You say that you are clingy as if it is a bad thing – I, for one, would welcome it. However, I would not wish upon you the misery that would undoubtedly ensue if you were to be publicly associated with the likes of me.

Anyway, nobody gets to tell me who my friends are. I may be very fortunate in that so far all my friends like each other, when they meet, but all the same I make my own choices.
