Friends in far away places

ever wonder about the nature of friendship? how do we pick our friends? why do they become our friends? how could they ever stand to be friends with us?

friendship can mean everything. or nothing. what defines the "level" of my friendship with any one person? what will i do for my friends? what, if anything, wont i do?

apparently, i will spend money and call far away places for my friends. not that i regret it, either the time or the cost. it was most definitely worthwhile; speaking to someone i haven't seen or talked to (other than the rare email and twice in IM) in almost a year. i missed the time and the conversations. so at two am, i placed a call to that distant land, where it was already tomorrow (or at least quite a bit further into tomorrow than i was), and spent a great time talking with a good friend.

hopefully they felt the same.

friends are god's way of compensating you for your family.

apology accepted.
