One thing that many people can't understand about my best friend Michael and I, is that we can sleep in the same bed and hug each other to the point of suffocation, and not actually be romantically involved. What can I say? We're one of the rare couples who can have a purely platonic relationship and be the most important people in each other's lives without the element of sex. (We also have something rather important in common - we both like men very very much.)
Last night is a great example of the kind of relationship we have...
(SETTING: Me, a wee bit drunk, settling into bed. Michael stumbles into the room, very drunk.)
MICHAEL: I'll be back soon - Justin and Jason are teaching me the ways of the gay world.
KIRRI: Alright, well, I expect a full report on my desk in the morning.
MICHAEL: No, you'll be hearing about it the second I get back, you won't be getting any sleep.
KIRRI: Looking forward to it.
(CUT TO: Same scene, 30 minutes later; Michael collapsing into bed.)
