I rarely post a drunken thread so please hang on with me for a few moments.

I've just got in from a night with one of my housemates. We had planned to go out for a pub meal then a few drinks and ended up in a club until just now. I would have stayed later but have to be up at 7 in the morning.

I just wanted to say to you all that you should really take a step back and look at who your tyrue friends really are.

This guy is someone that I;ve known for a few years but never felt that close to, but after tonight would class as one of my closest friends.

He doesn't care about how I classify myself, whether that be in terms of sexuality or beleif. All he cares about is that we get one, we agree to respect each others thoughts, we don't judge each other, etc etc.

After four years of Uni I have met so many people, but surprisingly few are willing to give people a chance before judging them. I have probably 4 or 5 close friends that I really feel I could tell anything to and have them accept what I say and not judge me. One of this small group is an OcUK member by the name of [TW]Fox. I've only met him in real life a couple of times but he seems like a genuinely sound guy.

Anyway, I'm rambling, and thansk for hearing me out, in case I didn't make it above, my main point is that there may be a lot of people around you that could be much closer friends than you think, and at the same point a lot of friends may not ccept you for who you are when you are finally courageous enough to be genuinely open with them.

If you accept me for who I am and do not judge me, you will be a true friend and I will never push my beleifs and views onto you. That is what counts. I will listen to you and offer advice even if I do not feel as you do, and if you do the same in return even if you do not feel as I do, then you are a true friend.

Nice sentiments :).

Tolerance and mutual understanding are the key to a happy existence IMO. Everybody is different and that's something which should be relished.
