Okay. So my very first post. Weehee. (Yeah right.)
Well right now it's 10:56 in the evening (here in this "place" I live in) and I am bored to death.
So what do I do on a boring night?
I don't know.
So now I join this "thing" and I am now ranting about things that don't even concern anybody
but me. Well, isn't this blogging about that? Ranting. With a capital R.
Well, I'm not really good in writing but I can talk about anything and everything under the sun. (Well, it has to be something I know of of course.)
So tonight (or today) I begin my ranting. (Haven't I already begun?)

Topic for this post: Best Friends

Okay. So what exactly are friends? Can anybody please define what a BEST FRIEND is. Okay. It's the best of your friends. I've heard that before.  I have lots of good, great and cool friends. But none fits best friend material. But really. I need a definition that will convince me that such thing exists. In my lifetime of 18 years I have not found a real best friend. Oh sure I've had a best friend in kindergarten but I haven't seen her since I transferred schools. Then I had this best friend in third grade. We promised to each other that we'll be BFFs but look at us now. We don't even look each other in the eye. Then come fifth grade. I had this friend. Well, I thought we were best friends. We ate lunch together. We hang out after class. We have sleepovers. Usual stuff usual best friends do. But. Now here's the big BUT. We too parted ways. Now I still don't know why we did. It's something I haven't really grasped til now and I have no intentions of doing so anytime soon or anytime ever. Then, (urgh i hate "the ns") I met this nice classmate of mine in High School. We hit it off pretty well.  I wanted to call her my best friend but I want to hear her say too that she is my best friend. And to my surprise she did! Yeah I've got myself a BEST FRIEND! God. I only thought they were real in the movies. So we became best friends. But, (a big but again) fate has this crappy way of bursting your bubble. My best friend had to leave. Go figure.
So, when I lost my best friend, I stopped believing in "best friends". Just like a kid who suddenly was faced the truth that santa doesn't exist. Oh well.
So now.. Define to me what best friend really is.

    Hi there mypeanutbrain and welcome to Soulcast (great name by the way :-)

    Now then, I have this absolute best, best, best friend ever of just over 27 years.  Met aged 13 in art class in school.  she is here on SC too as lionesss (with 3 Ss).  She knows when I don't really want an answer, I just need her ear.  She knows when to send that 'special friend' card in the post for no other reason than she knows I'm a bit down.  Nothing I ever tell her makes her raise more than one eyebrow ha ha!  Hell - now, she don't even raise one ;-)  My happiness and good mental health are what matter to her.  Whatever I tell her I know it goes no further.  She is not afraid to be honest with me and I her.  No matter how long it is in between us meeting (I moved away from her you see) it is always like it was yesterday when our conversation begins to flow.  She defends my honour and my name with the last breath in her body and woe betide anyone who hurts her too! 

    That friend is out there somewhere for you just waiting to be discovered.  Don't give up heart.  When you find them (or they find you as the case may be) the friendship that lasts a lifetime is so worth waiting for.

    Take care and have fun here.
