may continue randomly or just end it abruptly.
Because my last blog received such an overwhelming response (and by overwhelming I mean that Amanda and my conditional friend Melissa commented repeatedly on my one and only blog) , I feel the need to continue the trend (at least one more time).
Being the college student that I am, I think it is time that we define some terms.
Conditional - Often called the "real" conditional because it is used for real - or possible - situations. These situations take place if a certain condition is met.
In the conditional, we often use unless which means 'if ... not'. (Internet based, some obscure site that may not know what they are talking about)
For example:
(If) IF Melissa does not come to group again, (not)she will be exiled.
However, this definition has a long detailed story of sacrifice, bravery, and heroic adventure. Here's how it happened:
Amanda and I had decided to go to Micheals to check out the picture frames that were on-sale. Turns out they were five dollars, so I went above and beyond the call of duty and called my mother to see if she would like one also. She did. Cart full, we were talking and making our way to the check out when suddenly I look past Amanda to see a frightening sight: Melissa standing in a conjoining aisle, eyes wide, index finger over her mouth. My initial thought was to ruin the surprise and alert Amanda to the possible danger. Instead, the demon on my right shoulder says that this is a potential situation for snickering and joyful glee, if played out right. Unbeknownst to either Melissa or I, Amanda has uncanny perception and sensed the imposing danger. Without batting an eye, she turned around and greeted her so-called friend. At this time, it became to clear to me that Melissa not only had malicious intent in attempting to scare amanda (thus making her wet herself) but that she needed to be threatened into submisson. Enter yours truly. Although initially I had played into her hand, I was not an innocent; I would not be fooled. "Come to group, or we are NOT friends!" Through careful conniving, I had managed to procure the accompaniment of the one and only Melissa, thereby maintaining that my watchful eye would never stray from her deceitful and trickerous path. By agreeing to these terms, Melissa unknowingly signed a contract of "conditional friendship" that IF she failed to subdue her wicked and dangerous tendencies, she would NOT be allowed to associate with either parties. Amanda was saved! At this time, I would like to say that they lived happily ever after but due to the nature of the contract.... we will never know.
