Yesterday, two of my best friends left Japan.
These BFs... I don't know what they were like when they were in high school or college, I didn't know where they lived until a few days ago, I don't even know their birthdays! But still, they are two of my best friends.
They left us their humifier (very cool one), their printer, their flowers, their hairdryer, their nice wines, and bits and pieces of their lives... and went to Hong Kong, where, apparently, it's AT, peeps! (Hong Kong--Everyone is going there! Don't YOU know someone there??) Now their humidifier (tres cool one, I just want to point that out again) keeps us humidified and happy. (BTW our TV is from another BF--my cousins M&M--and *it* keeps us informed and happy!)
So anyway, if I don't even know their birthdays, are those people true best friends?
My attempt at an answer goes a little sumthin' like this...
I feel like they know me and they stuck around. And I feel like I know them, and I LOVE them (and their humidi... I mean, just everything about them.) Well, maybe I should say they are my role models. Yes, peeps, it might very well be that I have my first "role model" one year before my third decade on earth. Well to be honest, I have had bits and pieces of role models all over the place (Thank you, Mom, Aunt Tracy, Ninapod, Dad, HK, all of my uncles and aunts, Grandmom!, Laney, Catherine "Cat", Cat's mom, Courtney, Anrei and his family, Yuki, Alex and Beatris, Ragan, Charlize Theron (not even KIDDING) etc etc...) but these two embody a lot of what I respect, in two bodies that include almost NOTHING of what I disrespect. Isn't that amazing? One of those traits DEFINITELY includes having cool humidifiers. (Like, basic stuff doods.)
So yesterday two BFs left.
Today another BF came. My cousin, M. She is staying with us for a week. So, how many best friends can you have??
AS MANY AS YOU CAN GET!!!
I miss you T&P. I love you Cousin M. May everyone have best friends for ever and ever amen.
