Why Best Friends are Awesome

10 Reasons Why My Best Friend Is My Best Friend:

1. Even though she's in Ohio and I'm in South Carolina, she STILL dedicates a Journey song to me at karaoke night.

2. She refers to missing me as having "a severe loss of Vitamin K."

3. She has helped me get through every term paper I've written in grad school by sitting there and letting me ramble out my convoluted thoughts to her for a couple of hours.

4. She has about 18 distinctly different laughs that cycle throughout one laughing fit.

5. After a few drinks, she accuses phantom people of drinking all her beer.

6. When I'm sad, she cheers me up by serenading me with bad 80s songs.

7. She and I have made plans to be roommates in the same retirement home, where we will crochet obscene afghans together.

8. When one of us makes a hilarious joke, we laugh about it for a long time, and afterward she explains to me why it was funny in the first place.

9. She's the only person I've ever seen slip and fall on a patch of ice IN SLOW MOTION.

10. She has supported me in every stupid idea I've ever had, be it running to Blockbuster to rent "The Land Before Time" or trying to do a critical film analysis of "Showgirls."

Everyone needs a friend like this.

This reminds me of me and my best friend Amanda and how we plan for when we are old to have 4 CLEAR rocking chairs. 2 for us and 2 for our SO's that we grow old with. Then we will rock in them while reading our notebooks we kept in high school. We'll laugh at all the memories and then there is another inside joke we have having to do with this asian kid that was at our school that would always bring an orange to lunch so he will randomly knock on the door and come in and we will die laughing in our rocking chairs. LOL

Yeah... gotta agree with you, Kelley. There is NOTHING like having a best friend!
