Now le me tell you that even if you have ONE and yes i mean ONE good friend you should consider yourself lucky. Because dammit they are one hard thing to find. In my life of 20 or so years i have narrowed the list to the types of friends one has. Let me list them to you in no particular order:
1.) The "I'm Here Because I have To Be and I will dump your Ass Once My time with you is over" Friend: You have those.. Dont lie to yourself. You know it. If you are so clueless as to who these friends are then let me summarise. A *above mentioned* friend is one who is your friend upto the time they "need" you. I have quoted that because they think they need you but they actually dont. These friends will come to you and go by you just as fast cause they are not interested in maintaining any real relationship. They are just visiting your temple of friendship and what they like is not the religion but hpw the temple looks. To be honest these friends do not bother me much because they are gone in spilt seconds and they don't really mean much because at the end of the day you never really liked them either. For example.. If your best friend is not able to come for whatever reason to a gathering of sorts and you do not know anyone else there you talk to someone who you don't really like but you do just because you dont want to seem like the fool without any friend. Gathering over.. bye bye friend.
2.) The "I hope you were the same person i knew 10/5 years ago" friend: These are basically very good friends from your childhood but since moving and growing you have shifted apart but yet wish you were still as good friends as you were before. You do keep in touch with them but not as often and just barely know the person they are now. Having said that you are still reminiscent about the time shared. You do feel hurt that things are not the same. But you hope that one day you will be on the same playing field as them one day and that they will be wearing the same jersey.
3.) The Online Friend: Well mixed emotions here to be honest really. I have a few really good online friends whom i would love to meet in person one day. To summarize an online friend is a person you have met online through a social networking medium and like/share the same interests and they just somehow seem cooler than "real" people. To be completely honest with you i do not know how far people actually take these friendships cause i dont really have one where i would be ever so devastated had one of these friends broken up with me. I would feel bad but i would not go into depression or anything... Having said this i would like to exclude a few names here which i wont mention but i sincerely hope they know who they are.
Ah bored and sleepy now i will continue the list later......
