| This page is dedicated to my best friend in the whole world, Katie. I don't know if she wants me to make her a page or not, but I don't think she'll mind. And in the event that she does, I'll merely erase it and guilt trip her about it for the next few years. Katie is the greatest person I've ever met. We're so much alike it's unreal. I think that's kind of ironic. I'm the type of person who doesn't like myself at all, but I love her to death, even though she's just like me. She's smart, funny, talented beyond all reason, and more than any of that, she puts up with all my bullshit all the time. There are a lot of things I don't really know about Katie, and we do have the occasional silent treatment session, but I wouldn't trade her for anything. I can only hope that she feels the same about me. I feel more cultured around Katie. She's done so much and seen so much and interacted with so many people, and she just makes me feel better when I'm around her. She has a way of telling me things that make me feel like I was actually there with her. I guess that's part of her amazing acting ability. Now that I think about it, I think she'd make an excellent griot. I'll have to run that one by her. Our tastes in almost everything are similar. She is the one who first introduced me to Tori Amos. Well, technically she didn't "introduce" me, but she had it playing at her house, and I pretended like I knew who it was until she said something like, "Okay, Miss Depressed Tori Amos, that's enough of you." and turned the CD off.� Either way, I've been listening to her ever since, and I've bought Katie all but one of her albums. We're both self-proclaimed "flame dames" although we don't like to admit that to anyone besides ourselves. We both shop at GAP, even though she does dress better than me, and we have pretty much the same opinions about everything, hers are just a bit more eloquent. For some odd reason though, she refuses to listen to country music with me. I don't know... I'll have to work on that one a little more. I hope I've done an okay job on this page, because I really want her to look at it and go "Awww..." like she does when she sees something she thinks is really cute, like her cat Tiki. Since I've sort of put myself on the spot here, I can't think of anything else to say to her or about her. She's just an absolutely magnificent person, and I'm very glad to have her in my life. P.S. to Katie:� Always remember that no matter how bad things seem, la vita e bella, principessa.� |
