For The Friend I Wasn't Expecting

Have you ever met someone and expected them to have little to no impact on your life whatsoever? Or maybe you met them and at first didn't want anything to do with them. Well, this article is going to be about someone I met and, to be honest, didn't like them very much at first. She drove me nuts, I thought she was going to be interested in my girlfriend, and I think I was just trying to find excuses to be jealous and not like this girl. Turns out, this one friend was going to turn my world upside down and come into my life when I needed her the most, without me even realizing it.

As you all know by now, considering I've talked about it a few times now, I graduated from beauty school earlier this year. When I first began at school, I was not expecting to make any friends. I was expecting to go there, do my work, and graduate. My fiancee also was in my class and befriended this little blonde girl from Florida. My initial response was "what the hell is this girl doing here from Florida, there is a Douglas J Aveda Institute in Nashville which is a lot closer to home". As their friendship grew, I couldn't tell if this little blonde was hitting on my woman or just super friendly. My "gaydar" wasn't reliable and I didn't want to assume. Well, after her and my fiancee had grown closer I learned that she was in fact bisexual. Immediately, I saw her as a threat. But after actually sitting down and being open minded, I decided to give her a chance. We began hanging out with her more often and I found myself growing fond of her.

I never expected the friendship I have with this girl. She is truly, one of the best friends you could ever ask for. She loves making people happy and enjoys making sure they feel loved. Like...this girl fronted me some money so I could get this puppy I fell in love with. Yeah, she's THAT good of a friend. She got me A PUPPY and offered to keep it at her apartment because it made me happy and I wasn't sure if I was going to be allowed to have it at my own place.

I'm so thankful for EVERYTHING that she has done for me. I could name twenty things off the top of my head that she has done for me and I appreciate every one of them. I only hope to be half the person she is. She always knows how to put a smile on my face when I'm upset, she helps me learn how to adult, and even makes me a bomb ass home-cooked meal.

Priscilla, I'm so glad you decided to stay here in Michigan and take on this new journey with Paris, Emily, and I. I'm so glad you feed me, help raise our little "zoo" together, and live spontaneously like me. You're such an amazing friend and I can't wait to see where life takes us and our friendship. Thank you for being so great to Paris and I.

Even though I pick on you a lot, I'm not sure what I would do without you. I hope you enjoyed your article all about you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
