Busy Summer.

Six more days. I swear these last six days will feel like an eternity. I'm sure my excitement for summer is not helping. This summer is going to be one of my busiest yet. The week after school I will be heading to "Mission Physician" camp in Grand Forks. I will get to follow around a doctor in a field of my choice and see what they do throughout the day! I hope it is a great learning experience for me, but if not at least I get to go with my best friend, Bryanna. After that I have my first volleyball camp! I think it is a team camp, and those are always so fun. Anytime I get to spend with my team is a great time. After that I have a big project going on in my room. The north wall of my room and the downstairs bathroom is caving in. We are starting to tear down dry wall tomorrow and then in June people are coming in to rebuild it. It's going to be crazy! Plus my sister will be living at home, so we will be very crammed for space! Then come July. I will be working at Bob's Fireworks again during firework season, mostly because I found it so fun last year! Then at the end of July I am going on a missions trip to New Jersey to help with Hurricane Sandy relief. On our way home we will be stopping in New York for a Yankees game and to do some sight seeing! I am the most excited for that trip this summer. I truly think I will grow from that experience and I can't wait to do some traveling. Throughout all these busy months I also have a couple of weddings, even more volleyball camps, and I have to find time to do my senior pictures! I am going to be so busy this summer, but I can't wait!

Spring At Last!

October, November, December, January, February, March, and even April all have had snow, but this past weekend was a glimpse of a little hope for spring. This past weekend was heaven for me. My parents were gone, and I was off of work! So I had the weekend all to myself, and I took advantage of it! I tanned on the deck, went out to eat, and jammed to music as loud as I could. I also had two bonfires with my friends! I had so much fun, and wish my parents left town more often. They should be willing to leave because I'm a good kid! I even cleaned the basement before they got home! I think I was willing to do that just because the weather put me in such a great mood! I wish it could be spring all year!

Growing Older.

In two short weeks my big sister will be graduating college. I literally can't believe she is done already. I can remember going on visits with her and people always asking me, "what are you planning on majoring in?" and then I would have to politely tell them that I was a 7th grader and that the cute (small) girl next to me was the senior. I can remember moving her in to her dorm the first year, and having to leave her all alone with a stranger. This was hard, but what was even harder was thinking about being home alone for the rest of my life. I learned to appreciate my sister more and more the longer she has been gone. Now she is all grown up and is going to find a real job and live in a real home and start her real life. I can't imagine how she is feeling right now! In August she will be leaving on a missions trip to either Malaysia or Jerusalem with the program Young Adults in Global Missions (YAGM) for a year. I am so excited for the new experiences she will have from this! Plus my parents are even talking about going to visit her over Christmas which is an awesome excuse to take a spectacular family vacation! Unfortunately, I am actually quite sad to see her leave! I'm really bummed she won't be around for my senior year! I really wish she could be around to watch my play my last season of volleyball and even to see my graduation! It's crazy to think about how far my sister and mine's relationship has grown throughout the years. I am so grateful for having her in my life and extremely excited to see where life takes her! I can't wait to see what life has in store for the rest of our lives and the cool things we will get to do together!

Stress.

What stresses a person out? School, work, home-life, personal appearance, money, or even just something as simple as a dirty room? Well for me it's most of the above. Here's another question… How do most people handle stress? Some people eat, cry, get angry, hide themselves, become depressed, turn to alcohol or drugs, or even resort to self harm. For me I just get completely and totally worn out. I push myself to my limits when I'm stressed, thinking I can take on more and more, even when I can't. I don't get more than 6 hours of sleep every night, I start to eat very unhealthy, and I even sometimes see my grades start to slip. Right now I am stressed. As you can tell I am writing this blog one hour before it's due, which is probably not the best scholarly habit to be practicing, but I have had a lot on my plate lately. I feel as if I always have these reoccurring three week periods where I am busy from school to 11 every night. I am in one of those periods right now. With my new job, my sisters upcoming graduation, starting to think about college, pushing hard to keep my grades up, and all of the regular end of the year craziness, I haven't had time to think about anything. So I'm very sorry to anyone that reads this post, because even I know its lacking in my normal creative or opinion filled blog posts. But when I was thinking about what I should write my blog on, the first thing that came to my mind was to be honest. So here I am telling you, my fellow classmates, that I am stressed. I am just worn out right now and I can't wait to finally be able to crash. I am ready for summer anytime now, and I think it's only about 29 school days away! That is awesome. So as I lay on my bed contemplating whether or not I should submit this blog I can't stop thinking about summer, friends, family, and a time of peace that is just around the corner. I'm sure you all can agree that the end of school is near, and you are losing most of your motivation. I sure hope that I am not the only one that feels this way! But I guess the main point of this post is to warn you all not to become susceptible to the crazy things stress can do to you! I am not doctor nor do I even know much about anything, but I think stress can ruin a person everyday and can definitely hold a person back from doing the things they want to! So don't forget to take a break, pamper yourself, and just take a breather from all the stresses in your life. :)

