Have
you ever been surprised by something one of your friends did that was truly unpredictable
and out-of-character? I submitted this question when my out-in-space friend,
Frodo, was caught listening to country music. Believe me, this is COMPLETELY
out-of-character for him.

I am a person of firm and rather optimistic
convictions--with faith in my convictions. Consequently I am perpetually surprised by
individuals and by the universe.

Not that I can think of. I don't know if
that is good or not.

Yeah, but I can only think of negative
things right now, not any positive ones. Which is not to say that my friends aren't great.

Like how my best friend, Miss Hallmark Queen
herself, forgot my birthday last year...she never forgets when it's time to send a card!
Oh well, she made up for it!!

Of course I have! If my friends were not of
sufficiently complex character to do something occasionally that did not fit my image of
them, they would not be interesting enough people to be my friends.

Yeah sure. Like when your friend Mr. cool is
strutting his stuff and accidently knocks himself in the balls.

Not that I can remember. People seldom act
out of character. If they do something surprising, it may be just a facet of their
personality that you hadn't seen before, or didn't know was there.

Nothing that truly stands out in my memory
at the moment. Wish I had more of an answer to this one.

My friends and I were having a birthday
dinner for our friend Richard, which had been somewhat coordinated by myself and Enrique
(Richard's brother), but mostly planned by the man of the hour himself. At dinner, I had
been trying to get a girl friend of ours to stop bugging Enrique. She wouldn't stop asking
personal questions which pertained to something Enrique didn't particularly want to talk
about. I told her "Look, Jenn, if it was really that funny, he'd tell you about
it." Enrique just stared at me. Then he bursts out with "My god, it's not like
everyone is as competitive as you are, everything doesn't always have to be funny. You
really piss me off sometimes." I tried to explain, but he wouldn't listen. This was
unusual because usually he won't blow up at anyone, even when provoked.
C.W.
everyday I find something new about my
friends that surprise me, perhaps that IS their character.

Yes, a friend of mine in high school
completely turned on me one day. I never found out if
there was a reason. Just, one day he decided we weren't friends and told me as much. I
said, fine, fuck you too and I haven't spoken to him but maybe twice since then and that
was over 10 years ago.

the quiet one in the family no ever suspects the type of stuff i do

A few
times, but then that is what makes them such good friends. You just never know fully what
to expect.
