a friend is ryan, who sits and listens to me when i am going through the same ol' shit he is used to hearing.
a friend is phunkle, who sticks beside me through the craziest parts of my life and doesn't run away.
a friend is steve, who i lived with and who sometimes i watch movies with, and who likes George MacDonald.
a friend is Kat, who I think understands something about me, although I'm not sure what it is. If I was a first grader, i'd want Kat to be my teacher's aid. Then I could have a crush on her and follow her to lunch.
a friend is Tiffers. she is great just to sit with and spend time with.
a friend is YOU MAN, who picks me up and who doesn't mind trying to understand me.
a friend is Jason, who is bigger than he looks, who is kinder than he acts, and who may be one of the best guys I ever met. there is something about Jason that I can't put my finger on, but it's o.k. i don't need to figure it out.
why is it that many of my friends are people I rarely see? hmmmmm......
