Hullo everyone. It's Kitty.

[ Kitty looks a little more normal than she did the last time she made a post on the network, since the last time she made a post on the network she looked like a tiger. She's bright-eyed, cheerful, and has a pair of very elaborate and beautiful earrings. ]

So, I'm taking a class in journalistic methods at the local community college - it's a brilliant class, too, I'm having an excellent time, school really gets much more worthwhile when you get to the college level, doesn't it - and we've been given an assignment to conduct interviews. I know that some of you are willing and happy to help me out and submit to being interviewed. [ Her grin is confident. ] It's nothing too personal, I promise - just some stuff on your attitude towards the locals here, that sort of thing. It'll be fun.

[ This...is not one hundred percent truthful, since the assignment is to interview one person, not the whole community. But, hey, why not do some broad info-gathering, right? ]

Well, you've got to keep in mind that it's hard to meet some of the fans personally. How'm I going to meet someone who only buys our music online?

That being said, I'd guess twenty or so?

Right. And how many of them are friends?

Are we talking groupie friends or go out for a drink with them friends?

Groupies aren't friends.

Groupies can definitely be friends! [ said entirely in a tone of DUH, KITTY. ]

No they can't. Friendships are between equals. A groupie-relationship isn't equal.

So would you think that a boss-employee relationship couldn't be a friendship either?

[rathercommon]

Well - no. That can be a friendship. But that's different.

Sounds like you're picking and choosing what counts a friendship.

No, I'm - honestly judging what counts as a friendship. Look, you see a boss every day, don't you. Plus in an ideal working situation there's no real boss-employee dichotomy. In an ideal situation, the lowest employees own the means of production.
