today is my best-best friend's birthday.
we have so many good memories. so, in honor of this special day, i have compiled a list of favorite memories throughout the nearly four years of our friendship [has it really been that long??].
1. chelise's modern dance routine.
you have to see/know her to really understand the hilarity of the situation. just imagine a female-version of napoleon dynamite doing "the crab" (my personal favorite) or that little tap-esque move dancing very seriously to an efy song.
the funniest part: we were actually watching napoleon dynamite when chelise came in to invite us into the living room (with all the furniture pushed out of the way) to watch her dance routine.
hahahhaha
2. nosebleed.
this is probably one of our best anecdotes. alyx and i retold this story last weekend and were pleased to find out that other people really think it's as funny as we think it is!
it's kind of long, so i'll sum it up in a few phrases: white glove. early morning. potholder.
3. kitchen-cleaning to celine dion.
this happens pretty often, but the instance that comes to mind was last fall when my kitchen was disgusting and i posted on facebook that i was going to clean it, and alyx posted a reply saying she'd be there in ten minutes and the second i read that, a celine song came on my ipod (which was on shuffle). i don't know what it is about that woman's voice that makes doing dishes so enjoyable, but i just can't clean the kitchen without her (or alyx)!
4. butt-dance.
here's a mathematical formula for you: justin timberlake + my butt dance + chelise(the most innocent person to ever grace the earth) = lots and lots and lots of laughing.
5. road trip from rexburg to utah [winter 2007].
do you remember this one, alyx? this is the one where i made like seven mix cds and we pretty much screamed along to every song and it was glorious.
6. balancing contests.
i LOVE this game. even though alyx always wins.
7. valentine's day 2007.
i was so scared to get caught. i mean, not only were we outside... after curfew... we were also sneaking around cottonwood leaving chalk drawings and cookies for our favorite boys. HUGE NO-NO! but it was so worth it. that body outline in the middle of the road was genius.
8. basically anything that has to do with jackson.
jim, boyd (haha), late-night kitchen cleanings to the rocket summer and celine, hikes, that hideous picture of me on the tractor that should be deleted, watching dawsons creek inbetween shifts,
9. THE WAR.
it wasn't really a war. i just posted a bunch of "incriminating" photos of alyx on facebook because she wouldn't delete said tractor picture.
10. memoir board.
it started as a self-portrait alyx's sister sent to alyx and ended up as a sort of bulletin board for all of our memorabilia (i.e. friendship contract).
11. teary phone calls.
"alyx? i did something really stupid..."
12. high school musical [both 1, 2, and 3].
specifically: locking ourselves in the apartment and learning the dance to "we're all in this together" (HSM1), crying when troy and gabriella break up (HSM2), and alyx's mom taking us to the big theater to see HSM3.
13. first anniversary.
that chocolate was DANG GOOD.
14. learning all the words to "ice ice baby".
i still can't believe we printed out the lyrics and distributed them amongst our friends. i wonder if chalei still remembers every word...
15. rocket summer show.
that venue was HOT. LITERALLY.
16. vanilla coke runs.
that drink heals all.
17. taco bell runs.
double decker.
18. photo shoot with nancy and chelise.
they are some buff girls. hahahhaa.
19. dressing up all crazy and going to acoustic cafe.
crazy, crazy hair. but it made for great photos!
20. rooney interpretive dancing/lyric rewording.
the moment we realized that we would be friends forever.
i'm so grateful for alyx for being there whenever i need her. she's such an amazing friend and i love her much!
happy birthday, alyx!!
