I love Amy/Duuuh are you guys, like BFF, or something?

Yes, yes we are.

I met amy when I was starting over. I was dealing with heartbreak (x2) and in a rough place.

I knew that she was my best friend when we were walking home from a bad party and it started to pour buckets, the hardest rain I can remember! We had one umbrella, but it didn't do much and we both started laughing and screaming at the shitty wet end to a shitty night and I started yelling at the sky:

OK, OK FINE! I GET IT!

The bottom line was (and is) when Amy is with me, we can have fun no matter what--even if we're feeling bitter and soaked to the bone.

(And yes, I remember that fateful AppleBarrel night when you took me hostage to go eat chicken fingers).

Amy taught me how to have fun in the most hardcore ways, including but not limited to my first (and probably last) artistic vandalism, flask drinking and general debauchery. We have weekly dates, i.e. white wine leather jacket Fridays, top model Wednesdays. Sometimes she arrives at my doorstep with a surprise slice of papa marios.

Quite a few times when I'd have shows I wasn't really into/ dealing with people's petty bullshit (for whatever reason)—Amy was always there. She'd come to soundcheck and hang out and once even wrote up copies of the set list for me one time because I was too drunk. One time she wrote up copies of the set list for me because I was too angry to. And one time she took my shirt off while I was playing on stage. Because of all this, she will always be an auxillary HSR member.

Plus she's hella talented and one of the strongest chicks I know.

Last night I was feeling overhelmed and a bit sad (sweetie still Toronto stuck) so Amy made me watch 4 episodes of cycle 6 ANTM with her until I was tired enough to fall asleep (MANNI-CAN, NOT MANNI- CAN'T!) and she made me some hamburger helper.

Amy, despite being a few years younger than me, always seems to take care of me, better than anyone I know. And I know that we'll always take care of each other, no matter what happens.

I love you.
