on friendship
"A true friend stabs you in the front."- Oscar WildeI wonder how many true friends I possess...who would, if neccessary, honestly betray me (using honestly as a real adverb here and not like we do in everyday speech). How many of you would be upfront with me if there came a time when you had to screw me over? And how many would go behind my back?
This was not provoked by a friend or anything, rather by this quote and me analyzing things and being philosphical. College really makes you realize who your true friends are because while you meet new people and make new friends, it is the old friendships that are strengthened by distance and time. These are your truest friends, these people who you find you still have a close bond with after months apart and only talking every other week. Some friendships I know will last a lifetime if we manage to keep in touch. Some deep conversations today led me to this conclusion.
Pam-you are truly one of my dearest friends and I know that in 10 years we will still be in touch.
Matt- I haven't spoken to you in a few weeks, but we are still close.
Dave- I don't know what will happen between us, but I do know that we will, in the end, always have our friendship, no matter what happens, good or bad.
Mal- I love you more than words can express and I hope you know that.
Allie- I don't really know you that well but I am beginning to and I think that this is going to be a good friendship.
Heather-we haven't talked in a few weeks, but our friendship is stable and we always have fun. For those of you I didn't mention: don't feel left out. I love you all too. I only have so much room.
To end...a few words from a brilliant man because I could not have said it better myself:
"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that gives value to survival."
~Mr. C.S.Lewis~

Oooh, good closing quote.
I hope we'll keep in touch for the next ten years: philosophical talks are tee-riffic.
Sorry, I can't think of anything better to say....I'm watching Anchorman for the first time in my life. I apologize.
But I shall talk to you later, no doubt. Glad you got my 10 Things allusion earlier. : )
