In Good Company...
/Be honest, every once in a while, when you are with your friends, don't you dream of an upgrade. The chance to hang with the cool kids. Sure you know cool people, maybe you even consider yourself one. But let's face it, the fictional ones are always a step up. And if they are trapped on the page, they can't judge our coolness. We can imagine ourselves as their best friend, their lover, their mentor and maybe even their hero. We can dream right?
