Wat are Friends for?

Sometimes i wonder what to define a true friend as. Is one who shares your laughter a true friend; or one who shares your woes; or both? Is it one who can shares the most interesting conversations with you; talking about anything under the stars, moon, cloud, sun, and bird poo poos? Or would true friends be the one that can share 1 hour silence with you? One that does the craziest things with u, like for instance singing " this is the song that doesnt end..." for about an hour?

O and i have more questions to flow along.
Say for example two friends, A and B. A is almost 24/7 together with you, acompanying you to classes, lunch, dinner, and toilet, while B spends 7/24 of her time with you (vice versa). So who is to be define as The Best Friend???
And....do birds of a feather flock together? Or do opposites attract? That is, do u find yourself very different from your close friends or do you identify with them?

Wait one more.... are true friends those who say the nicest things to you; or do they say the truest things to you (which can somtimes be very harsh, like pointing out that you are a twerk who has a chronic financial deficit disease)?

Sounds like some tricky business here eh? but i think i know the answer. A friend indeed is everything indeed!!

Sounds like an all rounder; sounds like an octopus; sounds like an all too perfect human being!!
Eeeeeeks!!!!
