Well thank you Pat you can be a number 2 for me too! But why is it out of order, because 1 and 3 seem pretty the same?
No i think it is in the right order, the order of importance. The most important type of friend is the #1. The second is the most common. The third is a degree removed. IN other words, someone who is not on eZabel all the time or at all might be aware of it an not opposed. But the don't disapprove of our obsession, so they are friends of Ezabel..
option 1 is a true friend, someone you confide in, and trust in. They help you when you need help, and even when you don't.
option 3 is more like our christian brotherhood. You don't know them well, but they are on your side, and will help you.
