"Friends"

No, this entry is not about the TV sitcom.

Lately I've been feeling that I have what some people term "toxic" friends. I don't like to use the word "toxic", it makes it sound as though these people live in Chernobyl and have three eyes. I know it's supposed to refer to the way the people poison your soul and crap like that, but the people I'm thinking of don't do that. Perhaps a better term would be "part-time" friends. I mean, people that, at first, are like your best friend, then slowly they drift away, and then you find they only contact you if something's bothering them, they need advice, etc etc. You know, people that use your good nature basically. You're great if they have a problem, need a different perspective on things, stuff like that, but in general day to day hellos and how are yous, they can't be bothered.

I think everyone knows people like this. I just hope that I'm not unknowingly like that with some people.

I don't know what made me think of this, I guess I'm just in one of those reflective moods after going out for lunch with the girls. After 24 years, I really don't have many "real" friends. Maybe a person doesn't need a whole heap, just a few wonderful friends. Meh.

So, anyway, how funny was that episode when Joey put on all of Chandlers clothes and did lunges?
