The Nod

Good friends are those who you could pick up where you left off......

So, it's true I have been going on and on about how some of my friends are good or bad, awesome or horrible, comparing them to the worse ones or better ones. But I hardly tried to find out what I'm worth in the 'friendship' department. Am I a good friend? bad friend? fair weathered friend? foul friend? fake friend?

Now, I was angry at Steve for ridiculously and very casually and easily dropping me off his friends' list. Ok, so I guess I was a bad friend to him. I was angry at him for two weeks but after that, I got gobbled up with workfriends or just work in general. But come to think of it, I hardly have any friends here. Not that it's an issue but despite the fact that Steve has been an asshole to me, I guess it's far more important that I'm nice to him. Well, sincerely, of course.

Coming outta work on a Saturday evening, I hooked up with KP and his wife, one of the most normal things for me to do two months ago, and it was nice to see them and their kid again. Then, I asked him if Steve was coming. We called him and finally we joined Steve and Joel at Summit Parkview for some pool playing.

It was just like before, almost like nothing happened between us. I grabbed him aside and asked 'So dude, we all cool?'. He nodded. It was the nod I got ten years ago when I asked him 'wanna come hang with us?' on the first day he and I became friends.

I don't see this as a 'omg i'm gonna cry' reunion.. it's more of a mature way things need to be done between two good friends.
