I still want us to be friends

That never works.

You can't be friends with someone after someone feels rejection.

All that phrase does is prolong the inevitable non-friend-status that you are surely bound for. And then, in that period of waning affection, while you are Friends, you get jealous of each others assumed progression that is usually a front to show the other person what they are missing out on. And while you are Friends, you get jealous of each others dates, whether they are with nerds or without. And while you are Friends, you make test calls to your phone every so often to make sure it is working. Because, man, it sure hasn't rang in awhile.

While you are Friends, there is one big blow-up that always ends the Friendship. If you haven't had The Blow-up, it will come. Just be patient.

Once The Blow-up has happened, you are free of all prior bonds and chains of Friendship. It is time to move onto other Friendships that will, in turn, end up in Another Blow-up.

i would like to point out that sometimes it actually works, but only on Friends. wow. i just hit an epiphany. i think Friends was just another way of making the title of that show be The Breakup. cuz that's all it's really about, after all.

i would like to point out that the words verifications are getting consistantly more creative. this time it is buzhnbo. slip that into a heated round of Beyond Balderdash and i could come up with some pretty damn good definitions!
