Precious Metals

[thez]

So you make new friends and keep the old, and one is silver, and the other is gold, BUT... how long does it take for one to advance in rank from silver to gold? A FINE THING TO PONDER. Maybe I should start administering friendship advancement tests, and give you all pretty insignia.

Anyway, I have once again reminded myself of the fact that I am a rather inattentive friend. I know this, and I try to fix it, but I always find myself stuck in my own world. I'll keep trying, though, and maybe some day I'll get it right. In the mean time, just keep in mind that if you're my friend, then you're my friend, and that's that. I know this, and I reflect on it often, even if I give no outward signs of doing so.

I like to think of you as "classically cool," rather than "inattentive," as such. If you were born in the 30's, you'd have been a film star in the 50's!

I would like to apply for platinum friend status with this poem by Emily Brontë that puts me in mind of you:

=================================

LOVE is like the wild rose-briar;
Friendship like the holly-tree.
The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms,
But which will bloom most constantly?

The wild rose-briar is sweet in spring,
Its summer blossoms scent the air;
Yet wait till winter comes again,
And who will call the wild-briar fair?

Then, scorn the silly rose-wreath now,
And deck thee with holly's sheen,
That, when December blights thy brow,
He still may leave thy garland green.
========================================

You're no more inattentive than I am.....too true? Happy birthday (well in advance) by the way since I will be unable to contact you on that very special day. Some guy apparently was born that day too, or some such and I'm supposed to go to a party for him. Dunno why, since he's gonna die in a few months anyways. *grins*

Be good and eat much nummy foods to celebrate.

I think you and I are probably the two most neglectful friends in the world. XDDDDD

I LOVE YOU Z

Were you a girl scout?

....that's where I learned the song. All the girls I was friends with then dumped me. Bitches.

No, I'm afraid I was too busy mentally and physically cleaning up after my drug-addled parents to participate in any activities outside of home and school as a child. Clearly I have some pent up rage here, and I'd be glad to release it on these bitches you mention. I think it would be healthy for everyone involved!

I didn't have friends in girl scouts. I wasn't perky enough to be a friend. In the end I got kicked out. girl scouts suck...heheh
