Te audire non possum. Musa sapientum fixa est in aure - I can't hear you. I have a banana in my ear

Friendship is a powerful conduit. It allows for all kinds of harassment in the name of love. In fact, the "secrets" that we hold over our friends' heads are in fact the glue that binds us. The more tragic, the more desperate, the more life-altering ... the stronger the bond. It should be that only true friends hold that kind of power over us, but that's not always the case.

The fabric of friendship is woven with threads of happiness, tears, shared adventure, memories and a wealth of inside jokes. It is what protects us and cloaks us in warmth when we're cold from the inside out. Lux has saved me from the cold before. I'll take her friendship with me always.

Alter ipse amicus.

We're not the same people we were when we began this journey, are we Boy? Through "happiness, tears, shared adventure, memories and a wealth of inside jokes" we've transformed into better, stronger, wiser individuals ... and truer, deeper, more steadfast friends.

Amicitiae nostrae memoriam spero sempiternam fore.

Nah, I don't 'spero' ... ego teneo.

But a good kinda pain, right? *wink* By the way, I'll need pictures of said butt cheek for verification. Happy belated birthday Wendy.

Thanks Boy, well next time Lux and I are doing our famous mud wrestling I will have the camera man zoom in on my cheek so you can see her pinch marks. ;)
