This week's topic is one that's pretty easy for me. Lin, Katrin and I want to hear all about...
Well, for starters, let me say that I've pretty much got the best BFF in the world. So you guys can go ahead and prepare to be jealous now. First of all, a couple of reasons that don't really work in GIFs:
She's basically the most selfless person I've ever met. I won't go into details about why, because I don't know how personal she would be comfortable with me getting, but here's just one example: When she shops on Amazon, she only buys stuff for her dog. AMAZON IS FULL OF BOOKS AND MOVIES AND AWESOME AND SHE GETS STUFF FOR THE DOG. I'm pretty sure that furry little cutie dresses better than me.
She and her hubby drove me all over Vegas on an epic mission to find a Barnes & Noble. Which took hours, and was very confusing and at times a bit scary because it was my first experience with Onstar and honestly I don't think they know what they're talking about. But she got me there because she said she would. That's what she's like - if she makes a promise, you can bet your ass she'll find a way to come through.
And, of course, there's the fact that we became best friends without ever having met.
(Oh, and in case you haven't figured it out by now, my amazingly, epically awesome BFF is Lin!)
And now for the many, many GIFs to illustrate Lin's awesomeness (warning: this is going to be long, and because I'm currently embroiled in a Grey's Anatomy re-watch, and because the Cristina/Meredith friendship is eerily familiar, they're GA GIFs):
She is totally fine with me saying things that most people would be very offended by.
She enjoys grumpy.
She gives great pep talks when I need them.
She hates people as much as I do.
She agrees that emotions are uncomfortable and unpleasant and that there should be a pill to make them go away.
She doesn't mince words.
She will comiserate with me for hours about how life is confusing, exhausting, and generally makes no sense.
We both love food. Particularly pizza.
She's hilarious. But you guys already know that.
She puts up with me, even when I'm annoying.
She loves to talk trash and judge people.
We both get that life often requires alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Her hubby and I get along too and are not above being in cahoots if it's for a greater cause, i.e. making Lin happy.
We both have issues.
Pessimism is great for bonding.
She sends me these amazing care packages with these delicious mini cookies... I dream about those cookies.
She also has an inappropriate sense of humor.
She lets me complain to her. For hours. Days, in fact.
There are about 20,000+ other things I love about her, but you get the idea. Basically:
So how about you guys? What makes your BFF the very best ever?
