Today's one of those special days....
Wow, you know I had this whole long thing written in my head all week and it sounded great and now that I'm typing this...my brain has died on me. *pokes it*
Doesn't matter, I know what I want to say, let's hope it makes a bit more than twin-logic.
Incase somehow you got smacked upside the head with a 2x4 recently and forgot. I love you and I'm beyond thankful for you. You are one of the sweetiest and kindest people I know, you put others before yourself - even when you're not your best - just because being there for friends is that important to you.
Your enthusiasim for things is infectious, your fangirlness is beyond adorable [in the non-OMGOBSESSED sort of way] and even after four years of friendship you are still the only person I can call and talk for more than four hours and not ever have nothing to say. We babble, it's a mutual kind of thing. You go on about your VMhappy and I'll end up fangiling over what Chris did last time I saw him...eventhough you've heard it before.
There are days that I've called you sobbing and in moments I forget why I hurt so much. I think it's a gift and I always feel grateful for it.
For two people who have never physically met we have a special bond that I've never and don't want to ever have with anyone else. We have 'twin-ness' that is just us and even though others might feel left out when put in the middle. I don't care. I adore our friendship and the relationship we have above all else. You don't have to change for me and I don't have to change for you so why ever would we change for someone else. Exactly.
You put up with my moods and you listen to me bitch and squee and my heartache. I know that I can come to you when everything has gone to shit and fallen apart. I can tell you everything and know you won't judge or think ill, you will do what you do best and just be amazing. I can be candid and I can be myself and above all else I can let go every guard I've ever put up. That is worth more to me than I can ever say.
We have more in comon than I ever thought possible and every conversation we find something else. Four hours or more a day on the phone plus IM time... I think that makes us beyond bonded. I know your hidden wickedness ;) and you *cough* attack-dog nature. I love how you get me and you know exactly how I feel in that moment without me even telling you. We're stuck with each other and like I say; it's a good kind of glue.
I adore you so much and I love you beyond words. You've always kept me grounded and floating above water. It's your birthday but I feel like I'm the one with the gift just to have you around. I've said it so many times but I'd be lost. Totally.
You are my very best friend, my twin, my better half, the Ronnie to my Lil, the Kaylee to my Tara and always my Dawnie to my Tara. Most of all you're the levelheaded Liz to my off-the-wall-crazy Jess.
You know how you always say 'Everyone should have a Meg'? Well I think that everyone should have a Court. I have one and I feel too damn lucky; we also know that I'm greedy so I think I'll kinda keep you to myself.
Alright, I think we're both pretty soggy-eyed teary in our Care Bears and tired by now so I'm gonna stop the gushy and wish you nothing but love love and more love on this day. This is your day and you deserve to be happy.
Happy Birthday, dear Lizzie.
Love you, Jess
