Bat In the Bushes

I will never understand how John works. Our favorite thing to do is basically whine about people, or rather our inability to have people in our lives romantically. John does this a lot. Like a lot a lot. It makes me laugh. I seriously have no problem listening to him vent! I agree with a lot of what he says, and it makes me feel good that he cares about my opinion. Besides, with John? Never a dull moment. But last night, after talking for a while, he decided THE ONLY WAY HE COULD REPAY THE DEBT is to have me mope and whine for a while. I wasn't aware he was in debt. But he insisted. So I got to have a little fit. It was just nice having him listen. And I realized how much he care about me as a friend. He, not even jokingly, was ready to give some of my exs a mouthful, or a bat to the face. Which, as I told him, IS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. AND ALSO ILLEGAL. MOSTLY UNNECESSARY. But still, it felt nice to see that he wasn't just bored by my whining, he actually cared and wanted to make sure I was happy. He said "the difference between you and me is you actually deserve to find somebody". As much of a fool as this kid is, he deserves it, too. Maybe more.