Opinions, Opinions, Opinions

Everyday I hear people expressing what they like or don't like, what they veiw as right or wrong, and even political or religious views. When I was younger none of these dicussions bothered me, because frankly I had no opinions of my own! But now that I am older, I have become my own person with my own views, beliefs, and opinions, and I hate it. I used to like to argue and I thought being a lawyer was definitely the job for me, but now that I understand how people will never get along I can't stand stating my own views.

With the new anti-abortion bill that was recently passed in North Dakota, I have been presented with many different disscussion with people from all different points of views. Now I am not quite sure my exact opinion on this situation, because I truly believe that until a person is in that predicament they can't say what they would choose. I think that everyone knows what they would hope to do, but every circumstance can present many different options. Now trust me, I do not support the killing of anyone, especially babies, but I don't think it's anyone's decision to force someone to have a baby. In some circumstances I think that the birthing of a child can be traumatic and even deathly. Their are certain times when the birth of a child will kill its mother. If the point of banning abortion is to save babies, what about those mothers faced with death themselves. They should be granted with the right to live just as much as their children. They have life behind them and families established. There should be no reason they have to worry about loosing that all. This whole subject just confuses me, because I have not idea what I truly believe would be a good solution to this conflict. I just wish there was a way to get people on the same page.

That brings me to my next topic-- opinions on social networking. These past few days have been miserable with drama. With the ND anti-abortion law, and the federal court system dealing with the gay marriage bill, I have not been able to escape everyone's points of view. Not only do I hate the fact that people can and will never be able to agree on something, I hate that they feel the need to fight on social networking. Please everyone keep your arguments face to face. People say rude things on the internet because they can't see the other person, and that is no way to communicate properly. If you want to discuss something over the internet please take it private messaging.

Just no matter what, always remember: pounding your opinions on others does not make them want to consider your side of the argument any more.

HANDS!

HANDS! HANDS! HANDS!
This past week I have been subjected to more than I thought I could ever handle. I had four days to become the best waitress I could be, and never would I have thought I would be able to do it. I have never had a waitressing job before in my life! Now yes, I may have been a barista or even a sandwich artist, but I have never had to deal with the ins and outs of the whole restaurant.

Last Monday was the first day of my training up at the new restaurant, Fanatics. The first day I was presented with strict rules, regulations, and details of how to provide the best service possible. I went home completely overwhelmed with all of this information, and even in a slight panic that I would be horrible at my job! So I had my mom help me study the menu and go through the notes I took. I even put this studying before my homework! I was so stressed and nervous that I was going to get fired or demoted to dish washer before the opening day!

I was also very skeptical about my workplace because it was all so new to me! Everyone I've ever worked for I have been close friends with, and never had to worry about making myself seem presentable. I've always already had a good reputation with all of my bosses, and this was a brand new experience for me! I was so worried my boss wouldn't like me!

Now we have worked waiting on people for the past five days, and I already feel comfortable! I love the people I work with, the way things are handled in the workplace, and even working itself! I really enjoy the new experience I am having with applying for this job, and I'm so happy that I did so!

One of my favorite things about this job is the people I work with! I work with a lot of people from all around the world. Some are part of a foreign work exchange program and some just happened to end up in town! I think it's very cool that I have a chance to communicate with these people and learn about their culture. They are very open with talking about their culture which I find so interesting, and they are all very excited when we tell them things about the U.S.

I've also learned many new things about the operating of a restaurant, which I find very interesting considering I want to do some type of Business Management in the future! It's very cool to learn what it really takes to teach people how to operate under certain conditions! I also really enjoy how creative and different everyday would be if I had a job like that!

