Some of my favourite people-part 1

I've never been a big fan of friendships that have (for want of a better word) blossomed on social networks. But around 2 years ago, when I was in one of 'those moods' for a prolonged period of time(try a year!) I made a friend.
We'd known each other for a while before that through common friends(well actually, common friend but as she is a multitude of personalities in herself,each more charming than the other, common friends isn't perhaps so wrong) but other than the polite acknowledgement when we met in the hallowed halls of Soggo(a deceptive hellhole away from home) there was, little else. But as our time to move on coincided and we found ourselves in a new place bored out of our petty pseudo-intellectual minds, suffice to say, we bonded. In her I've found an ideal acquaintance turned friend. With the kind of wit that was sharp enough to provoke and yet not overly intellectualized that it would make no sense, a mind that was as petty and materialistic as mine and most importantly one of those charming personalities that promises to leave even the biggest cynic impressed, I'd found my FAVOURITE facebook partner.

No prizes for guessing who that 'not-so-special, slightly deranged' someone is, sigh! bumbles I'm talking about u.

As another year passes and I continue to wonder how it is, that I ever came to be this taken with a woman who spends most of her time oogling over married men with names like Kaka and whose idea of a fun conversation is a) fantasizing over aforementioned strange men or b)trading insults I realized that it probably was because I enjoyed every minute of those conversations just as much if not more. There is something strangely liberating about having a friend with whom you don't have to share ur life and troubles but with whom you can start all over everyday and FORGET ur not-so-fun real life. A friend who is looking for nothing more than a good time and a fun conversation. Someone u can spend hours making plans a stalker/bomber/mserial killer would be proud of, with. I am fortunate enough to have found one such friend. And that folks is definitely something I will always thank aforementioned, otherwise annoying social networking site for.
