A true friend will spend 30 minutes on the phone, from Canada, no less, listening to you do the ugly cry.
A true friend will listen to you confess your really bad mistakes and leave any judgment to a shoulder shrug and a well-timed “it happens.”
She will also be your support group to prevent you from making those same mistakes again.
A true friend will let you spend the night on her couch when you just can’t stand the idea of yourself.
A true friend will sing along to 80′s love anthem‘s at the top of your lungs, complete with lotion tube microphone and an enviable shimmy.*
*For the record, I do a mean shimmy, particularly with music blasting and passers-by staring. It is one for the record books, people. Also, this may or may not have been the first time I have sung in public for a solid decade. (Public is defined as anywhere outside of my shower.)

Awesome! I totally agree … but don’t think I’ve ever sang in public (public meaning anywhere outside of my car where life exists in a vacuum)
