If there were such a thing as the perfect friend, I wonder what the perfect friend for me would be like.  What characteristics would this friend have to have for me to consider them “perfect”?

My perfect friend would have to be a good listener.  Never interrupting me when I am talking.  No matter how much I talk, or what I am talking about. The perfect friend must remain silent, no matter how silly my opinions are.  


My perfect friend would not be judgmental.  In fact they would really have no opinion of their own.  Their opinions about things would be the opinions that I had.  In essence my perfect friend would be a blank slate.  


Loyalty.  My perfect friend would be loyal no matter how poorly I treated them.  If I went from talking to them several times a day, to not speaking to them for weeks, my perfect friend would always be there.  


They would have to be attractive.  Always looking the best that they can.  Making sure they were dressed accordingly based on the seasons and the holidays. 

It has become clear to me that my perfect friend is my blog.  It is always there when I want or need to talk.  It never interrupts my ramblings.  It really is a clean slate, until I put what I want on it.  There have been times when I have ignored blogging for weeks at a time, but it was always ready and available when I decided to start blogging again.  I try and keep it decorated, but not over decorated, based on the seasons or holidays at the time.  It certainly does not make any judgments about what I blog about, for example it will not tell me how silly this particular blog topic is.
