I have 5 'real' friends: 1) My mom. I know most people would not include family in this, but i have to. I tell my mom everything. I treat her not only as a mother, but as a friend too. I don't hold myself back. I am the same person with her as i am with other people. I talk about sex. I tell her about what drugs i do, and why i like them. I like drinking with her. I like spending time with her. We have a lot in common other than being family, and it shows in our relationship. 2) Lauren. She was born on the same day as me (she always rubs in that she's older than me because she was born 10 hours earlier. Stupid bitch). Since the age of 13 or so we only see each other 1-2 times a year (up until recently), but we spent so much time together as children, and we truly care so much about each other, that nothing seems to have changed between us in the past 20 years. 3) Chris. My best friend of all friends. I've spent more time with him in the past 8 years of my life than any other individual. What i share with other friends i do not need to share with him. Half the time we communicate with just looks. We will burst out laughing after 10 minutes of silence because we knew exactly what the other has thought. He is the person i am closest to in this world (with the exception maybe being my mom). 4) Donald. My first love and always one of my best friends. The person i've spent the most time with in the past 5 years after Chris. We share many things in common. We will often visit each other just to ignore each other while we do whatever the fuck we want. We like just knowing the other person is close by. We've been through our share of shit, and breaking up brought us closer instead of farther apart, and re-dating is never possible. 5) Spencer. My spiritual/philosophical soulmate. I don't have the pleasure of talking with others as i do with him, simply because no one is interested in the things we are. We love philosophy. We love discussing the meaning of life. We love trying to understand what experience is, and what we get from it all. We have nearly identical logic - to the point where we often finish each others sentences - but at the end of all that, we usually have *complete* opposite conclusions. It's crazy crazy. Those are my 5 best friends. Now, someone call tell me that i've not had the time to know 5 people in this world, but my bet is i know these 5 just as well as anyone else knows their 1. If it's possible to have 1, it's possible to have 5. Cause all of these people mean everything to me. While i can't imagine knowing even 1 more person, or have the time to know my other close friends more than i do, i'm sure it's possible just as others seem to think that it's not possible to have 5. Who the fuck is anyone else to know how much i know/cherish the relationships i have? | ||

If you wanted something insanely deep like brotherhood... about 5 EZ. I have a long and colorful ATL history ~_~ | ||

Ben, Owen, Piya, and Nina I love you guys! I also have my family, but I don't think you can count those. I have several good friends, that have come with me through several years of shit, that I know I can count on at least 75%, but we aren't at 100% and don't need to be. You have to appreciate good friends for what they are, but not delude yourself about how much you can count on them. I think that the one guy that said "Everyone I have met on my hall are real friends" is deluding himself. $10 says that if you were having a tough time, say just broke up with your GF at a party, and there was someone there that he/she wanted to fuck, they'd make no more than a showing of comforting you then scirt off to the room upstairs. | ||

ive got 8 people who id trust with just about anything. very lucky to have that. 4 of them ive known since kindergarden, 2 ive known since i was about 13 and the other three ive met in the past four years. weve all got open door policies at our places and we are always with each other and got each others back for everything. shit like that takes years. most of the people ive met in college i dont really talk to now. | ||

You guys defenition of true friends seems extremely loose. Somebody who doesn't steal your shit and wont fuck your girlfriend? Sorry pal, but that's basically the minimum level of friendship. A True friend is somebody who you can talk to about anything, who will listen to you about anything, who will help you if things get shitty, and who genuinley cares about you and what happens to you in the future. | ||
