One of my own definitions of "who is a good friend", is whether I remember their birthdays, AND at least drop a text to say Happy Birthday (or send a Guess bag in a parcel from Sydney HOR CHEECHER LIU???).
I am very good at remembering birthdays - even the most random acquaintances'. Whether I bother to say Happy Birthday is another story, and like I said, it's one of my definitions of who is a friend to me.
However, from now on I will have a new "clause" for myself.
Those whom I had texted, but didn't reply and didn't have a valid reason for not replying, will cease to be a good friend.
Valid reasons include coma, death, and that you honestly didn't receive the text somehow. Otherwise, even if you are really fucking busy at the moment or during the entire day (highly unlikely), there will ALWAYS be a chance to reply - it's only whether you want to or not.
Don't come and tell me fucking bullshit like how you are at Antarfuckingtica or Brafuckingzil or wherever and therefore just bu liao liao zhi and hence no reply.
Of course you can say the entire world texted you and it'd be daaaamn expensive to reply everyone, but I refuse to believe that there is not a pool of selected (good) friends that you WOULD reply to, regardless where you are.
So my point is, if I am not even worth a long-distance text reply, it shows that 1) I am not in that selected pool of good friends, 2) you cannot be bothered, and therefore, I shall not be bothered. Because dude - it took ME a long-distance text also.
I am angry with myself for not listening to friends who had told me not to give a flying fuck - I actually wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt to prove yourself, and to prove myself wrong.
I can't believe you actually proved me right all over again. And at the e-x-a-c-t same issue.
Well done.
From now on, no more niceties from me.
I would rather take the coins and throw it in a hobo's dirty hat.
