even though she keeps reminding me that she's older than I am which is technically true because she's born two months before me, we're actually the same age and one day when we're old I'm going to constantly remind her that she's 'technically' older than me. which means she'll be an old lady before me which is okay.

a few months ago I had to get my passport stuff and she's one of my character references and we both realized that we've known each other for basically a decade which is really sad because nobody should have to put up with my shenanigans. sometimes we bring it up just to marvel that we actually have some sort of history together even though we're only twentysomethings but also because she and I actually weren't friends for a really long time.



the first time I met her we were 15 or so and at the same high school and she was showing some people some drawings she'd done which were actually really good but what pissed me off was that she was saying "these are some drawings I've done, aren't they good?" and I was all "bitch please, get over yourself" and we had beef for a long time afterward because 1. we're actually really alike and 2. because I thought she was a snob and she thought I was a bitch (the latter of which is probs true).

recently we were talking and I mentioned this whole scenario and -oh yeah, did I mention that kat's actually from Old Country aka The Ukraine and has the cutest accent? it's important because I was all

yeah I really thought you were full of yourself

and she was all

I didn't speak any english and was trying to make friends

which made me feel like the worst friend ever for not realizing that, duh, she was just trying to fit in and I was a mean teenager (though I already knew that last part).

I've managed to grow up into an okay person but kat has grown up into this really sweet, caring and amazing person that I feel really lucky to have in my life. in fact she's probably one of the nicest people I know.

so happy (belated) birthday, bb. love you lots
