Having a best friend makes you think of weird things.
Stuff like: Getting slapped in the face with a fish is more about smell than texture. 13 nights in a row drinking isn't so bad if you save cash not using mixers. A stranger hitting on you is a storyline for tomorrow's lunch. Redecorating my room is just for you, nobody else will see it. You asked me to go shop with you, are you saying I need new clothes? Crushing Ritalin in a bathroom, because we stayed up 'til 6am before work. Pooping is like extra time in the day set aside to call you on the phone. Why do we play Never Have I Ever when we already know the ever's? People think we constantly say inside jokes, but we're just telepathic. I get into shape before you visit town, because you're my best wingman. If we ever stop being friends, I really hope you don't blackmail me. Can I designate you to speak at my wedding, babyshower, and funeral? ... or is it too soon to do that?
Losing friends can make you think of weird things, I imagine.
Stuff like: 1. I should stop ordering carne asada fries - I can't finish a whole portion. 2. I keep my curtains closed - I know your car won't randomly be outside. 3. Having lunch alone ***** - I shared a crazy story with the cashier today. 4. I take my poops with the stereo on now - I never could go in silence. 5. My voicemail inbox is full - I can't delete any when your voice pops up. 6. Maybe I should call you. 7. I need to talk to you. 8. I wish I could call you. 9. If only you'd come visit town. 10. Maybe I should go visit the cemetery. 11. I have a new least favorite Never Have I Ever. 12. Never Have I Ever had a best friend die.
And I hope I never ever will put that finger down.
