Friendship by numbers…
Since so many of my friends seem to have trouble making sense of what it is that they need to do in order to not piss me off, I’ve decided to make a short list. That way, if you seem to see me not being ‘chill’ enough for you, you can consult these points and come to a quick conclusion as to what it is that I’m on about.
- I need to actually see you when we are physically in the same area. Not daily, but once every week or two would be ideal.
- If I call you, text you, email you, IM you or write you a telegram, please get back to me.
- If, for whatever reason, you can’t contact me at length or meet an engagement we’ve made, please let me know.
- When moving to a new city, call me. This can be a short call, finished by saying goodbye.
- Every once in awhile, I enjoy having someone go out of their way to see how I’m doing.
- Don’t lie to me or play games. I’ve had more than enough of this in my life. And you should know that if you are my friend.
And that’s really all there is to making me glad that we are friends. Personally, I feel like these items are common sense, but experience is proving otherwise these days.
P.S. Something like the Bellefonte Cruise would be called ‘traffic’ anywhere other than rural America.
