Day 1: My Best Friend

Hmmmmm well what on earth am I going to say about my best friend in the whole wide world?

This is difficult on so many levels, partly because I think I know her too well, so it's hard to describe her. Also, whenever I've tried, I've kinda made her out to be a little bit worse than what she really is. *sorry!* I'm gonna do my very very best to get it right this time though.

My bestie, we'll call her D, is just pure awesomeness. She listens to me bitch and whine, as well as endlessly praise and brag. She always feeds me awesome dinners, and I in turn feed her awesome deserts. We're just that cool! She is without a doubt my soulmate in every sense of the word. As different as we are, we're a lot alike, in little ways that have forged bonds so strong even stupid little comments we've made to each other hasn't really affected the structure of our relationship.

I guess I should start with some background. Neither of us is really sure how it was that we became friends. I find this really funny because we both know exactly when we met. I guess it was friendship at first sight? We met at a Christmas banquet my Academy was having. She was the "date" to a mutual friend that has since decided she hates me. Oh and she also used to be D's best friend. Yeah....I replaced her. Not to be confused with D and I having an affair on....well we'll call her E. It's just that D and E were having some problems, and decided to take a breather, and well D and J just ended up.....happening. Before we knew it, we were more than just friends who occasionally saw each other but when we did we would talk about everything and just generally not shut up, to friends who saw each other every weekend for sleepovers and never shutting up for two days on a weekly basis.

When E decided  to try and mend the riff with D......well, it didn't really turn out the way she wanted. Instead of coming back to a miserable D who was missing her.....she came back to a D who had moved on and given that special part of your heart reserved for that special BFF to moi. But that's not the reason E hates me. She started that way before, and has NEVER told the reason why. It's a mystery alright lol.

Back to D being awesome. She enables my lemonade addiction. She talks about tv characters like they're real people (I totally do too!) Gets mad at predictable plots, and talks throughout tv shows and movies just like me! Yeah, don't ever watch anything with us, we're REALLY obnoxious. We do try and keep it to a minimum when in a movie theater, but.....it's HARD to do that! She loves Star Gate, Star Wars, Star Trek (sensing a theme here?) and I got her hooked on The Big Bang Theory. She also loves really random BBC things like Dr. Who and Torchwood. She also knows that I'd rather burn out my eyes than watch that with her.

She's also the strongest prayer warrior I know. There is just something about her when she prays that makes me feel instantly better. I'm not one for public prayer, probably because I talk to God the way I talk to my friends, meaning I tell him to knock it off and stop being a punk. Not really something I'd want to say in front of others. D however, is just....awesome. She's the youth leader of her church. She's a junior Deaconess and she's really involved in Pathfinders.....kind of like a christian girl/boy scouts thing.

I admire her greatly, even though she is the biggest spaz I know. She also really sucks at spelling, but makes up for it with her grasp of math. She is one day going to keep me in the live I plan to very quickly become accustomed to :). She makes me smile when I'm sad, she calms me down when I'm pissed, and she makes me really really hyper when I'm happy. She's my soul mate, and I'm incredibly blessed to have her in my life. Jesus Freak and all.
