What are friends? Are they people who you hang around with at school/college/work/etc? Are they people that you meet after work/college/school/etc? Let’s find out who are your real friends.

My idea of a “friend” or “friends” is someone who you can rely up on when you are in need. When you really need someone, they are there to help you. May it be money, relationship, work, whatever, they are there to help you to the best of their abilities. After all they the people who know you best apart from your family.

My concept of a friend is for example in the middle of the night and I need something is urgent, for example I split up with my girlfriend and I get all emotional (Just for reference I haven’t cried when I broke up with someone… Yet ) and I call him/her and say “listen, me and xyz just broke up and I don’t know what to do etc”. Then that “friend” would come down and help me out. Offer me advice and support. That’s what would expect from a real friend. Apart from my mum I wouldn’t take the bullet for anyone else. There is a say which I think I know some of it “A real friend is a friend in need” or something like that, but I’ve found an alternative “A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.”. Which is exactly what I am trying to say… Exactly my point. I cannot explain any more as that sentence there explains it all.

Let me tell you of a time when I thought I had friends but they weren’t really friends, more like “buddies”, “pals”, people who you chill out with at school/work/college, people you just know, that’s it. Let me tell you what happened.

It was a weekend, and my girlfriend at that time got invited to this private house party. There were only just under 10 of us. Mainly couples, relaxing, drinking a bit, not heavily, you know, just hanging out but at someone’s house with music and playing pool all nigh. Then by chance some guys came around, I don’t know who they were, some people our age at that time (I later found out). They were in need of alcohol. Funnily enough we drank it all. Even those drinks that contained 5% alcohol and were warm, we even drank them. So there was obviously no alcohol. I didn’t even know they arrived; I was inside with my girlfriend playing around . lol.

So I came out, because everyone else was out to see what was happening. Wow how exciting some druggies wanted booze. - Nothing new - And just as I came out I was in the red. lol I couldn’t believe. One of the blokes started on me, saying things such as “What the fuck do you want?”, “You want some?” (rofl, like I was looking for a shagg?!), so anyway yeh. I was in the red. There were only 3 of them and 5 of us, 5 blokes. So I’ve done a quick calculation and it all added up. We could have had them. But none of the blokes on my side did/say/signal anything. They were like behind me (rofl). Like I could protect them against 3 blokes who are on drugs and me half pissed? lol! Seriously, I couldn’t believe it. They just staid there like pussies. I took off my watch and that because I knew some shit was going down, I knew that they weren’t going to fight along with me my so called “friends”, so yeh, I was ready to get my ass wooped. But the 3 druggies went away… I don’t know, maybe they’ve got a phone call saying there’s a new supplier around. lol. Or their tampons needed changing? Who knows… :p

That’s one scenario, an example when you think that the people close to you that you hang around with are friends that you rely on them when you are in need. No true…

Secondly, (there isn’t going to be a second scenario), as I said before I have set standards to people that could be my friends. I don’t actually like to have “friends” or hang around with people that know much about computers. For me computers are something that I do at college, my course, and that do at home. Apart from that when I go out clubbing, doing sports, chatting up girls, anything else away from computers, I don’t mention computers at all. Is like I don’t know how to use one. Of course if someone needs help with something on one I help out, but I don’t get into discussions and shit about the latest lawsuits against BitTorrent websites or what are the latest drivers for my GForce card. You know, shit like that. That’s for my computer at home, on IRC/MSN/forums, not in my social life.

Because of my “standards” in people that I have, means that I don’t actually go out that much. My life is simple, College >> Home >> College >> Work >> Home >> College. Like a cycle. I have been out lately, I must admit. But that’s with a 24 year old guy who works at my mum’s work place and another one who is 40 that shares a house with the 24 years old one. And is fun, is great fun, because I get on with older people, adults you could say actually. But I also get on with people my age. Is just that people my age, they tend to go and get someone to buy them alcohol and then go in a park or sit on a bench and drink until they get drunk. Now what sort of fun is that? I don’t see the “fun” side in it. Yeh, true, it gets you out of the house. But I’d rather be inside the house, warm, than outside freezing my bollox off sharing a bottle of vodka with 10 people. And thinking is cool. If I want to go out I want someone to be able to get in night clubs/pubs/bars. There you can more fun because you don’t have to worry about the police (unless you get really drunk and start fucking about and they find out your age), and you don’t have to worry about being cold. You know, shit like that. You never know you might get lucky with some 22 year old girl. Maybe because I have been going clubbing since the age of 15, I don’t know. Even then, when I was 15 I was hanging around with 2 people who were one year older than me and two others who were 19 and 21. That sort of thing I like. People (friends”) with a mature personality that know how to have fun. I don’t want to go out with some people ranging from 10 to my age, and be drinking spirits in the freezing cold, shouting abuse and pissing about. And most of all smoke drugs and shit.

Real friends and people like I have just explained above are difficult to find… Trust me… Maybe I haven’t been hanging around in the right groups… Who knows….
