As of 20th June, 2009, 10. 04 pm, I am proud to present to you probably the ONLY person in the entire facebook community who hasn’t taken even one of the “How Well Do You Know Me” quizes. *applaud*
You know what I found extremely funny during this whole “You Know Me-Oh-So-Well-Lets-Rock-Out” quiz season? People who flaunted their friendship so much during school/non-school days turned out to know their BFFs very badly. I am not saying that the basis of friendship be placed on this stupid quiz, but I find it really funny somehow.
“Best Friends” sticking their faces together in every other picture showing off their closeness, apparently sucked at really knowing their friends from the heart. That is what lacks in todays friendship. You don’t make real friends just by gluing your faces together. Where is the question the lost real meaning of being a FRIEND? Of confidence in each other, knowing each other so well that you’d never regretted any single day with him/her, feeling optimistic with them…I can go on. How many of them will you *really* find beside you 10 years from now? That is for you to find out.
“Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.”

FB quizzes are great if you are totally jobless. I always laugh when I find that SCARILY ACCURATE label on the messages they send in the quiz invites.
Talking about friends. Its a very tough question.10 years from now eh? These days, its hard to stay close to a friend. Especially at the pace with which life is moving.

There are lots of things of the same nature other than that stupid quiz.
These things are as popular as they are stupid; a good way to know how much time people have to kill.
BTW, I just re-started my blog! Yahoo!

Thankfully, neither me nor any of my friends have gotten into this saddening soup!

For me, the line should be – Truly great friends are hard to find, impossible to leave.
That’s it. There is no question of forgetting.

I’m habituate in ignoring all types of quizzes that requested to join by my friends. I don’t really understand what other use do those quizzes have instead of waste of time. I was really surprised and a bit frustrated when I saw my sweetie is also taking part in these quizzes. But I don’t hesitate to ignore those quiz requests sent by her.

“Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.” Perfectly said!
There’s only one person in my life whom I trust more than myself. And she’s a perfect friend with whom I love to share each and everything happening in my life! You won’t believe this. I shared the *misunderstanding* we both had on #Twitter (which I felt, was such a silly thing
)
Understanding each other and forgetting all misunderstandings is what I call a perfect friendship/relationship

hmhm……
Friends has become one of the most often over rated word and also the most often under rated word of our generation today.
It takes time 2 find a good frd and also time 2 get to know him. but when all we not have is time in our daily lives- how can we really find frds????

I thought I wouldn’t take them either but I did give in in the end. Well, I’ll satisfy myself that I haven’t made my own “How Well Do You Know Me?” Quiz. And I’m never gonna make it because all the people on my Facebook are my online friends and I don’t expect them to know the answers to the stupid questions I conjure up.
I would like to differ when it comes to best friends, though. I don’t think one can measure their friendship by being able to answer the questions your friend thinks up. There are a lot of things I don’t know about my best friend and a lot of things that my best friend doesn’t know about me but that doesn’t make us any lesser friends. The thing is that the questions you put out there are more factual than thinking based. As a best friend, I would know how my friend might react in a particular situation but I might not know detailed things about her/his life. It’s more about understanding the person rather than “knowing” them. Plus most of these quizzes work on guesses. I personally won’t give 2 hoots if my best friend gets a 0% on my quiz. I know s/he’s my friend and that’s what’s important for me. It is never possible that you get to know your “real” friends using these stupid quizzes.

I second Ish’s opinion. Good to know that youngsters today think like that.
26 June, 2009 at 11:49 pm
I didn’t give in either!! So that makes 2 of us! Now we need to make a quiz that asks, how many quizzes did you and I do? and the real answer will be none, but no one knows that… Booyaa!

I totally agree. For me the test of true friendship is the ability to have a conversation with same energy and interest, a month after parting, a year after parting, and a decade after parting. For me the test of true friendship is the ability to understand one’s silence. I love the saying, “The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you ever had.”
But I am adamant on clicking pics with friends. You know it!!!
