1-D Friends


One dimensional friends......am I the only one who feels like I know people like this?
If you're not sure what I mean by a 1-D friend, allow me 2 provide a few examples:
1. Angela - the friend that calls me every saturday to see what club is 'Jumpin tonight'
2. Tiffany - The Wal-Mart homie that only calls when she needs help carrying grocery bags
3. Joanna - the Vegan friend who you only see at Animal Rights rallies (maybe this one is just me)
4. Bernadette - the friend who blows the horn outside ur window every Sunday so you can ride with her to early morning service at her grandpa's Episcopal Baptist Church
Hopefully you get my drift.... 
Am I the only person with friends like these? It wouldn't (and doesnt) bother me when a relationship is FORCED to be this way - for example Alex, the girl I sit next to in Biology and occasionally chat with, who I never plan on seeing outside of the classroom! But when we have hung out together, run in the same circles, I've met your mom, you've seen me cry, I donated my right kidney to your sister...I kinda expect more than a 1-D relationship with you!
Case in point: 1-D friend who REFUSES to talk with me about anything other than hair! 1-D has clubbed on weekends with me, studied with me, slept on my bed (long story), AND ate off my meal plan! Eating off my meal plan?!?!? thats love and commitment right there, and the most I get in conversation is "Girrrrrrrl, how did you get your baby hairs to lay down like that???" 
(O_O)
Really? 
In cases like these, 1-D friends really irritate me. I feel like they have type-cast me for a role that I didnt even audition for! My question is WHY??? Did 1-D decide that all of my other conversations were boring, so all we can discuss is hair? Or maybe 1-D in fact really is one dimensional, and only discusses hair =\
Whatever the reason for this foolery, I want no parts of it! 
The one thing that I have lacked my entire life has been long-lasting friendships - either I would move around too much to maintain relationships or would all of a sudden fall out with a 'friend' that I did manage to keep. I've noticed this pattern and dont wish to continue it! I'm done with the on-off-on-off friends! I feel that 1-D's are just another form of these. I don't want friends I don't hear from all week, then saturday night they BLOW MY PHONE UP!! 
I want holistic friends, 3-Dimensional friends....hell, I want HD Plasma Screen friends!!!!!!!!
