One of the reasons revealed
OK, let's talk about best friends.
Best friend 1: I was three years old in Playhouse, and at that age, I had no idea that best friends are not people who would threaten to end friendships if you refuse to learn and regurgitate obscenities.
Best friend 2: We shared so much in common that we ended up liking the same guy. It did not occur to me then that when two people are too similar, one is redundant.
Best friend 3: Horror-stricken nemeses who found ourselves assigned to sit together by our class teacher. Months later, we were forced to be seated apart because we couldn't stop talking about unripe ketupats, Pa-pa-papaya, and The BUS. Her family emigrated to Melbourne the following year.
Best friend 4: Besties one year, stranger the next. She avoided me like I had the bubonic plague, Hepatitis A to G, AIDS and oral thrush for reasons unknown to me.
I have since decided that having besties is a tragic waste of time and effort because they either leave you or turn out to be complete psychos. Can anyone still blame me for being anti-social? It is just not worth the commitment that I can so totally utilise to watch an anime series, knowing full well that these cartoons will not be hormonal or covertly flirtatious with someone you like.
Besides, who needs a best friend when I've got my man, Sei Charn and SYen?
