Friendship

What constitutes being a good friend?
I have been thinking a lot on this subject lately.
A friend and I were talking yesterday and she mentioned doing a certain job for another friend. She detests said job, I told her to ask for a break. (She is getting monetarily compensated but not nearly what is deserved) she stated that she couldn't because "I guess I'm a good friend". To which I said, "I guess that makes me a terrible friend because there isn't enough money in the world". She LOL'd(we were texting of course).
It got me to thinking.
Am I really a bad friend because I won't do what she's doing? What makes someone a good friend? If I do refuse a "favor" would I be demoted?
I don't have too many good friends in the first place.(real shocker, right?) so if I were to lose one I'd be pretty bummed.

^^A draft I discovered from over a year ago that I decided I could possibly expand upon and post.^^

Now the other side or a different side rather is that maybe I am too selfish? I wouldn't do the above mentioned because it wouldn't benefit me somehow?

I can see that. It's the reason I don't want children and I will readily admit to that.

But does that really make me a bad friend?

I mean the 'thing' my friend was doing for her friend was actually costing her money. Her property was being damaged. The amount she was being paid was certainly not enough to replace what was being broken. I personally feel as though her good nature was being taken advantage of.

Again, that's just me.

Of course I say no, I'm not a bad friend. I think I may be biased.

Hope your day was good.

J.k. Rowling???

Lately I have been having this terrible itch to write. Can't explain it, it just hit me. 
Granted it has been a while since the urge struck but frankly I just remembered I had a blog. 

:facepalm:

Anyhow. I don't think I'm a writer. I don't. I'm sure English majors heads would explode if they came across this travesty of a blog. However I have been having these dreams lately that upon waking the first thought(sometimes words out of my mouth) are wow, that would make a good book/movie. They are so detailed and interesting, I would read/see it. I may or may not be biased but meh who cares. I have never in all my dreaming days thought or said such a thing about anything I've dreamt. Ever. I've said ooo, that was strange. Or holy crap, lets not go there again. Never wow, I gotta write this down. Luckily I have listened to myself on more than one occasion my only(haha) problem is, I'm not a writer. I have never fancied myself one, aspired to try and become one, nothing. 

So, I am at an impasse. I think I am just going to bring up a blank document page and start typing out what I have saved in my phone(and any other ti-bits I recall). Then maybe google book writing for dummies, ha, who knows I may be the next J.K. Rowling. 

Boy don't I wish!

Happy Sunday all.
