Progression

Haven't had much time to blog for the past 2 weeks, with work experience and all. But guess what?!?! They offered me a job there and they even paid me for the 2 weeks which they didn't have to pay for. =)
The babysitting is also still in progress- i'm on my way to Moneyland. LOL.

It's been quite eventful lately...with all happening at once, and i don't get a chance to write anymore. Sunday Storytime will be quite empty for a while...

Today i revised...and revised some more. Then chatted and played Sims2. Whilst chatting to various characters that sometimes enlighten me and sometimes make me want to scream and bang their heads together, i realised a potential friend in one of my so-called "mates". AK, a mate for quite a while now(months) has shown me that she can be more than a nice girl that likes pink and straightening her hair(i'm not really a pink person and i've only straightened my hair once in my entire life) Against all odds and differences i think we could become good friends. =)

This made me ponder on what i look for in a friend and figured that 2 people can be on the same wavelength even if in 2 very different universes. The wavelength can have 2 sides, no? If Russia can, then the wavelength can too! I thought of all the friends that i have and it struck me: I have a pretty damn good safety net to fall back on if it all turns tits up and it feels good. I try to keep the number of people i care about as low as possible, i guess it's safer that way, in case i have to move country again LOL.

A friend to me is somebody i'd defend with my life and take a bullet for if i had to, whereas a mate is somebody i would care enough about to cheer up and give chocolate to when they're sad. With those categories in mind, i have 3 friends. I haven't counted the mates since there are no bullets involved there, but i can tell you, the number's higher than 3. Of course i haven't counted family members and relatives since they come before anything else. Well i guess i've come quite a way from the times when a friend was just a gossip buddy and family was a money/chocolate resource.
