A hyperboring day in school studying physio... how my anatomy... i am a failure in life... The Incestous One (TIO) has Prada-ed me today... i have been pelted w all sorts of fashion innuendoes until im getting bored... you can only use a certain joke a certain amount of times... what a dowdy day... i mean dowdy as in the bloggable stuff is few and the unbloggable stuff is not as few but definitely more substantial... lecture was more quiet to day cos the Andy came to sit w us and silencing TBO... histo prac was only famous for one thing... cornering of individual to give $ to charity... there is so much i can give for charity who is going to give charity to me... besides AC scum also made a grand appearance to trade barbs abt my mythical wealth which for some reason or another does not exist... I have like no $ to buy a new phone nor a pair of sunglasses nor so many other things... like a better com to play Medal of Honour and Half Life 2... surprise surprise... you must have thought i don play such rubbish but actually i do... i dunno if im reading signals correctly but i hope that the short temper i blew is over and the person is ok w me now... as for my date w spring... she is also known as the hopeless one... anyway i shall now give a few people nicks... TSO shall not be revealed cos only the inner circle will know what it stands for... I thank Nipponista for keeping her promise... saved me arse
I shall now deliberate on my friendship rating scale... i have divided my friends into various classes a la The God Of Small things... not a friendship ladder from the scum blog but a grading system of how close i regard you as a friend... comparatively you can figure out where you stand by this definition... the longer you know me the higher you are... but that is not the general rule as i have known many people for like 10 years but they are no where near the top... i shall divide it into classes like O Level Grades... here are some examples of the Top grades... A1: Jon Aow, Meixin etc... A2: Andre, Liying etc... No hard and fast rules here cos coming from RI i will know more guys and know them longer as compared to girls... some people are in the transition zone morphing from stage to stage and sometimes the degree of interaction may also indicate your level... but that doesn't mean i don talk to you i don rate you highly... i can't talk to all the people i know and if i tried i will have maximal salivary secretion... anyway if your names are not mentioned do not fret... i criticise all the time but my impressions are always good cos i prefer my long term impressions remain the good side in people... but rankings may depend on origin of association... like if you are a friend of a friend you are still considered a friend even though i dunno you welll and if you spent a short period of time as a close confidante you will be quite high on the list even though it may only be a few months of acquaintance... On talking terms... i don talk to my A1 friends all the time but when i do the feeling and the chmistry is always there... some friends were made in adversity... some were made in goodwill... I never forget goodwill thus if you have earned my respect i will respect you for eternity and few have done it... but friends made in adversity are the ones that i can tell you i treasure most... no slight to anybody else but only a few are able to qualify under this category... i think only the A1 class all qualify... A2 is highly debatable as the positions shift from time to time within their own subclasses and heirachies... it may sound very mercenary and cruel to rank friends but i guess it is not only limited to me... everybody surely has an idea of the depth and intensity of feeling he or she feels towards his or her friends and certainly it differs from person to person... i try to use a statistical method to place people in the right spot but i can say that even within the grade there are sub-grades... i just sort of felt like putting into words a very vague concept that sort of floated around in my head... how do you differentiate btw intimates, confidantes, good friends, friends,cliques, acquaintances, colleagues, associates and all the jargon used to describe human inter-personal relationships... If you were to ask me the exact ranking i can't give you an answer as i don rank people based on immediate impression or short interaction... as these things are so arbitrary... but if you have given me an impression of sorts i can tell you... Being A1 or A2 does not mean you all share the same qualities but you have touched me as a friend with a certain quality or qualities that i find valuable... You may not be a confidante to fall in this category sometimes being a foil is all that is necessary... like in the previous definition... my best friends are those who criticise me but that does not mean everybody who does that automatically qualifies... there are somethings which i call tests of friendship and if passed this would constitute an automatic promotion... I do not engineer any tests of sorts but when it comes i know and i monitor the results... Anyway this does not mean B3 or below will b like damnation but it may mean that i don exactly talk to you much to begin with and i dunno you that well to make a fairly accurate conclusion... anyway people do get demoted... rarely tho and will not say any names here... If your names appear as they are on my blog you can be sure of one thing... you are good... I will refine this another day but if i go on there will be no end to this so i shall conclude for the day... renal physio calls me away...
Can somebody teach me how to add a comments box or whatever? thanks
