doing lines in her picture? i'm just
returning the favor...she thought i was a
big shroomhead when we first met as
roommates our freshmen year. i
actually was scared she was going to
think i was some freak religious refugee
girl cuz half my extended family decided
to come along and move me into the
dorms. and then we had to pray for me
on the floor of the dorm room. and the
whole time i was praying "please don't
let me roommate walk in on me RIGHT
NOW."
but kim's cool like that. even though i
brought my whole family, had a slight
obsession for mushrooms, and insisted
on keeping kimchi in our tiny ass
refrigerator, we got along swimmingly.
kim rules, mushrooms drool.
fraternal twins, but we were separated
at a very early age, and this is why
our moms, who are sisters, are no
longer on speaking terms. Of course,
since our families are into secrets and
feuding, no one will tell us what
happened. It wasn't until after college
that we found each other and
reconnected, and I'm glad we did--Kim
is not just fun to go to bars with, go
camping with, and other fun things, she
is also an extremely loyal friend who
looks out for her friends (and she's
really good at organizing group
activities and bringing disparate
groups of people together, for all you
one day job recruiters and grad school
acceptance people).
You expect her to start the auction
bidding at any moment. She keeps me on
my toes and the ADD in check, I love
it! Seriously, when we worked together,
lunch with her was the highlight of my
week, damn those (we) development
people, program Rules! She always makes
me laugh and I love hearing her
adventures in dating. Let's Drink!
left-over food, and speaking of food,
don't let this tiny little woman fool
you, she can eat with the best of
them. Well, that's not really true, I
really don't know who 'the best of
them' are, but at least she can keep
up with me. All in all, thank
goodness Kim isn't the type who would
travel all the way to Italy and then
only order a salad. Oh, yeah, don't
let her fool you, she's also Nikki's
sister.
to take this girl with you. She'll pay you
back for her airfare in some suave Italian
knowlege. Guaranteed She'll find the best
food that will divert your attention away from
the shitty sicilian wine. She'll astoundingly
get you on the right train and work around
those pesky rail strikes. She'll defend you if
you're assailed by vulgar Italian phrases.
She'll create contingency plans that you'll
actually use. She'll even take you to the
homes of ELIGIBLE BACHELORS in
Bologna! Also, she's little, so she won't take
up much room in the car/train/plane/bed
next to you. Pretty much the perfect catch,
I'd say! Plus, she's very liberal with her
kitchen. I've borrowed it many times.
street when i least expect it.
metaphorically, this makes sense,
since our lives are intertwined in a
way that is not immediately obvious.
want to touch myself. not in a sexual
way, though. more of like a... no, i
guess a sexual way.
talks really fast, but for some reason
I still understand what she's saying.
And we both have a thing for musicals.
She also has plans to live our 30-
something spinster lives in a house
with a dog, but will pick the dog over
me (since I'm allergic to dogs).
Thanks a lot Kim, thanks a lot.
