As we grow older it seems that Friends wont save us any more that we thought love would in our youth. On there own they cannot sustain you, but loving even one good friend completely will keep you in good stead for many lifetimes.

	Sentimental drivel. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hard truth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ernestoic 2013-06-10 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	If it's your truth, then that is all that matters. It will be apparent in the spaces between the words. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Not when they grow old and die and leave you behind. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	f_scott 2013-06-11 07:58 am UTC (link)
	Well death is one of the great yet tragic inevitabilities of life. If you have all loved well then surely parting need not be sorrowful? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	macleod1518 2013-06-11 09:48 am UTC (link)
	It depends how long you have to wait to join them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	f_scott 2013-06-12 05:58 am UTC (link)
	Well yes, it does I suppose. Have you met my friend Ernest? I think the two of you would get along. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	macleod1518 2013-06-12 04:17 pm UTC (link)
	I have met him, and I crossed paths with him back home too, several years in the future. Very fun man to have around most times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	f_scott 2013-06-12 05:49 pm UTC (link)
	Oh I see! I haven't known him to long myself. But he is a very dear friend, I'm glad you agree! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	gatz 2013-06-11 12:51 pm UTC (link)
	Hmm, you think so? ~~If I haven't already~~ I imagine it helps if they love you back as well. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	f_scott 2013-06-11 01:38 pm UTC (link)
	They wouldn't be much of a best friend if they didn't, old sport. You only need one true friend to know all of the love in the world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-06-11 01:39 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, I suppose so. Hmm. It's a nice thought. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	f_scott 2013-06-11 01:46 pm UTC (link)
	It is true! I have yet to no a greater or deeper love than that between my best friend and I. Though he may deny its depths it doesn't mean I cant feel it. Beautiful thing, love. Dangerous in the hands of the wrong sort but delightful if you take care. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-06-11 01:49 pm UTC (link)
	I'm glad for you. You are terribly lucky to feel so sure. Dangerous, yes. Perhaps I am more familiar with that edge of the sword. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	f_scott 2013-06-11 01:53 pm UTC (link)
	Oh come along, my good fellow. There must be some chap you find to be a decent sort. Well, maybe not even a decent sort, just the person you feel at your undiluuted best with. I would rather sit four sleepless nights with my good fried Ernest, writing and having him tell me I'm a talented waster than an hour with my wife some days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-06-11 02:06 pm UTC (link)
	Well, yes. Yes. I have the very fellow in mind right now, but- I- may have got a little carried away. It doesn't matter, I won't burden you with my silly problems. It's a nice sentiment, anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	f_scott 2013-06-11 02:14 pm UTC (link)
	A burden shared is no more a burden, just two friends carrying a load. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-06-11 03:52 pm UTC (link)
	Ah, but you barely know me. And so it would just be an unwelcome overshare. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	f_scott 2013-06-11 04:10 pm UTC (link)
	Well clearly you have had terrible friends in the passed. My name is Scott. Now I am no longer a stranger to you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-06-11 04:59 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. Only one who is really worth anything. Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Scott. I'm Gatsby. Jay. You can call me Jay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	f_scott 2013-06-11 05:12 pm UTC (link)
	Well. Good Lord. What a coincidence. Well, I'm sure am pleased to meet you, Jay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-06-11 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	Why is it a coincidence? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	f_scott 2013-06-11 05:55 pm UTC (link)
	I wrote a character of your name ones. He was my greatest creation to date. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-06-11 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, how curious. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	gatz 2013-06-11 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	Scott. Fitzgerald? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	f_scott 2013-06-12 05:56 am UTC (link)
	Oh yes, old sport. Hello there! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-06-12 10:20 am UTC (link)
	You! You're the scoundrel who found and published Nick's journal! And you have the cheek to say that you created me? I suppose you thought that was dead and could never say a damn thing against you, but bad luck, old sport. I'm very much alive here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	f_scott 2013-06-12 10:51 am UTC (link)
	I'm ever so sorry, old sport! There seems to be a mix up. I wrote a novel last year. I don't know what you're talking about, my dear fellow. I'm sorry if there's a mix up! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-06-12 10:56 am UTC (link)
	What year was that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	f_scott 2013-06-12 10:58 am UTC (link)
	1925, dear man. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-06-12 11:27 am UTC (link)
	Well, there we go, then. If you're talking about The Great Gatsby, Nick wrote it in 1922. So I think we both know who the liar is, here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	f_scott 2013-06-12 12:11 pm UTC (link)
	Now look here, I don't know what you're trying to say or why you're trying to cause a ruckus but I won't have it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-06-12 12:15 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not the one causing a ruckus here. You took his personal writing, his private journals, and you published them for the whole world to see! And now everyone knows, and- it's your fault. How can you just act as if it was your right to claim ownership of his writing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	f_scott 2013-06-12 02:38 pm UTC (link)
	Listen, sir, I was amused at first when you told me your name but this is begining to get rather personal. I would appreciate if you just left it alone, whatever your motivation is for this prank. I have copies if you would like to see them. draghs of the novel. not that i need to justify myself to you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-06-12 02:43 pm UTC (link)
	There is nothing amusing about it. Only because you made it personal. I don't need to see anything of yours, I know myself, I know Mr Carraway, and I know that I wasn't dreamt up in 1925. This is ridiculous. I am Jay Gatsby. You can hardly expect to fool me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	f_scott 2013-06-12 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	Sir, Nick Carraway is a man of my own creation. True he is my most beautiful and magnificent creation, but still. He is not real. He is a work of fiction. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-06-12 06:24 pm UTC (link)
	Don't be ridiculous. Nick Carraway is my neighbour- he was my neighbour, now he is my housemate. He's my friend, and he's real. He's very real. Why don't you come over for tea, I'm sure he'd be just delighted to meet the man who stole his journal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	f_scott 2013-06-12 06:41 pm UTC (link)
	Of course he is. I would absolutely love to come over for tea. Yes. I will. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatz 2013-06-12 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	Good. Whenever would suit you. Mansion by the beach, you won't miss it. It's probably sprung from your own imagination, after all. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Scott ernestoic 2013-06-12 06:40 pm UTC (link)
	Careful, Fitz. Sounds like this one's on the run from the sanitorium. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ernie f_scott 2013-06-12 06:42 pm UTC (link)
	I know. He sounds a few sandwiches short of a picnic. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	ernestoic 2013-06-11 02:07 pm UTC (link)
	Christ, I had the sickening fear that you were talking about me. You're soft in the head, you know that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	f_scott 2013-06-11 02:11 pm UTC (link)
	Only because you alredy new it to be true. Plants can only grow in spring if their seeds already lay in the ground. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ernestoic 2013-06-11 02:13 pm UTC (link)
	Just because you think you can outwit me with your damned logic, doesn't mean you're not a sentimental fool. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	f_scott 2013-06-11 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	Sentiment is not a point to snear at. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ernestoic 2013-06-11 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	I beg to differ, but then, you knew that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	f_scott 2013-06-11 05:54 pm UTC (link)
	Of course. We are the two poles of God's creation and our friendship is the earth that moves harmoniously in between us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ernestoic 2013-06-11 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	If you say so, Fitz. (Reply to this) (Parent)
