I must make this brief, as I have a lot of work to do, and I’m really messing around.  I was talking to J about this last night, and I have to open the issue up to all of you.  Do you still use the term “best friend”?  I consider a few special people among my closest, most cherished friends, those whom I’ve known for a long time, and basically love them like family, well what I think “family love” should be like.  I’m not so sure I love all of my family members in that same way, because when you have a really large one there are lots of folks thrown up in there that you really don’t know and some that you might not like so hot.  However, getting back to the point, among those people are J- my lovely, artistic friend who I just adore, N- my “tell it like it is, but still such a sweet person friend,” the original Roommie- my “I don’t know where the heck she is” friend but I’m sure wherever it is it involves lots of work, my current roommie, my new friend Celeste who must be the sweetest person I know, “Special Order”- who is the sister I never had.. and….. I don’t know maybe one or two more people. LOL I’m so wack, the point is, IT DOES NOT include this dude that was IMing me yesterday about some issue and was like, blah blah blah, “… not like my BEST FRIEND CONSTANT”.  I was like hmph?? Who me???  That’s real awkward!  First of all, *I* stopped using the term “best friend” in, oh, middle school, and at the time it was pretty much an agreed, mutual relationship. There might even have been some dialog for clarification like, “We’re best friends? Cool.” Maybe I had a boyfriend or two in the past who I considered my best friend, but even then I don’t think we communicated that to each other.  lol But yeah I guess I didn’t know I was HIS best friend! He’s not mine though!  I have to admit that I feel kind of like a jerk now! Maybe he meant “ONE” of his best friends, like you’d say my cousin Robin, but even then it still isn’t reciprocated!

What do you think? Has that ever happened to you? Have you been someone’s best friend and didn’t know, or was someone your best friend that didn’t reciprocate the… honor? Is it an honor?!? OH lawdy…
