The Friend Archetypes of casetheplace

Throughout life, the interpersonal relationships you form essentially repeat the same friend scripts over and over, each friend a variation on your own personal friend archetypes. These are mine.

The Big Dumb Black Dude


He's not really dumb, just kind of bumbling and empty-headed, in a Homer Simpson kind of way. His size and his blackness intimidate most, but casetheplace knows that deep down he has a heart of gold, just like that hooker Julia Roberts played.



The Redhead


From strawberry blonde to carrot top, natural to bottle-bred, she's the Rita Hayworth to my Elizabeth Taylor.



The Gemini

Double the pleasure, double the fun. Double the switchblades when we get into a brawl.



The Pen Pal

Friends that are at least 1000 miles away are the closest friends of all.



The Ghost From the Past

Oh my god, where have you been for the past five years?! Let's pick up where we left off!



The Instant BFF 4 EVR!

Love you like a sister until we fall out, then I'll hate you like the heifer I secretly always knew you were.


The Colleague/Partner in Gossip

Did you hear what Cheryl said to Austin?/Gossip is the glue of true sisterhood.
