Ooooh, you're my best friend

John Deacon's nauseating lyrics aside, a mate is....

  • someone you are braying with laughter with, 2 minutes after meeting, despite not seeing them for six months,
  • someone who has your best interests at heart,
  • someone who challenges you intellectually,
  • someone you can have a philosophical row with, without either of you taking it remotely personally,
  • someone who strokes your ego....and punctures your pomposity
  • someone who makes you feel good about yourself,
  • someone who guesses all your secrets...but makes you confess them anyway,
  • someone you trust with those secrets,
  • someone you can share the good stuff, the sad stuff, the scary stuff and the scandalous stuff,
  • someone who fancies you just enough to remind you that you are sexy
  • someone I'm glad I know

And when they something, and you realise that that is why you're friends with them.

Oh, so what Z said.

Also, it's worth watching out for when some of these things no longer apply ... :(
