Best Friends Day

Apparently, today is Best Friends Day.

How do I know?

I got this amusing email an hour ago.


Lys,

Some douchebag at work last night told me that today (the 15th) is best friend's day. I know we're not best friends. Well, we are. Fuck you, you know what I mean. But I was thinking that we should have a hikari/yami day. We don't have to call it that. Come up with something. We'll go out to dinner. Actually, my treat as long as you think up a better name than my crap one.

I'm coming over at 7. Be home.


Er, it's not signed, but that's from Marlie. 'Lys' is a nickname that she and a few of my closer friends call me because, apparently, Alyssa is a mouthful.

I love this girl so much. How could you not? I am grinning right now because that email is just completely... Marlie. Most notably the "I know we're not best friends.... fuck you, you know what I mean" part. She's not the most eloquent person, but she doesn't have to be with me. I always know what she means anyway.

Most of our conversations end up in some half-mental territory that no one else can understand.

Me: "Do you remember what we talked about last Saturday that we hadn't thought of?"
Marlie: "Yeah."
Me: "We should definitely-"
Marlie: "Yeah! When will you pick me up?"
Me: "Nah, my car's-"
Marlie: "I'll get you at six-"
Me: "Make it seven. It's-"
Marlie: "Sunday. Mystery Diagnosis. We're out of batteries."
Me: "Kay."
Everyone Else: ????
My mom: "Wait, what are you guys doing on Sunday?"

In this case, I'd remembered that on Saturday we thought about Laser Tag, which we haven't done in forever. There's a local place we used to go to a lot, but he hadn't gone to since we got back from school this summer. And Marlie remembered that the last time we went, we used up the batteries in our guns and we needed new ones for this time. Not apparent to you, maybe, but crystal clear to us.

Two more blog-business type things. I keep getting comments/emails saying that someone emailed them this blog. I don't know who's doing it, but keep it up! It sounds less like spam and more like targeted link-passing. Also, you should know that if you comment on this blog, I'm loving you for it. I try to reply to comments by doing it on your blog, but if you don't have one, I'll reply by commenting on the same entry you did. That means you should check back later to see what I said.

To be busted/upheld later... Myth #3. Hikaris are physically weak. Yamis are physically strong, and they are at least stronger than their hikari. (Source)
