I appreciate some friends with an awe,simply because as time goes by,they become like cherished bottles of fine wines. Sometimes when u first meet them,u have no idea yrs later, you would be evaluating them like this with a wry smile on yr face as u remember the earlier episodes of how u both met.
Min,u used to sit behind me in secondary sch,and faithfully kick my chair and annoy me literally to death day in and day out. It was fascinating how u could do this regularly without fail,to a religious fervent degree. And yes, u get top prize for your perseverance.However,we shared an amicable understanding that chemistry lessons were meant as a suicide mission to aggravate our very curt and no-nonsense teacher. So we drove her to a mystical madness by our wacky antics and wisecracks.Crackerjack,Min. We both were. I think we had this interesting bubbly energy where we would hurl demeaning insults in the most creative ways at each other. Somehow along the way,I became a brinjal and Gargamel from Smuffs. I think Min was anti semite,because she was obviously subconsciously trying to associate my dad's jewish nose to Gargamel, and I got implicated somehow.Yes Min,bite me. I am slandering u a T and lovin it like how JT loves singing he's lovin it for Mc Dees.Alright,so u think I AM Gargamel because u LIKE it for NO REASON.
Min,u were MinMin,and i loved cooing it to an annoying degree that gave u the eebies jeebies.U were also blackie and "idiot" whenever I decided to hurl abuse at u for making me seasick with the chair kicking. Do u see a physiotherapist right now for your weak ankles? If i were u,i would. Because out of the 100 kicks u gave my poor chair per day, it meant rhumatism for u at an exaggerated premature age.
However, I appreciate the latent conversations of late. I felt I finally grasped the angles of your madness somehow. Previously U used to belong in a straitjacket in my fond memory and bound by chains, but right now I do think it wouldn't be so bad to live next door in the same asylum. Maybe we could do an ala Girl Interrupted and sneak a chicken under the bed too and bowl at twillight hours. What say you?:)
Thank U. For your vote of confidence,for the memories and the straightforward genuine no laced talk u've always given me. U do have little caring moments,like how u inquired abt my friend who might be a suspect for having a middle age crisis. Or when u told me u liked reading abt the Lil Goat, I hope u weren't thinking mutton curry like Felix did too. :)
