Friends (?)

My daddy is tipsy tonight. And my mom is not angry, for once! She's just rather amused. Wow. Humour. Freud's level 4 defense mechanism! My mommy is pro.

Since im feeling completely braindead and incoherent, might as well blog right? LOL. Today i shall try to categorize the general term "Friend".

Level 1-Un-friend
This is the person you might have been rather close to before, but a conflict occurred and you arent friends anymore. There is nearly always a civilly awkward air between you two. I'd put ex-es, people whom you rejected/ got rejected by, and fallen-out besties in this category.

Level 2- Acquaintance
This is the person you say 'Hi' to for courtesy's sake. Prolly seen each other around, and know each others' names, but besides that and the occasional 'How've you been doing?', barely any more exchange.

Level 3- Fair-weathered friend
This is the kind of person i don't like. They act very chummy with you, but only when they want something. Sad fact, but there are many like that. Perhaps the only thing good about this category of people is that they allow you to use them as well sometimes. Like when you don't want to seem like a loser eating alone in the canteen[ note-i eat alone quite often, but i LIKE it. Haha im a loser:) ] It's like, scratch my back and I'll do yours. Hahaha i always found that phrase amusing. ;D

Level 4- Proximity Friend
This is the friend that you hang out with alot, but only at work/school. You are drawn together by proximity, and spend a huge amount of time together. The person is usually nice, and you get along pretty well, and you probably confide in him/her when in trouble, but you know you wont expect the person to go that extra mile for you; your relationship ends there. Has the potential to move up to higher levels though. Most classmates/ CCA-mates/ colleagues are under this category.

Level 5- Wishful Friend
This friend is the one you ought to treasure but don't. It's really sad, but there is a disparity in the amount of effort put into the friendship between the both of you. This friend is very nice to you, and prolly holds you dear, but somehow you dont reciprocate the feeling of friendship. Instead, you might be apathetic, or even repulsed and feel that this individual is "trying too hard". I dont know how to explain this. Lack of chemistry?

Level 6- Friend Wishful
Haha. What goes around comes around. Now YOU are the wishful friend!

Level 7- Friend
The typical Friend-in-Need. You know you can rely on this one. You dont have to be physically together 24-7, but you are always there for each other. The foundation is well-laid.

Level 8- Good Friend
Mixture of Friend and Proximity Friend. This one is almost always near you, and your friendship transcends the superficial level.

Level 9- Best Friend
This one is the one with the long standing history. You went through glued-at-the-hip stage, or still are in it. But either way, this is the friend you can tell everything and anything to, anytime, anywhere. You are so close you are beginning to even look like each other. At a point, people might have wondered if the both of you were gay, or together( if the other party is of the other sex). This friend is most precious to you, vice versa.

Level 10- Girl/Boyfriend
Well. Doh! ;)

Hahaha if anybody read that, im sorry! Bad post. :S But im feeling random and retarded. So there. :P

RTIWLTS: I've become pretty good at filtering/compartmentalizing already. Either that or no-one cares enough to notice. :)
