So, you see this lady. This lady right here ---> :icondragonmasterx10:


Wow, typing your username reminds me of how long its been since we joined dA, lady...


But back to the subject at hand. Today is this little lady's birthday. Yes, I say little even though you are twenty-five. I mean do we really want to act our age? No? Haha! Of course not! Twenty-five? Perish the notion! Why you're twelve years old again my friend, twelve! Surprise! Wait, how come you're not shrinking? Ah, blast. We'll you're young at heart so who cares.


So, I wish to write a journal entry and wish you a Happy Birthday.


My brain knew it was your birthday this morning, even in sleep. I had a dream that I was in Modesto and called you, wanting to see if you wanted to hang out like old times. We even planned to go to Sushi Garden to eat. I forget what happened in the dream to suddenly change my mind, but I remember calling you back up after we had just spoke and telling you that I couldn't make it, feigning to be sick. I woke up this morning thinking, "That was awful! How could I have been such a jerk!"


But you know, if I think about it carefully, I think that dream had a deeper meaning than my dream self just being an absolute jerk. I think it signified my wanting to come down and see you and pal around like we used to (particularly on your birthday). But my inability to do so with the distance, and having work and such, makes that impossible at this time, and I think my dream reflected that. It's funny, isn't it, how the mind knows.


I remember back in the day when we would have parties at your old apartment (although you haven't moved too far from that very space since then). I remember playing video games in your room, but most of all I remember the wild adventures we had around your apartment complex. Which, in our eyes, wasn't an apartment complex at all in those days. It was a giant castle, a dark forest, a land of green and rushing rivers. In fact, I sometimes still see it as such. I look fondly back on those memories that seem not so far away at times, and then so distant in others. I am so glad that I got to share them with you and I do wish that we were able to go on those adventures again (knowing us, we will).


Heck, ever since I met you in 2nd grade, life's been a trip. I truly think we were meant to be best friends. It was like a magnet had drawn us together. You were tired of being pushed around by that so-called friend you had, and I was waiting for someone to come about and cheer me up in my lonesome. We found each other on that bench under the willow tree that day (and I think they've since removed that too if I'm not mistaken) and I thank god that I chose to sit there and you chose to run past me. I don't quite know if I would be the same person I am today if that had not happened. You truly are like a sister to me, even though we aren't in any way related. Of course perhaps in another world…


I hope your birthday is as every bit as wonderful as you are, and while I cannot celebrate with you today I hope to do so in the near future. I hope that you know that while I may not always be with you in presence, I can be in spirit, and that if you should ever need me, let me know.


To my best woman!


HAPPY FRICKEN BIRTHDAY YOU CRAZY!

Aww, mah lady, how I could I have missed this yesturday! D: *sniffs* I need to get on here more often....

But anywho, I remember all of these wonderful things and I know I will even when I'm old and grey. I can bet we'll still be together then too, couple crazy old ladies. Haha! 

I dunno who I would be best pals with if I hadn't met you after running away from she-who-must-not-be-named. I may still have gone back to her and made up, knowing my caring and sometimes quick to forgive soul....*sighs* But you just happened to be there at that exact moment in time. That and after you told me a few years back had you not been born early we would have probably been in different grades. That's still the most eerie thing to me. Like it was destined some how. Also, I was incredibly shy back then and the fact that I immediately bonded with you was also something special. We've been inseparable ever since, even though life events have separated us physically with you moving and all. 

I remember when you told me you were moving, I was so proud of you, but part of me was sad. I knew you'd no longer be right down the street anymore and it would not be so easy to get together. I felt like you were moving on without me. I remember when we use to talk about getting a place together....I guess in retrospect we were young and life is unpredictable. Maybe it wasn't entirely realistic. But it was wonderful to think about and maybe there's still that chance in the future. 

You're like the sister I never had and I love yah. I always will. :) <3
