What are friends for?

• To gate crash at your home on every birthday, getting spare cakes so that you can do more than just eat them.
  
• To expect you to listen to them even when they are at their worst and you are not at your best. 
• To turn tell you how monstrous you looked in that flouroscent shirt. "You should have instead worn the floral one! "
• To confide in you how cute they found that girl who just passed by to be which was exactly what you were going to tell them.
• To give you advice, free and unlimited, sometimes unnecessary.  
• To wish you luck a million times, saying "You will be just fine" before you put yourself to a real test in this cruel world. You even get "Good Luck" surprise parties.
• To ask you for treats on every occassion. Your birthday. Treat! You won a prize. Treat! You shaved. Treat!
• To reinstate faith when you think you are being sucked in a black hole. "No it's ok. They won't touch your arm. They will only chop your finger"
• To fuel your imagination. "Imagine Salma Hayek is standing right here in my bedroom" "Yeah,  and she is naked."
• To have group therapy sessions on how scared we are of flunking in the upcoming exam, when we haven't ever got less than a first class.
• To inform you before anyone else of their latest buy as if it is a conquest.
• To visit your blog and then call you up to tell you how much they liked it in stead of commenting.
• To give you wake up calls in the middle of the night when you have to burn the mid-night's oil. 
• To take you for coffee at 3AM in the morning just because they want to have coffee.
• To go on treks with you, no matter how underprepared you are for them.
• To give you a crash course in a subject when you have an ocean to complete and very little time.
• To go on drives with as many as 13 people packed in a single car. 
• To have movie marathons with, where you end up watching as many as 5 movies in a single night despite being drunk.
• To be the only people who you have a full right to scold.
• To play pranks on without the fear of repurcussions. Almost. My friend once was almost about to turn me in since she thought I was her dreaded stalker.
• To call you up and ask for "instant tips on how to start a convo with a girl you have seen on your morning walks" when standing next to her!
• To cry without the fear of being mocked, unless its for a lost sock.
• To be the only people who you can talk to without thinking and still appear 'wise'.

Thanks for being there. I know I will make it.
