So my day was literally made yesterday when Brigida emailed me. I was laughing so hard that I couldnt breath. I've missed Brigida so much it isn't even funny. And reading her email reminded me of this whole summer we spent together laughing and just being crazy. Like how we'd have these crazy long talks all of the time, driving to staff meetings or to Starbucks or sitting at the border waiting or in the loft. Brigida really has been like a best friend to me. I don't think I have ever met someone who was so interested in me. Yeah, I am always wanting to find out about people and I love listening to stories that they tell. But I've never met anyone who wanted to hear about me and know me. And Brigie always does. She wants to know the "vibe around town" and tell me about the boy she "loves to pieces." and go into all the great details with me. we were really musketeers last summer-her, sam, and me. I don't think I've ever talked with people so much. I don't think I've ever felt so me. I never got bored with Brigida. And I loved that they not only wanted to tell me all about Vancouver, a town in which I feel like I have lived all my life, but they wanted to hear about what was important to me.

And we DID so much fun stuff. And we were stuck in the most boring place on the planet-El Paso. Juarez is a lot of fun, but hey, we are two white chicks with limited english in a town of mexicans. So its not like we were out clubbing all of the time. But we made watching movies fun. And we cooked together and we played board games, and we sat at Sonic, and we did crafts, and we listened to music, and we jumped on the trampoline, and we got soaked and drove to the Smart. and we organized the bodega, and we laughed at the white people, and we played video games, and we played with the kids, and we ate ice cream, and we took pictures, and we danced for fun. And we ate lots of food all of the time. And we just drove around. I've never been more me. I've never felt more secure in somebody's company. A lot of people would say they were all stupid things. But we had fun. We really had fun.
