on a deeper note, what is the meaning of a friend? Google so eloquently but coldly tells me that it is someone i know well and regard with affection and trust. hmmm, i think i might have one or two ;-)

does it mean i have to call or be called on a regular basis? does it mean being in visual contact even once in a while? does it mean just being there when needed, an old reliable? does it mean the closest thing to a lover but not quite?

perhaps it's all or none of these. i'd like to think i have that subconscious sixth-sense type of bond with those people i call friends. i define them in my own ways. and i have them on different levels. some know me more than others. some think they know me but really don't and never could. others would never claim to in the first place. to some, i'm the listener. to others, they are the listener.

i would just like to think reassuringly as we enter the latter half of the first decade of the third millenium that i haven't lost any friends no matter who they are.

enough of that, i've got major post-Xmas sales at the mall to hit. outta my way!