I am so glad that I work at Fanatics, because I think that it is going to be a big thing in our community! So to my fellow classmates: if you have not went and eaten there, do it! It has the best food in town and the service is superb….:) (when I'm working… HAHAH just kidding) But seriously, make sure to come up and check it out!

Cirque Du Soleil: Koozå

People dream every night, right? Many dreams consist of goals, made up stories, and even what a person is going to do the next day. I know for me, dreams are colorful, wonderful, even fantasy like experiences. I always thought bringing a dream to reality would be the most captivating experiences of a lifetime. When I was a sixth grader, we went to San Antonio. My family went to a Cirque Du Soleil performance, and it was the most exciting experience of a lifetime. I felt as if I really got to make one of my dreams reality.The performance including tight rope walkers, contortionist, muscle men, trapeze artists, and the wheel of death. The storyline, props, and costumes were straight out of a creative genius's head. I had never seen anything like it. Unlike a normal circus, the whole act consisted of a story. This story was based around a poor loner who was searching around for his place in the world. He traveled along, coming across all the different performers. I really enjoyed that aspect of the show. Not only did the acts entertain me, but now it was almost like a live movie that kept me on my feet, making me try and guess what happened next. There were many different characters, and they all had a special quality about them. There was a bad dog, a trickster, a pickpocketer, an innocent man, and even a king! I couldn't imagine the amount of work they all have to put in to make this performance a real life experience. They even had audience participation, which made me laugh a lot because no one ever knew who would get chosen! I really had hoped my father would be picked from the audience to go out in the ring and do something totally jaw dropping!

If I could go back and watch it again, I would! We bought the dvd of the performance, and I actually have watched it from time to time! Although it is not as satisfying as being there in person, the video does a beautiful job of portraying what it would be like to be there. After watching this, I really wished I had some type of odd talent that could land me an awesome job like that! I honestly think they all have some of the coolest jobs around.

This was one of the best performances I've ever been to. It entertained me for hours, and I would watch it all again in a heartbeat. I recommend this show to everyone.

Spring Fever!

Finally, it’s here! SPRING! It may not be completely warming up already, but these past two days have made me feel like a brand new person. I have been happier, more motivated, and just overall excited! Every year around this time, I can’t help but anticipate what is going to come next. Spring makes me think of the wonderful things to come, such as: summer break, friends, vacations, and endless memories. I have always been one that enjoys warm weather. My mom thinks I have some type of seasonal affective disorder, and I really believe her! Every year as soon as the weather starts to get cold, I get lazy. I have this feeling like I don’t want to ever leave the house! I sleep all the time, and I even sometimes get crabby! This may sound absolutely ridiculous, but I swear to it! I am so glad the sun has been out these past few days.

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.

Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
And make us happy in the happy bees,
The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.

And make us happy in the darting bird
That suddenly above the bees is heard,
The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
And off a blossom in mid air stands still.

For this is love and nothing else is love,
The which it is reserved for God above
To sanctify to what far ends He will,
But which it only needs that we fulfill.

-Robert Frost

 Spring is a time for enjoying the weather and starting fresh! Even though January is the technical start of the new year, I feel as if nothing is new until it starts to get warm! So hopefully this warmer weather is a sign of a new beginning; a brand new year, to make all new memories with my closest friends and loved ones.

It's That Time Of The Year....

