I am really quite happy to have the friends that I do have now. Since I am having writers’ block, I shall write about them.

I have G, a best friend that is now part of a happy couple (sometimes I am nauseated by the saccharine sweetness of their interactions but that is a post for another day.) I am truly happy that he found someone to be by his side when he is down. After the madness that is 2010, he deserves every happiness. We do still talk from time to time, but that's how grown-up friendships are, I guess. I mean, it's kinda pointless to talk every single day about the same shit that we do every single day. It's kinda awesome though, that whenever we do get the chance to meet (that is, rarely), we manage to catch up and talk like we haven't been not talking for four months.

J, a friend I met when I was a snot-faced primary school kid. Come to think of it, we have known each other for fifteen years now. And fifteen years is quite a long time when one is only twenty-three. We talk about Apple products, iOS apps (J has the best app deals. He believes that any app will become free as long as one is patient.) J is also one of the people who inspires me during my spots of feeling down. We meet up every couple of months for game sessions, right now it's Portal 2/Pokemon. (And also we are currently competing in Tiny Tower, a building/management game, fun stuff.) He is one of the few constants over the past two years. Which is kinda cool. I guess he is the only childhood friend I have. We have this secret language deriving from the quotes of an ongoing TV show about physicists and a certain blonde neighbor.

And of course, E, the big brother I always wish I had. Who helped me make the step of getting out on my own. Words don't do justice to the amount and extent of brotherly guidance and encouragement he's given me.

I guess I will never have the ability to be close friends with girls. I don't want to generalize, but most of the girls I met in my life are sickeningly manipulative. Have tried to be friends with girls a couple of times over the past few years but the experience and lessons learnt is something I don't intend to repeat any time soon. And all the girl talk about hair and the latest korean drama just makes me slightly nauseated (yes, I love using that word after watching Sheldon in The Big Bang Theory. And I also love the phrase “preemptive course of antibiotics”.)
