What's the deal with friendship? What is it that binds two people together? It requires time spent with the person, to become accustomed to them, but it is more than simple familiarity; and there has to be a certain spark, something between you even before you know each other well, to encourage you to spend the time necessary to get to know them. There is an unnumerable number of people with whom I have had cordial, even enjoyable, conversations, yet relatively very few have been pursued as friends. I guess I just find the whole concept odd. Extremely pleasant, but odd.

I love my friends. God knows why they put up with me, or even how.