YES. It's here. I'm sooooo excited..... NOT. Prom dress shopping, one of my most hated activities in the world. This year will be the third year I am going to prom, and no I am not complaining that I got asked the previous years, but I do feel a little bit overwhelmed. I have literally spent hundreds on all of my dresses. It makes me sick to think about what I could do with the money I have spent on three dresses. Although many people say, "you can just borrow", or, "you can buy used", or even "why don't you just wear last years?" I have to disagree. First of all NO ONE is going to wear a dress they have already worn, but I wonder why not? The dress I bought last year was still my most favorite dress I have ever tried on. I would gladly wear it year after year, but I can't because I wonder what people will think. I believe prom is one great cliche. Everyone has already built up their idea of what it's supposed to be like. The boy asks you in the cutest way possible almost like you are getting married, the girl buys the dress that makes her feel like a princess, the moms take endless pictures, and basically it is one of the best nights of any high school student. Well that is supposed be what it's like, right? I wish there was some way my friends and I could revamp prom and make is something new. Like what if we all wore thrift shop dresses? One of my friends had the idea to wear our mother's prom dresses. I think that would be awesome. It would take a lot of stress out of searching for the "perfect dress", the "perfect date", and achieving the "perfect night." Secondly, I think that a lot more people would be willing to go enjoy themselves at the prom if it was changed somehow. Now don't get me wrong, I love doing my hair, nails, spray tan, and feeling awesome. Prom is like one of the only times I have to work from 11am to 5pm on my appearance, and I do love it. This year has just made me realize how much money people spend on prom. I tried on a dress that was $738.00! That is literally a plane ticket to somewhere, or a payment on a new car! I am astounded by the money that is spent on one single night a year, and it has got me thinking. Besides revamping prom I think that next year I'm going to try and set up a prom dress exchange or sale. Between Hazen, Beulah, Center, Killdeer, and Glen Ullin I think that we could get a bunch of wonderful dresses together and have just one day where girls from all over could come try on each other's dresses. That alone would save hundreds of dollars and a lot of stress. Next year, I am going to try something completely different to help girls all over relieve themselves of the stress of prom.

Happy Mardi Gras:)

HAPPY FAT TUESDAY!! "What is Fat Tuesday?" some of you may ask. Fat Tuesday is the translation of the French word "Mardi Gras", and it originated from Christain beliefs as the last celebration before Lent. Most of you probably that tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, and is the first day of the Lenton season. Now through the times many people have taken this holiday and transformed it into one of the biggest celebrations of the year. This is especially prevalent in the French city of New Orleans, Louisiana. The festivities for this holiday last all week in New Orleans, and are often even celebrated all year long. This brings me back to a very fond memory of mine.

Last year in March my family went on a vaction to New Orleans. My dad had a conference for work down there, so we had the hotel, his plane ticket, and his food all paid for. We took advantage of this financial help and tagged along with him. I have never had such a fun vaction my whole entire life.

It all started the night we arrived there. The flight my mom and I were booked on left before my fathers. This left us in charge of getting the rental car, finding the hotel, and navigating this huge clustered city all alone. This was one of the most stressful parts of our trip. My mother and I picked out a Jeep and cruised out of the airport as soon as we were handed the keys. Immediately, I felt amazed by the culture. It felt as if I were in another country, and I was actually only on the other side of my own!

There were people everywhere! The streets were crowded with just purely happy people! This amazed me considering how much of the city was still destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Everywhere you turned there were people singing. The music in this community was so spectacular. I was awestruck by the natural talent of these people and found myself putting money in their tip jars very often. I saw a lady that was playing the tuba and the trap set all at the same time! Another lady named Doreen, was so good at the clarinet! I have never been a fan of the way a clarinet sounds (maybe because I had to play it and hated it), but Doreen made me want to listen for days!

If you are an avid food critic, or just enjoy stuffing your face and rubbing your food baby, then New Orleans is the place to go. I'm pretty sure I gained at least five pounds on this trip. The food was magnificent, and I could eat that style of food everyday without getting sick of it. Po-Boys, clams, gumbo, and sauce piquant, are just some of these tasty dishes. Ever since we have gotten home my dad has cooked much more variety of food, including things from the south. I love it, and so does he because he grew up in the south.

Another thing I enjoyed on this trip was walking Bourbon Street at night. There were so many cool stores and so many happy people all around. The streets were lit up and people were enjoying themselves to the extreme (some probably too much). While some people find this lifestyle a little inappropriate, I can't say I am one of them. I think in moderation this would be a great place to go to enjoy yourself. There is so much to do that doesn't involve the party habits of this town. My mom and I went to the Audubon Aquarium, and it was so cool! They seriously had everything there! I got to pet a sting ray! It was so different than anything I've ever felt. The only way I can think to describe it is as a mushroom, slimy and smooth, but also bumpy fish type thing! Now all those qualities contradict each other, I know, but I swear that is what it feels like! The shopping down there is amazing, and I took great advantage of it! They had this cute jewelry store that was on almost every street! It was called "So Good", and there had to be about 10 of the total! I definitely think they named this store appropriately, because I spent a lot of my time in every single one. They were all the same, but each one had different jewelry and accessories! I bought jewelry for prom and my friends. It was the perfect store, and I wish we had one up here. We also got to go to the broadway production of "The Lion King." It was the greatest production I have ever seen. The costumes literally took my breath away, and at one point it was so overwhelming both my mom and my sister were crying! Even my dad enjoyed it, which is high praise because my dad only likes racing and football!

