Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one. ~ C. S. Lewis
I have no clue when that moment was for Gruber and I, but second semester freshman year was the start to this best friendship. A little background for those of you who don't know the whole story. Gruber and I met on the soccer team our freshman year at St. Kate's, but we didn't really hangout till second semester freshman year cause she lived in the reject dorms and so I never saw her besides at soccer. Then we ended up being lab partners in "Mystery Chem Lab." For this class we had to do full lab write ups, so every Wednesday night we would meet up and eat dinner in the caf, go write up our lab at the "professional desk" in the basement of the library, and then go watch the weekly Wednesday movie in JDA.
So we aren't like all the other girls that are like, "OH YOU ARE TOTALLY MY BFF!!" and then fight a week later and never talk again. We also are not like other girls that are BFFs with every girl they meet. Gruber and I are BFFs to the utmost meaning of the words. Just to show you how well we know each other and how well we get along here are a few examples.
1) The name of this post is just like Gruber and I. I love cake and hate frosting and Gruber loves frosting and hates cake. So whenever we get cupcakes I will take off the frosting and leave it for Gruber to eat later.
2) WE LOVE SOCCER, FOOTBALL (the European one of course) or FUTBOL (whichever you think is the correct term)!!! We also LOVE AMERICA!! So we are really into the US national soccer teams. But Gruber is really into the men's side (aka Clint Dempsey) and I am really into the women's side (Megan Rapineo and pretty much the whole team minus Hope Solo). So we are constantly informed of how each side is doing.
3) Whenever we eat a meal together and I don't like something, Gruber eats it for me.
4) Number 3 also applies to candy.
5) Okay now for a non-food one. Gruber is going to go to graduate school for Physical Therapy and I just graduated with a nursing degree. So it works out really nicely when I need to be taped before one of your coed games. And she comes to me whenever she or her mom thinks she might have some sickness or disease.
6) We also know exactly what to get each other for gifts. Gruber knows my undying love for Harry Potter so she got me a nicely framed artwork of HP for my birthday. For Christmas this year I know Gruber wanted a new pair of sweatpants and I was able to pick the correct size and color!
7) Most important reason why we are best friends forever is that we know each other like the back of our own hands. I know that pretty much everyday after work (aka 6ish to about 7:30) Gruber is working out. Gruber knows that I LOVE steak! And that as a hilarious marriage proposal I would think it would be cool if my future husband put a ring in a steak for me to find. Those are just a couple weird things, there are many many more.
Here are some friendships that we think we are comparable too.
1) Kristen Wigg and Maya Rudolph in Bridesmaid
2) Megan Rapineo and Lori Lindsey on the US National Soccer Team
3) Tina Fey and Amy Poehler
4) Oprah and Gayle
5) Jess and Jules from Bend it Like Beckham
6) Mike and Sully from Monsters Inc.
7) Hassel and Derek from Zoolander at the end of the movie
8) Lloyd and Harry from Dumb and Dumber
9) Woody and Buzz from Toy Story
10) Ferris and Cameron from Ferris Bueller's Day Off
If you laugh really loud, talk spontaneously, and you don't care what your face looks like... you are probably with your best friends. - Unknown
