They say that when you pick your friends, you choose the ones that have the same levels of attractiveness as you do. It obviously doesn't apply when it comes to intelligence, because my best friend is an utter genius.
I remember being around 8 in our school playground and deciding that wanted to be best friends with the girl in the purple mac - and 8 years later i still am. Its probably because there's so much to love about Rebecca! she's kind and thoughtful, and she deserves an award for how she puts up with a friend thats grumpy without chocolate or needs at least 12 hours sleep to be vaguely nice to anyone. She's probably the cleverist person I know and I sometimes wonder why my best friend is a girl who talks about chemistry, outside the chemistry lesson :)
We fell out in year 7 and didn't talk for six months - then it was only by the good old girl talk ruler we were reunited. I owe being a christian to her as she took me along to Efriday when I was 10, without her I wouldn't know the people that help me with the struggles life brings and i know i'm eternally greatful and blessed.
In some ways we are very similar. We were both Tracy Beaker and Eeyore fans. We like the same music and tend to like some of the same clothes though we seem to pick items up in different colours. I owe her a lot since she had to be seen in public with me during my emo phase when i was 13 and "proper cool". Yet i did endure her borderline "wannabe goth" times.
I don't think anyone understand us really, we basically can talk in codes for hours on end. Every conversation we have is sarcastic to the extent that we sound like actually hate each other. We have so many memories and can basically chat on for hours about crap. She fills the role of best friend perfectly "someone that knows everything about you and still loves you the same"
in our daily sarcastic arguments we threaten to spill each other secrets to the world, like we ever would. I trust her with my life. She's gonna be a rich doctor one day, though we will still be going to home and bargain to buy poppets, jelly beans and 27p cans of diet coke.
So Happy 16th! I love you! ♥