So today I reminisced on one of my greatest memories, and I dreamed about going back. I wish everyone could go here and experience the joy New Orleans can really bring a person. The southern hospitality and delicious cuisine made me go crazy. I guess I just had to celebrate Fat Tuesday up here in North Dakota. At least it was a balmy 35º out today! :)

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

       One picture I found on a subway. One story I had to uncover. The back of the photo read "New Orleans Trip, 2012, last time I saw my family." "Sarah in black, Mom in white, and Dad in brown." This was last time this person saw their family!? It is 2062 right now. I assumed the girl in the gray was the owner of this photo, because she did not identify herself on the back. Was she on a quest to find her sister? Or her parents if they are still alive? Either way I now have to find her. She deserves to find her family, and how can she without the most recent photo she has of them? 

       Immediately after finding this photo I scanned it into my computer. Technology these days is very useful. I was able to use "face detection" technology and find a Facebook account linked with this girls face. It was hard to tell she was the same person though, because she was now closer to 70 than 20. Her name was Rachel Funkhouser. I was very hesitant to click on this suspicious girl's page. What if this wasn't her and I just turned out to be a huge creep? But on the other hand, what if this is her and I can help her find who she has been searching for the past 50 years of her life? "Click." "Gosh, I did it, I can't believe I did it." My hands were shaky as I crept through this complete strangers profile. I looked at the "about" section on her page and scroll down to the family part. She has a sister, but I am so confused. The picture that shows up by her sister's name looks like she is the same age as she is in the picture I found. It is almost as like she has not been on Facebook for fifty years. I check my Facebook every three hours, there is no way she has gone fifty years without updating her profile picture. Then it hit me. Her sister is missing. Her whole family completely disappeared. I think this poor girl has been searching for her family for the past fifty years not because she lost contact with them, but because they have been either taken or worse, killed.

       After this realization I did more research on Rachel Funkhouser. 109,030,284 results. I have my work cut out for me. But wait, all of these stories are related to one another. "Family Killed in Car Crash; One Survivor." "Funkhouser Family of Four; Only Youngest Daughter Lives." I don't understand. Dead? I was so wrong. I thought she was looking for her family for the past fifty years, and she carried that photo around to show to people. Did she carry this around as a reminder of her beautiful family? I have to find out more.

       Scrolling through more search results I came across a local newspaper article. The article read "Dangerous Woman on the Loose; Many Psychological Problems. If found please call the police department." On the article was a picture of Rachel Funkhouser. The same Rachel Funkhouser I had just felt sympathy for. Now I am so scared that the girl I just felt bad for is some crazy lady that is on the loose. What does this mean? I picked up my cell phone and immediately called the number on the bottom of the article. "Helloooo", said a very rude receptionist, "what is your emergency?"
       "I have a question about an article in your local newspaper, I said, "the one about Rachel Funkhouser."
       "O yes, that poor woman that needs some professional help?"
       "Uhhhh, yes I guess that is her."
       "Do you know where she is at?"
       "No I do not, but I just found a picture that I believe belongs to her on the subway today, and I was just looking to learn a little more about her and what is wrong with her."
       "Well you see, this woman was just a child when she lost the closest people to her. Ever since she has went off the deep end, trying to find her family. She is not psychologically stable to handle the events that happened in her life. She needs to be found so she can be treated and go through some therapy."
       "Okay well thank you for that. I really thought I could help this woman find her family, but now I know I can't. Thank you for your time."

     A psycho on the loose. A woman I thought I could help. I've heard people say "a picture is worth a thousand words", but now I know that the words they portray aren't always the whole story.

Questioning the "Facts"

The London Subway bombing, 911, and the Sandy Hook shooting. What do these three catastrophes have in common? To me the only correlation between these three incidents would be the fact that innocent people were killed and many families lost their loved ones for reasons beyond their control, but YouTube user "ThinkOutsideTheTV"seems to disagree. 

