Floyd and I are very similar in nature and habits as well as relatively alike in our choices in life. We have been friends for over a year, and I know one thing for sure; my life would have been very dull and monotonous if it were not for my friend Floyd. We like to eat together, play together, listen to music together and if we are happy enough; we dance about a bit too. Floyd lives with me; he sleeps in my room, but we don’t share the bed. He can sleep anywhere he finds room; such as on the chair for my study table, or on the rug in my room and sometimes he likes me to lay open a sleeping bag for him on one side of the room, so he has a bed of himself too.
Although I love Floyd with all my heart, there are times when he does annoy me a lot, and I really wish he could mend his ways. For instance, when I come back from school at 3 pm I would find him lying on my bed, and my bed would be unmade still. My mother leaves for work early around 7:30 pm, and I too have to leave for school a few minutes after her, so the only person free enough to that that job is Floyd. And even if I argue with him over not helping me he only puts it off each time. Since I’m always in a rush in the mornings, I have a problem of throwing my clothes all over the room in search of a perfect outfit, that I try out three or four times, but when I come home I will find my friend Floyd sitting on my computer or looking for my novels, but he won’t bother picking them up and putting them away in my closet even though he does nothing else all day. I’m the one studying, attending classes, and then I have to be the one fixing everything as well which takes half the day away.
Also, Floyd and I are the ones who do everything together so naturally we eat together as well. However, he is a complete good-for-nothing when it comes to eating in peace. He doesn’t put his food on his plate by himself, so I have to do that for him. He constantly interrupts my meals because he needs something or the other during his meal, so I have to serve him three to four times. It really angers me because I like to eat without interruptions. Another habit of his that really annoys me is the way he eats because he usually drops his food while eating, insists that he will not drink his milk unless I give him a straw in the glass. He drops the straw too, so he needs two or three during one meal. He is my friend, so I show patience with his behavior. But he needs to work on his careless behavior. This habit of his angers my mother as well because she likes everything to be done on time especially the dishes, which are kept dirty for an hour after lunch or dinner since Floyd eats very lazily.
Having a friend like Floyd keeps me very happy because he takes my loneliness away and gives me company all the time, however he is lazy and inept at times which make me infuriated as he doesn’t even try to work on his bad habits.
