Today is the birthday of one of my dearest friends, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jade_okelani. She's been the Julius Campbell to my Gerry Bertier, the Bart to my Milhouse, the Monica to my Rachel, the Kumar to my Harold, the Thrall to my Jaina you get the point, for a number of years now. I don't recall how many, but it's somewhere between 3 and 6. I think.
To paraphrase that bastion of wisdom, Jack Handey, this is what your friendship over the years has meant to me, Jade:
The memories of my adventures with you are still a source of strength to me. I remember we'd pile into a car - I forget what kind it was - and drive and drive. I'm not sure where we'd go, but I think there were some games there. The smell of something was strong in the air as we read whatever book we read. I remember an older, picky girl we called "Robbie." We'd eat some stuff, or not, and then I think we went home. I guess some things never leave you.
On today, the esteemed day of your birth, I am going to name your favorite things. But ah, there's a twist to this game -- I am only going to use the letters of your name! Yes! I know, where do I come up with these fiendish plots?! It's a mystery of life.

Things Jade doesn't like:

Everybody Loves Raymond (because you know why? No one loves it)
Ohio
Kristin Scott Thomas
Early mornings
Live Journal updating
Akscully (or Alias S3)
N00bs who ask for help on every. single. little. quest.

I also can't believe how well you nailed the things I like, and the things I don't, particularly all the As. It's uncanny. How do you know the deepest, most secret truths of my heart, Sarea? How?
