Tales 9

Tales of one with time: Entry No. 9

In this entry of tales, we're going to talk about that group of people that group of people that we all have, that "circle", if you may, that one sorrounds himself with, for everyone it's different, and the specific things you do with them is also very varied, we're talking about friends.

We all have a lot of people to consider a friend, but each one is there for a fresh new purpose; you don't realize the same activities with all of them, because no matter how enjoiable it was, it just wouldn't  be the same, so I think I would be a great idea to explore a few types of friends that I can think of new to properly explain this:

• Freind of occasion: This friend is the one that you consider your friend, usually he's really cool, but for some strange reason you don't really hang out all that often, usually there's one specific thing that you do with this guy; Maybe he's that one friend with which you like to play basketball, maybe he's the one that you go in hunting with (by hunting, I meant going on the prowl in search of companinship from the opposit sex), but no matter what you do together, you know it's always fun.
• Not really consecuential: This guy is kind of weird, sometimes he's there, you say he's your friend, but really, when he's not there, you don't notice it, you still have fun, you've never gone out just the two of you, you're never like: "man, I wish he would've come, it's just not the same witouth him", all in all, he's a nice fellow but weather or not he's there, that's not stopping your fun.
• Dating friends: These are another type of friend that get kind of weird, you like them both, they're great people, you have incredible ammounts of fun with both but there's one little itsy, bitsy "situation": out of nowhere, they decided to start dating, you invite one of them when you go out and both of them appear each time closer and closer, it get's go a point where they seem to have a joint at the hip and eventually they seem to be melting into a single entity; You're at a reunion and say something like "hey john, come in the pool" and then you look around and can only express one specific syllable in horror: "oh...", this is when you realize they're attempting to get out the eggs of an alien face hugger out of each other symultaniously.
• Close circle: These are all the best, as good as it gets, you can't find others like them, and when you all find someone that you can trully invite to be a part of your close circle of friends it's a time for rejoice, because these kind of people, you find maybe 10 throughout your life. with these guys it doesn't matter what you do, weather go on trips together, or maybe just to the store you wouldn't prefer being with anyone else in the world and you wouldn't change a few minutes with them for any amount of money... actually you would, because you are such great friends that you know that they wouldn't mind because you're friends.
• That one: This one I wanted to get to, this is the one person that could call you up at 4:35 in the morning when you're hung over, tell, not ask you to help him bury a body and your first reaction would be "where?", this is the one person whom you'd change you're significant other for, the one that you would move to a different city to see again; If you have any secret, he's the one person to know it and you better learn to aprrecieate him. I'm talking about your best friend.

All in all, friendship is one of the most beautiful things, the world is a very cold and depressing place if you don't have a few real friends and writing this has given me a little bit of insight into seeing they're indispensable and I would just like to end this off with a big, heartfelt thank you.
