3. Get get get get get over it, because...
IT'S SAMANTHA LYN KELLY'S 25th BIRTHDAY!!!
No, that is not a professional supermodel; that's my cuppycake! That's right! I'm friends with her and she likes me too! She has even consented to be seen with me in public on several occasions!!! I'm the luckiest.
Let's take a little stroll down memory lane as I recount the story of our friendship.
November 2008: We meet at work. I think she's real pretty and automatically assume she's too cool to talk to me ever. This continues for approximately six months, until...
June 2009: A position opens up in Samantha's department, and she encourages me to apply for it! I secretly wonder if she's participating in some elaborate, long term Boy Meets World style nerd party. Whoever brings in the least competent applicant gets a raise!
Later that June: I discover I was wrong. That or she won and no one ever let me in on the joke. Either way, I got the job.
December 2009: I got very sick with scarlet fever, and she stayed by my side. She took good care of me. For the first time I appreciated her. Then the appreciation grew to respect...respect grew to like...then like grew to love; a deeper love than I could ever hope for.*
January 2010 to Present: Our love is like the Sword of Godric Gryffindor; it only imbibes that which makes it stronger. But instead of basilisk venom, our love has been impregnated with bad tv and pictures of fat babies in costumes.
*This didn't really happen...it's a quote from a Jennifer Lopez movie. That's how you know it's good.
**If you don't know how I feel about that...I love big eye teeth.
***That is, more than...none...Mexican.

Samantha,
You put up with my crap all day long. You have big eye teeth, and you know how I feel about that.** You give the best autism hugs. You make me wish I was more Mexican***, and I can't even explain why. This is a weird compliment, but you describe food really well. Sometimes I think I gain weight just listening to you talk. You are probably going to become a famous photographer someday and leave me crying alone in the dust, but until that day comes, I will forever remain your faithful honeybunch, sugarplum, pumpy-umpy-umpkin.
Smoochy-oochy-ooch,
Emily
