·  Yep, I’ve been keyboard-tied for reasons that were beyond my control. Now it’s going to be the flood of posts as of right now.

I believe closeness between friends is all about rhythm and not much more.

I can think of many examples but this is becoming clearer and clearer to me as I have more and more experience at living: when people have a matching pace in terms of the way they think and express themselves, which ultimately affects their verbal ping-pong they would have a better chance of becoming great friends. Character, interests, other aspects of demeanor have less to do with it.
