S'tacha and I have been besties since '03, so 5 years. She's literally my sister from a different mister. No joke. She is the one person in the whole world who knows everything about me. She probably knows me better than I do. I hardly get to see her, but hopefully (*crosses fingers*) I'll be able to hang out with her Friday when I head back down to Rochester for a 4th of July party.
John is probably my best male friend, although, but Ryan is right up there. I've only seriously known John since Jan/Feb. But for anybody who has heard me talk about him, this kid is amazing. I love this kid to pieces so much. He was the one to comfort me when I was having a ****ty day and nobody else even bothered- even though he was part of the reason it was a crappy day! We were at a track meet and he'd been dared to ask this other girl out and that alone was depressing, but then I had a horrible day in all my events, too. I had a complete breakdown- bad enough that I had to leave the meet for a bit to calm down. I hate it when people comfort me and I'm still crying. I need a bit of alone time and then I'm fine with it. So he took the hint when I started telling other people to go away. And then he was spending all his time with said other girl, adding to my stress, but w/e. We got back to the school and I was driving him home and just before we left the parking lot he looked at me and said "I heard about today. Sorry." and gave me a bear hug. Sorry for the rambling.
Ryan Murphy is actually my bus driver. Yeah, I know, strange. I've known him since Jan. of 2007. He's 29 (but he'll be 30 in 10 days!), so it isn't as creepy as most people think. He's my ex-boyfriend's sensei. He's my adult bestie. I text this guy the most random stuff and he text back with more random stuff. He's the guy I'd go to if I ever needed help and couldn't go to my family. He's a black belt in like...seven different styles of martial arts and has threatened to kick *** and take names if a guy or gal ever hurts me. We joke about a lot of things. I'll call him a Stupid Mexican (and he is like 75% mexican. But with a name like Ryan Murphy, you'd never guess) and he'll call me a dumb frog (because I'm just over 45% french) and we'll laugh at each other. He's like the older brother that my older brother never was. He's actually 10 years younger than my older brother. He's also go one of the worst Boston/New England accents in the history of the world.
