Two Testimonials

By Incorrigible Introvert

The First One
——————————–

I am going to say such nice things about him that it might look like I am being blackmailed into this testimonial, but nothing could be farther than the truth. ;)

He is my oldest friend, and if you discount the mickey mouse he received on his eighth birthday, I’m his oldest friend too. Seriously, he is one of the greatest guys you’ll ever meet, and I am not kidding, and for the last time, I’m not being blackmailed into saying this.

He is handsome for one thing, really really handsome, as some of you might already have noticed, and he is necessarily equipped to back up his handsomeness. There, I said it, and you can take my word for it.

He is warm-hearted, but far from being hot blooded. Sensible, mature, intelligent, with a funny bone that is not immediately apparent, great social manners, what more could you ask from a guy?! No, I am not being blackmailed into selling him to girls either. No, seriously, I mean all of what I have said.

I’ll join his Orkut Fan List sometime soon, I swear. :)

The Second One
——————————–

It is tragic the way I have been in love with him behind his back all these years. Half the time that I spend talking to him, I think of kissing him – and he doesn’t have a clue. I am sure he isn’t going to believe this testimonial either. If only Orkut allowed us to write the testimonials in
blood… but alas! It is not to be so. Fate has other cruel plans.

I know this is the part where I praise him. But I think those trivialities are better left unexplained. I am not going to thank him for being the beautiful person that he is, though I could, and perhaps I should, but I never would, for I fell in love with him face flat first. Rephrasing an overused cliche, I could almost say that I love him, therefore I exist.

And yes, it was for you that I wrote, “it takes all my courage not to treat you with the passion I have for you.” The prank was only an excuse for letting the thought out of my chest.

It wasn’t only Yeats who wished for the clothes of heaven. Tread softly, because you tread on my heart.

I wouldn't pretend I have a worthy tale to tell, I have only the ramifications of a twisted mind to sell.

It's been 1 year, 6 months since this was posted. Stashed up as Funny and The Diary of a Fugitive.

    @fj
    Your admiration has compelled me for this clarification!

    I am the person who wrote those two testimonials. This fact will make you look at the second testimonial in a new light, and you might begin to understand why they were written in the first place! Particularly after I tell you that both the testimonials were written for the same person. :)

    And I think the mild sarcasm of the first one is self evident! :)

    Quite… um, um, deceptively serious. (The ‘um’s were when I was trying to remember the word ‘deceptively’.)
