Over the past year, i've done a bit of contemplating as to what determines who are your "good friends", who are your "best friends", and who are just "friends"...the following is what i've deduced:
Friends - occaisional text messages/emails to one another, particularly on birthdays; get together for dinner or what have you approx. once a month; always invited to birthday and/or holiday parties; most definitely invited to weddings; comfortable around them, but not entirely comfortable enough to be completely yourself.
Good Friends - hang out at least once a week; occaisonally chat via FB, AIM or gchat; text messages almost daily; don't need to knock when entering each others' homes; comfortable enough to talk about how itchy your boobs are today.
Best Friends - hang out 3-5 nights a week; have a ridicuous number of inside jokes, therefore there is always something to laugh about; when you say "I'm gonna go the bathroom upstairs so I don't stink up your kitchen", their response is "Ok, I'll stink up the kitchen instead"; there's a "spot" on their couch that's yours and yours alone; you don't have to worry about being yourself around them...........ever.
Fin.
P.S. Best friends also don't judge you for stealing pumpkins and dropping them off at your other friends' porches.
Double Fin.
