Quote from Jessicapierce talking about a new friend:
J. says, Did I ever tell you about... I smile because I only met his face four days ago,
we hardly have an Ever, but it's the right thing to say.
When does it happen?
when do conversations create enough of a bond that
acquaintance becomes friend
It is not simply a number, because I have talked to the counterperson at
my local gas station hundreds of times
yet they remain simply: person behind counter
Mathematicians might say it is about the nature of the conversations
a qualitative measure
not quantiative
If/then
At some hard to define point
the language changes
Formal melts into Familiar
When you and I are close enough to whisper in each other ears
you will tell me about your future
I will tell you what I remember
