I literally spent all of last last weekend laughing about caramel macchiatos and toilets with Minnie when she came from Jinju to stay with me for a night. Laughing until you're sweating, out of breath, red in the face, and halfway to your goal of a toned stomach is one of the hallmarks of a great friendship.
This week is the final count-down until Alex's birthday party this Saturday. We're going to Gimhae Lotte Waterpark before drinking, dancing, and being merry at night. Oscar Wilde once said that "between men and women there is no friendship possible...there is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship". He is in my opinion, one of the most astute, witty, and brilliant writers that ever lived but I must disagree.
There can be friendship between men and women who are not attracted to each other. That's not to say they're not attractive people. It's just that there's no attraction there.
If there is one-sided attraction but the feelings are well-hidden, they can still be friends.
If the one-sided attraction is obvious with flirting and hinting, but the other person pretends they don't notice or plays it off cool, they can still be friends.
If the attraction is mutual, but no one ever says anything due to courage or circumstance, they can also stay friends.
Well, that's that.
So for Alex's b-day, I have no swimsuit or beach body. I'm contemplating my chances of obtaining both in a week, and my prospects look bleak.
