Lovers come and go, Friends are forever

Damn, that last post was so morose it's depressing even me, so let me change focus and think about my good points. I do have some.

Ten reasons I make a great friend

I'm loyal to a fault.

I won't lie to you.

Once you get used to my dry wit, I'll make you laugh.

I can hold my own in any conversation that doesn't require a knowledge of mathematics.

I'll always lend a hand when you need one.

I'm generous. I'll share everything I have.

I'll say really nice things about you behind your back.

I'll take true delight in your successes.

I won't tell your secrets. Frankly, I'll forget them before I leave the room.

I won't presume to tell you how to run your life.

And as an added bonus, my eccentric existence will make you feel like a paragon of respectability in comparison. Can't ask for a better friend than that can you?

UPDATE: My dear friend Karen from Noho emailed me:

Please add one more item to your list: when your friends need you, you're right there. That's the most important quality of all.

Thanks sweetie. Love you and miss you too...
