an ode to my best friend:

My best friend is great.
We don't get to see much of eachother. We live about an hour apart driving and have been for the past year or so. With gas prices getting higher and higher, we don't get to travel to see eachother. We've started to gain our own lives in our respective cities too. But there is just something about her that is so great.
I don't know what it is but I just know she will always be there for me. I know that even though we don't talk to eachother every day, in fact we rarely have phone conversations, I just still know she will be there for me when I need her. She's great. Really she is. She has taught me some of my most important life lessons. She was still my friend, and I felt like she was still there for me when I was a dumb ass at times. When I brought religion on her, and when I was an idiot and began hanging out with people from another crowd more just because I liked a guy. She was still by my side. And though I may have been a pain in the ass, she is still my friend. She keeps me grounded. She keeps life interesting because she is so interesting and grounded herself. She has opened my eyes to so many ideas. I can't help but appreciate her and commend her for that. She is such a strong person too, for all the shit she's gone through. I like knowing that she will be there for me. I don't need to talk to her every night. We don't need that. I may not see her often,b ut I know that when we do see eachother it will be good. It will be comfortable and she will listen.