Now, I have seen various conspiracy videos in my lifetime that make me raise an eyebrow, or question the facts, but never in my life have I seen a video that makes me so sick and sad in my life. For those who have yet to see this video here it is. I warn you though, you may not like what you see.


Now whether or not you took the 30 minutes to watch that video or not, you should know that it is based upon the fact that the London Subway bombing, 911, and the Sandy Hook shooting are all fake. It's main focus is on the Sandy Hook Shooting. Throughout this video I found myself thinking, "that makes too much sense" or "why would the government do this". Now I look back and I think, "how dare me for even believing this for a second", but whether or not I feel remorse for believing this man's conspiracy, I can't help but thinking some of his information may be plausible. 

He presented the fact that a day before each of these incidents, a version or multiple versions of the Department of Homeland Security was in the area, practicing for disasters exactly like the ones that happened the next day. Now I don't know about you, but that made me raise an eyebrow to the facts. The other thing that made me wonder was when he showed the clip of the man who was supposed to be mourning over the loss of his daughter, but instead was laughing and joking around. If I had just lost my child in a school shooting I don't think I would laugh or smile for weeks. Right before his interview he is caught saying, "are we ready to start", while he is laughing. Only moments later he is hyperventilating and crying over the loss of his daughter. The creator of the video relates this with an actor trying to get into character. That just made me sick. 

I feel shameful to think that all these disasters could be planned out. It makes me sick that I doubt that there are real people in the world mourning the loss of their children. To me this video basically shows everyone that the government is not to be trusted. The only thing I don't understand is, why would the government pretend to kill, or actually kill people? What would be the benefit in making people die, or making it seem as if they are dead? I can't come up with a single reason this would make any sense. That alone is enough evidence to me that these are all coincidences and not planned out by the government. 

I don't want to tell anybody what to think about this video, but I do have a couple last things to inform each and everyone of you on. One, if this is real and there are families mourning over the lost of their beloved little ones, we can not support the viewing of this video. No one in the world has the right to question the loss of someone else's loved ones. I for one do not feel comfortable spreading around the questioning of the loss of 20 children and 8 adults. So my opinion is that this video is very offensive, and makes me really feel bad for the victims that have to deal with people not supporting their losses, and saying that they are fake. But on the flip side, I do not think that the creator of this video is all wrong. I commend him for all his research, and hard work to present his evidence. I think that he is fighting for something he believes in, which I can not say is the wrong thing to do. I have the right to disagree with his position and I very much do so. And as for the rest of you, it is completely your choice to question the evidence and form your own opinion. Just remember either way there is a great deal of wrong in this world, and the fact that you can no longer choose a good side makes me incredibly sad.

Miss Congeniality 

          FBI agent is really all Gracie Hart ever wanted to be, and then one day that dream job of hers took her to an unimaginable place full of hairspray, world peace, and eating disorders. That doesn't sound like the life of any ordinary FBI agent. Hart was demoted to a desk job after she didn't follow orders on a mission, and one of her partners gets shot, but if that wasn't enough she was selected to go undercover on a mission at the Miss America Pageant. Now as you may know by the images in your head, most FBI agents aren't that concerned about their "girly" traits. Hart is forced through an agonizing day full of waxing, plucking, lasers, hair gurus, and an unbearable lesson on table manners and walking correctly. 

        Once at the pageant Hart is faced with the hard task of acting like a prim and proper pageant queen, while trying to find the suspect for the threat of a bombing. Now I commend her, because after three days at that pageant I think that the only threat to those girls would be me. I would go insane. One of my favorite quotes in the movie would have to be when she is imitating one of the girls and she says, "look she's going to cry again" and then makes fun of her some more and goes, "if I only had a brain". that part gets me every time. After days of accusing innocent men of crimes, jumping off of stages, and breaking almost all the rules of pageants, Hart is able to find the actual mastermind behind this horrible threat. It turned out to be the pageant coordinators son, Stan. Hart ended up saving her best friend Cheryl's life and became a pageant hero. 

       She is my favorite character because she is always making me laugh by being different than normal girls, being a little inappropriate, and always there when you need her. I know that we would be good friends if we were to ever meet in real life.
