I was thinking about how I made friends with those crazy kids who stick around for more than a few seconds when I start rambling. On reflection, I really don't know how it happened. (feel free to try to spot yourself here)
One of them makes sense, I mean the offer of sweets seemed to cement our friendship about 30 seconds after we first spoke. [So much so that when she commented me on bebo asking how my day was, I replied saying 'sorry...but who are you?'. Clearly the food thing only works one way, although I do love her now :) ]
Other's included me and my friends sharing an umbrella with one poor guy and nicknaming him 'Fanny'; introducing one newbie to my sweet-seduced friend despite never having met him before and telling him the name he preferred to be known by (please note I managed to get all of this information correct) and finally being introduced to someone with the same name as me by a woman who referred to herself as 'Snowy Owl' and then bonding over home-made hobby horses named Trotter (that was hers) and Overexcited (mine).
So yeah, to anyone struggling with friendships - bribary, cruel nicknames, stalking and imaginary games are the way forward.
