24 Reasons I Love Dodderz

Happy birthday best friend!!! I have immortalized here why I love you, Doddy-poo!

24. You have always been insane...

Even though I didn't know you 20 years ago, this picture proves you have been high on acid your whole life. And I love that about you.

23. You are nice to everyone...

Even when said person is telling the most boring story of all time, you act like you care, while I (obviously) do not. Also, 20 years after the picture in #24 was taken, you still look crazy.

22. When you hate a picture I take of you, you don't make me delete it...

Like, you really hate this picture of you. Remember how much you hated it when I took it? You said it was weird and that we could all see up your nose. But I still posted it. And you didn't care!

21. But it is REALLY HARD to take a bad picture of you...

Because you are so darn pretty! I know it makes you feel weird when people say that, but look at you, Rachel! Ok, ok I'll move on.

20. You are browner than me...

I wanted a picture of that creepy conversation we had in D.C. where you knew everything I was saying even though I was speaking a different language, but we didn't document that. So I picked this picture instead because I got kind of tired of facebook stalking you.

19. You can make friends with literally anybody...

I don't know how you do it, because I never would have just found a friend on a bus in Israel who would pay for my private hotel room and take me to fancy restaurants before driving me to the airport. I also am not sure how you are still alive because that is the same exact plot of Taken...AND Taken 2.

18. You are the life of the party...

No, really. Wherever you are, there is a party. For real. How you have that much energy I have no idea. But that's pretty awesome.

17. You keep up with me more than I keep up with you...

I cannot think of a time I have been on skype and you have not called me, if not once but THREE TIMES IN A ROW or until I stopped ignoring you and answered. God bless you for caring.

16. Your style choices are pretty neat...

You were expecting me to bring this up, weren't you? I love how fearless you are...and I love how much it makes me laugh. I don't actually have a picture of you in the rat baby coat (or your denim gauchos) and this picture is pretty adorable, but you know this is one of my absolute favorite things about you.

15. You love me even when I am so mean to you...

Including when I make fun of your rat baby coat. You must love me a lot, because if I was you I would punch me in the face.

14. You let me sing to you, and you sing along...

Most people claim the delightful combination of my AMAZING guitar playing and my MELODIC voice is "quote, unquote" "the worst thing ever" --but not you! You "attempt" to stay "on key" with my "off key" "singing" and might even "dance," too.

13. You don't let things bug you...

No, really. I think you didn't use lotion for like two weeks because it was wrapped in foil. AND YOU DIDN'T CARE. I am also pretty sure most of your toilet was still in aluminum when we moved out three months later...

12. You REALLY love graffiti...

"Hey, this place looks dangerous! Can you park and take a picture of me in front of that dumpster?"

11. You are fearless...

This is a really important part of you, because it teaches me to be more adventurous, too. I mean I probably wouldn't sit on the window of a train in India in fear that I would tumble to my death, but maybe I'll skip studying tonight!

10. You are very forgiving...

Even when I promise you I will dress up as a Red Hat Society lady with you and make your mom buy me a hat and then not only do I lose said hat but I also don't tell you until the day of Halloween that I changed my mind. Even then!

9. You will never let me go...

8. No really. You'll just hug me tighter...

Ok, I liked it. See #21. ;)

7. You are the reason anybody is my friend...

I know for a fact you physically dragged 90% of these people out of their beds to get them to my Holi party. Did I say I love you?

6. Even these guys...

No, really. One of them avoided me for months, and I had no idea the other one existed until you introduced me to her.

5. You make my day...

I think you are a part of literally every happy memory I have of college...and most of the ones I made afterward, too.

4. You are a better companion than any dog...

Why did you let me do this to you? I don't know. But, you are this woMAN's BEST FRIEND!

3. You are comfortable in your own skin...

Actually, no you were super uncomfortable in this. But every other time this is true.

2. You dream big...

I picked this picture because that pyramid is probably really big...

...

Anyways, this is also true. You set your sights high and I like that because you are going to do some amazing things with your life and when you do those amazing things I can sell all my dirt on you to People Magazine and become a millionaire.

1. You have a sense of humor...

I just posted a lot of really embarrassing pictures of you on the internet! Hopefully you enjoyed it. To make you feel better, here is one really awful picture of me!
