Number 23, 2008
the best part about turning 23, besides the fishbowl margarita...
"so for your birthday i present to you, 24 reasons why i love my best friend. one on every hour for the next 24 hours.
#24: you've taught me the importance of 'one day at a time' a seemingly simple lesson that only few really master. we are among those few, thanks to you.
#23: no one else would agree to a last minute trip to gator country to watch the florida-florida state game at 100 dollars a ticket.
#22: even though you're a white girl, you understand the importance of 'holla we want prenup, yea!' and 'edgewata-wata!'
#21: for picking a brown girl.
#20: for quotes like, 'yeah well you should feel bad because i had a baby. that's right, a baby.'
#19: you make me be your spokeswoman. whether i want to or not. whether it's a good idea or not.
#18: you think things like 'yea, your mom's a bitch' and 'that's ass' are both appropriate and funny.
#17: you help me with my english. if it weren't for you, i'd still be saying 'suit' instead of 'soot.'
#16: no one else thinks three-breakfast days and sandy donuts sounds appetizing.
#15: because to you, traffic safety and road rules come second when fountains with bubbles are involved.
#14: you convince me that it's ok that we still live in high school and that no matter where life takes us, we won't feel as safe and alive as we did in '03.
#13: just like lemon and lime were mixed to make one of the greatest drinks of all time, you and i must have been brought together to make one of the greatest friendships of all time.
#12: you help me make the best inside jokes as if it were our job.
#11: for helping me realize that nothing was going to change our world. for introducing me to the men who spoke the words, 'with our love, we could save the world...if they only knew.'
#10: for being my silent pillar of strength. there's never a need of constant reassurance because no matter how much time passes in between, each phone call seems as if the previous one never ended.
#9: for loving me when i'm sober...and even more so when i'm wasted.
#8: critics give your sexy time two thumbs up. so even hot jon h. wants his share. not long before mack gets word of the milkshake that really brings all the boys to the yard.
#7: you showcase determination for things you feel strongly about. like not eating for a week just to be able to fully enjoy the tastes of new orleans dining.
#6: you keep me assured that no matter how bad things get, it'll all get better and will one day all be ok.
#5: for miraculously always being at your phone whenever i need to talk.
#4: for giving a whole new meaning to the term 'douchebag.'
#3: you can't have macaroni without cheese.
#2: you helped me realize that cats give me swollen eye. and make me closer to death than i'd ever like to be.
#1: for being born. i can't imagine my life without you. you make me comfortable in my own skin. i understand that sometimes your hard work goes unnoticed but i'm so proud of who you've become and i think you have a lot more good stuff in store for you than you think.
happy birthday pretty. even though i'm not there, i'm celebrating with you in spirit. i love you and i'm so proud to be your friend."
pinky, thank YOU for loving me no matter what. you don't ask me to be anything or anyone that i'm not. you love me for me, with every single one of my eccentricities, good or bad. you are the first true love of my life. please don't ever leave me, or i will kill you <3 x 21
