I remember meeting you and thinking wow, she’s so comfortable with who she is and has great taste in clothes! And I’m thinking back now, and the first time we really hung out together was that time I randomly decided to go sleep in your apartment at like 5 in the morning or something like that? I WAS SO SCARED WALKING DOWN THE STREET because I was like, a freshman, and I was like oh my gosh I’m gonna get killed walking down Freret asdfghjkl. Oh and we lent each other clothes, which is really funny because we always could wear each other’s clothes, but I swear you’re like a foot taller than me or something. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ 

Hanging out with you is always excellent! You’re this wonderful blend of past and present and like, future (you’re a time lord???). I’m not sure how else to describe it. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ 

SKITTLES 5EVER FOR SERIOUSLY (this whole meme is taking me back, okay?). Omg, there was that one Valentine’s Day where I was hurting so, so, so badly over that breakup and you decided that we should protest/celebrate the day simultaneously by wearing wedding dresses? Like that’s exactly the kind of thing that I would totally do but probably wouldn’t have actually done unless it was with you. And I remember you and me and Madelyn (okay, but mostly me) crying and wearing wedding dresses, and it was the most bizarre and most comforting thing ever. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ 

I think I went under a social justice makeover when I was at Loyola, and you were such a huge part of that. Like I never had to look for you when I was living in New Orleans because you’d always pop up at some point (New Orleans is a small city/we hang out with all the same people?). (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ 

ALL THE MARDI GRAS PARTIES WE HAD TOGETHER. I DON’T EVEN REALLY REMEMBER THEM BECAUSE THEY ALL FLOW TOGETHER BUT I REMEMBER GREEN WIGS AND HOMEMADE BEER AND WHY ARE WE STILL UP AT 5 IN THE MORNING? (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ 

Uh, let’s see. This is going to get really discombobulated now because HOW DO I PUT THE WORDS IN ORDER. You’ve overcome so much adversity in your life and inspire people to love themselves. You’re one of the most creative if not the most creative person I’ve ever met. YOU ARE REALLY GOOD AT TAKING PEOPLE OUT ON DATES. :D I think watching you try to figure out the next step after life handed you so many curveballs inspired me to be more creative with my life and just, like, gave me hope in general. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧  (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧  (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ 

Latte: DAMMIT WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME SAY GOOD THINGS ABOUT MYSELF. Um. Okay. I’m very determined — like I don’t really waste time crying over stuff. I just put plan B (or D or T for X) into action. I think about my actions before I react, which saves me a lot of grief and makes me able to help other people out with their emotional things. And I keep getting told repeatedly that, though I’m a very emotional person, I don’t show it. Which is good because that’s very advantageous.

Mocha: I REALLY LOVE WATCHING THE NANNY OKAY.

Cappuccino: A wedding that happens, lol. Um. Seriously? Let’s see…I really like for aspects of life to embody the people involved, because what’s the point of being traditional for the sake of tradition? So…okay, that. A ceremony that would truly embody the both of us, where you can come to the wedding even if you’d never met us before and learn a lot about who we are as people.
