sammygirly: My BEST friend is Maximillian - but you all know that. I thought I'd try a new person for yall...
My best friend is a 29-year old gay male who is terrified of the approaching 3-0. I've known him only for 5 years now, but it seems like forever. We operate much of the time, on the same wavelength.
When we don't, it's my sensible side to his emotional side - both of which compliment each other very nicely. We take turns at being in charge...him at home, me at work. It's funny really - the extreme role reversals.
I met him at work - he dropped off his resume and we all laughed at his purple silk shirt and speculated on his sexuality (office women are gossips extreme - even about those we don't even know). After he was hired, we just kinda hit it off....and now it's as if we're joined at the hip.
Hell, we even get written up together - regardless of whether we both committed the crime.
We worked side by side creating a department at work, and making it work...and now, even though I've changed departments, and floors - we're still as close as ever, working steadily off each other.
He's pissed me off more than almost any other person. He's held me when I cried. He stole a little stuffed goat to make me smile when I was in a bad place. He let me sleep in his bed the night my ex moved out so I wouldn't have to be alone, and moved in with me a week later.
He's a queen - but he's mine and he just might be a keeper.
