My Darling Alexis!!!!

Ahhhhh, My Love!

 

 

 

No one else was using color, so I decided to spice things up! I was worried when I saw that Sofe had hit up this blog before me, but alas! I am relieved she didn't take all of the good inside jokes! I see she went the philosophical route, which leaves me as the person who makes you laugh when you get really over emotional due to the other posts.

 

How did we even become friends? This is a question that haunts me often. I remember you from when we were really young, but frankly, I can just see you and Sofe plotting my downfall as 7 year olds, lamenting over how I used to torture our pore Sofoffel. I also remember being very jealous of your gorgeous long hair, because these were the days that my mother basically had a bowl put on my head and told the hairdressers to just cut off whatever hung out. You and Sofe always seemed so lost in your own world to the point that I thought I could never be blessed enough to be counted amongst one of your true friends.

 

I also remember in kindergarten, when I had delusions of grandeur, I was convinced that I was able to hypnotize you with my eyes. You went along with it, probably because you didn't want to be the one to break it to the young, "innocent" me that magic didn't exist. I remember thinking that a certain person with the initials MM didn't deserve your friendship because I thought she was awful to you. In all honesty, that was probably a bit hypocritical, considering how I would bully Sofe.

 

And somehow, a great friendship was forged, over games of four square and with the realizations that maybe my current friends weren't the best, and how I might do better. And in my quest to do better, I managed to gain the two people who had always seemed a world above mine, and an odd girl from New York with an oversized coat.

 

 

You guys probably could've done better than me, but I'm happy that you were oblivious to that fact, because now I get to spend the summer with my favorite people in the entire world, completing with a smile the job that in any other world would make me want to find a tall building and end it all (kids, BLEGH!).

I love you so much, you don't even know. The four of us are going to grow old and senile together, while torturing our husbands. Happy birthday to the most wonderful person I have every known.
