My Best Friend

Assignment accepted ....

1) How I met my best friend ....

Many moons ago (what did you expect me to reveal how old I really am) I was roaming the halls of the Mighty Panther's during lunch hour. You see, I was a loner, the outcast if you please, because *gasp* I was F-A-T and instead of eating, I would find other fun, brown-nosing things to do.

My locker was across from the computer/accounting class room and on my many trips there I would notice this LOUD, outgoing blonde sitting in the room. She was new in town, and intriguing. If I only had the nerve, I would go up and just start talking to her. This monologue continued for several days, maybe even weeks (you expect me to remember exact details COME ON). Then one day, the cowardly lion found her nerve - I slammed my locker shut, spun around on my heels and headed right into the room. And what should I utter but the ever eloquent "What's your name?" and the rest is history. I was no longer the shy, quiet Mary, I was MJ the outgoing diva that could do anything with her trusty side-kick Renee

And like true best friends we have had fights and lost contact with each other. But whenever we get together, it is like picking up right where we left off all those years ago. Now that is a sign of an ever lasting friendship. My dear Renee, thank you for breaking me out of my shell - even though momma thinks I am the one that corrupted you!! Also, Thank You for standing by my side, even when you didn't understand what I was going through.
