There are some friends you will forgive almost anything. You lend them favourite books you will never see again. You bail them out at three in the morning, knowing they got so drunk they ordered pizza and tried to rob the delivery guy. Again. No. It’s cool. They wore a ski mask this time. To disguise themselves. And you just laugh. Because they’re your friend.
I think it’s a bit related to that phenomenon of retaining a great affinity for the music (and music styles) of the music you liked in a certain period of your teens.
With those friends (as JB describes) who are really special blood brothers and sisters, I think it is those people you bond with when you are still forming as an adult. After about age 23, it’s probably unlikely you’ll get another.
I thought this was familiar, well worth a re-reading. Can we agee to never use the word 'frolleagues’.
I love you. No question. Never met. I consider you kith and kin. This. Will you close your eyes to me?
I needed to read this tonight. Thank you JB. I even liked Tasmanian Babes Fiasco

Thanks JB. You've inspired me to reach out to a friend who I thought had faded into the mists of history. Hopefully it will go well.
