okay just read leons blog. its so cute :\ so i quoted his whole entry down about friends. pretty true i suppose so yeah. hahaha hope he doesnt mind anw.! so here it is, complete with the typo errors and stuff.! (:


all friends are not created equal... most friends add to ur life in a way, but there are probably a few u would be better off without. The common denominator for these friends-gone-bad is that they act as if it's all about them and never about u. definitely, we're all guilty of being a little too self-absorbed at times. but as we all know, friendship is SUPPOSED to be a two-way street (of sorts?) if one of your friends is not exactly holding his end of the bargain and being a "good" friend, consider slashing him or her from your list of friends. There are many types of friends, see if u fit any of the following descriptions.

Firstly, the whining sort. Nobody knows the trouble u seen, and u think that the whole world is against u (most, at least?) sure, everyone enjoys complaining and whinging every once in a while, but with u, it's a non-stop "moan fest" of sorts. haha. It's emotionally draining just being with u.

Secondly, the leech aka king/queen. you think that your friends owe u a living and they are all your servants who exist to actually help u to do everything even the most mundane things. Your friends are not there to be pushed around by u, not to clean up after u. You ask me what i'm up to, but actually deep down inside you want to find out if they're free to help u out to do some shit. Don't think that your friends are obligated to help u eat shit. (things like calling ppl, thinking they're ur personal secretary, asking wad hw is due tomorrow etc...)

Thirdly, the dumper. Whenever something or someone better comes up, u conveniently drop me off (or any other of your friends for that matter) like yesterday's business. The worst kind is when u treat your friends like fill-ins or time-passers until someone else (i.e. guy/girl?) comes into the picture. u may make plans with your friends weeks in advance, but if your uh "better friend" comes along and calls you to hang out, u rush over without hesitation.

Fourthly, the bragger. Classic. You've been there and done that. not to mention, way better than I have. Big deal. You just can't resist telling me how rich u are, showing me all your latest gadgets. and like, i.e. "that's all so passe... your discounted designer clothes are so last season, while my outfits come straight from the Paris runway" (lol, just an example) u are someone who tells your friends how important you are in school, how perfect your relationship is with your stead, how good your results are, etc.

Fifthly, the adviser. Or rather, the over adviser. everyone counts on their friends for advic, but nobody needs a steady stream of unsolicited intervention. whether you're trying to prove how smart or you are or you plan to start your own counseling practice, eu seem to have the answer for everything, regardless of whether i ask u or not. i've quit sharing things with people before because they can't just listen, and they always have to tell me exactly what to do and expect me to follow it.

Sixthly, the "busy bee". Well it may be a good thing, but in this case it's bad. you're everything rolled into one, a SC, CCA leader, obtain good results, active in church, etc (hypothetical) u make ur friends feel liek they are but a mere dot on your overscheduled radar screen. u constantly show up late for meetings and say u're too busy to take your friends' calls. In a way, u make it seem like you're doing your friends a big favour by making time for them.

Ok now, one word of caution, before you start cleaning up your friend list, ask yourself if you actually fit any of these descriptions. i'm sure u wouldn't one of your friends reading this and then deciding to dump u later. i wouldn't hesitate to strike of these kinds of people. i've done it before, and i felt much better after that. i've never had any best friends i could share real secrets with. they betray. they backstab. they are bastards. ok sure, i wouldn't mind if u strike me off ur friend's list too. it's ok. after all it's your loss.
