Well, I've been doing some serious thinking, and I'm curious as to what everyone thinks of me. Do you think I'm a good friend? If not (or if so, for that matter), what could I do to be a better friend?
I think Mike McQueen (is the Q capitalized? I don't think I even spelled that right. dammit) is a great guy. I don't know you all too well, but, hey, keep the karma good and keep everything one big tomato soup question and I'm sure you'll reach Nirvana in one life or another (of course, if that's not what you're striving for...um...don't eat tomato soup). I do believe I'm rambling. So in a short answer to the first question: yes.
it's THE tomato soup question! (for some reason a lot of people don't know what the tomato soup question is. are you from the east side of the state or the west?
A tomato soup question would be a question you're curious about but it's only that, curiousity. Nothing more, nothing less. EX. at a restaraunt ask the waiter(ress) if they have tomato soup. They usually assume you want some, but you really don't. You just wanted to know if they have tomato soup.
I suggest keeping tomato soup questions because life is full of curiousity. If you're not curious...what's the point? AND if you're not curious, that would make you way uninteresting. and who likes uninteresting people?
now fortified with your daily recommended allowance of TACT!
we used to be good friends, way back when, but then we stopped really talking about anything important, and it somehow got to the point of us being like... cactus' that don't really fit in a house's style. "hey look, that's my cactus. it's umm a cactus, nothing more." ' you're 'mike,' and that's about it. and i'm 'david' and that's also just it.
but there's limitless potential, if we both want to be friends again, and care about one another, and take time for one another. just like any friends, sucka!
Good, good, this is the kind of honesty that I was hoping for. So, do you think that talking about important things is a necessity for a friendship, or could you have a friendship based around "tomato soup" questions? And... that's my only question, the rest of your post makes perfect sense.
well see our friendship seems to be nothing but tomato soup questions, which is to say there is no depth to it, and thus that it's not a very good friendship, while if we had those, plus sometimes deeper things, then it could be a much better friendship
and that leads into an answer for mark. 'important' refers to important (tautology!) things in a life. things like goals, values, cares, concerns, etc. its when the two people involved step beyond the boundaries of who they are separately, and actually expose some vunerability to one another, they let one another actually see the inside, and also affect the inside. seeing the inside, but not letting people affect that, isnt vunerable, it's transparent. but vunerable, for better or worse, is what makes friendships deep. it lets you rejoice at seeing your friend accomplish a goal, and it lets you weep with them with problems you may not even be able to help.

PS. As I said up there, I'll answer you question. I just won't do it here in the wide world of LJ.
