The Best Guy Friend

I hate that I even have to say "guy" because you're just my best friend.

The Eighty 8

I know this article probably sounds like it will be like a million other articles, but it's not. Why? Because my best friend is better than yours. And my best friend is a guy. Literally, EVERYONE thinks that we are dating or like each other but I can assure you that, that is the farthest thing from the truth. This is not a situation where I feel like we are just best friends now who are eventually gonna end up together, and we do not have a marriage pact for if we are single when we are 40. We really are just best friends. And I would never want any one else as my best friend.

We have known each other for almost 13 years now. We have seen each other go through more awkward phases than I actually care to admit; like when I thought it was a good idea to be bleach blonde (it wasn't)... So when I found out he was moving to my hometown, we instantly starting hanging out and it was pretty awesome.

It started out as us just going out to bars and hanging out. I would be his "wing girl" when he saw a pretty girl and vice versa. Eventually, he was the person I went to when I was having any problems with guys. After that, he was there for all my problems. And again vice versa.



We literally are to the point now where we have entire conversations in GIFs, and they are pretty great. We know exactly when the other person is just not doing okay, and we are always there to send the right meme when someone needs to be cheered up.

I think we take more selfies than anyone I know. We also probably brunch more than your average person should. But we are always there to help each other out, even if it just involves getting the other person a drink and letting them vent their life. Oh and did I mention brunch...

I know what you're thinking, yeah you guys are probably gonna date. But I really don't see that in our future, and neither does he. Probably the most normal best friendship you could ever have. So much so that we are like brother and sister, which would make it SUPER weird to date. We are go-to wing-men and the best of friends.

To end this, THANK YOU to the best friend ever. You make the world suck a little less, and I will always be your wing woman.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.
