on ships, stairs and friendship

I have come to the conclusion that House (still not having told me its name..and I am talking about this House and not House the tv series) is a bit like Serenity the ship. A lot of things are jury rigged,there are an awful lot of steps to go up and down during the course of the day, the galley is usually fairly short but they still have enough character to make it worthwhile.

Ah..but the crew. Well there is a Companion of sorts living forward, but for the rest I guess friends have to do. g0jir0 we can sort of set in as Wash. yzavela can be as shiney as Kaylee. I am not sure I would nominate anyone as Jayne. And I do not have the ability to inspire loyalty that Mal does or the faith of Shepard Book. Perhaps Mr Universe along for the ride? Although that would more likely be neochichiri. All of which leads me to think it has been awhile since I have made a quiz.

And to think of friendship. The problem, as I see it, is that the word is too vague. That is to say, it leads to a fallacious assumption that people are always each other's friends. Which is certainly not the case. I have been friends to a fair number of people over the journey that I would have to say were not truly friends of mine. Which is ok. And I would say that, lonely as I am these days, I probably have more friends..or people becoming friends? than I have had in a long time.

But I still think there should be more linguistic clarity. ah well.

and there was a point?
