[Image] Well, a short era, that is. Today my friend Isabel left for CA. She's going back home for a new start. For that reason, I am excited for her and probably a little envious. But I'm also devastated because I will miss her so much.
I drove her to the airport this morning and although I was sure I would cry, I managed not to. Of course now, I'm feeling all weepy.
Since I know she'll eventually read this, I thought I would list all the great things I associate with our friendship... a la Senior Will and Testament style (I never did one of those my senior year but I think its oh so appropriate)...
"Being of unsound mind and Geritol-needful body, I, Stephanie Cake, bequeth to XOIsabel the following: A truckload of creepy dolls. Many fruitful trips to Ryan's Relics. A million thrift-o-rama weekends. Laughter at our own expense (I've tried to block out the rollerblading incident but, alas... LOL!). Armloads of weird crap from the Book Thing (back before it was all organized of course). A healthy obsession with Charm City Rollergirls. Even tho I don't want to be one anymore. More art supplies than you could ever use in twelve lifetimes. Damn, the booty don't stop! and other useful cach phrases. Monkey in the middle with Connor @ Worthington and sharing my revulsion of wet bathroom floors. A case of Tranny Honey. You never know when you're gonna need it. All of the trash Cheryl throws away in her craft room. We can always make art with that shit. On that note, the need to never bring a single art/craft supply to Cheryl's since she owns more than we do... and organizes it better. Stacks of vintage playboy, French fashion magazines and other softcore porn-y goodness. A whole dictionary of inventive curses.. most learned from Deadwood.A closet full of shoes and a pair of rollerblades you've only worn once. " Good luck on your journey, chica. You don't need it because I know you will make awesomeness wherever you go, but buena suerte, nonetheless.
