the tables have turned.

this picture was taken last year at the globe when i left for my isp trip. she got up at the butt crack of dawn to pray for me and wave goodbye while i rode off into the abyss.

janai and i really should not be friends. we have opposite tastes in everything!
she hates chick flicks and musicals! when actors have accents it annoys her. she never cries. she really likes the kind of rock that i hate, she enjoys some country music. she rarely cries.
she is a health science major and is dreading those three units of art you have to take for general ed, while i am putting off all my science classes. i have fallen asleep during several of her favorite movies. she makes her bed every morning. she hates mushrooms and loves olives. she is totally a carnivore and i could go a while without meat. she loves sports and spongebob.

its just funny to think about how different we are. but yet our friendship works. i think the important thing is we listen to each other. often times i feel like relationships are pretty one sided: i either spend the eniterty of a conversation talking about my self, or i walk away wihout saying a word. its hard to find that medium of talking and listening, but i think i have that with janai. our schedules were so diferent this spring semester we would go days without seeing each other, but it was totally naturally when we finally got to hang out again. janai is willing to try stuff. she watched phantom of the opera with me (chick flick, musical, accents). she understands how i work. i don't know. im my head this post had a nice cute ending, with lots of meaningful reasons why she is so awesome but instead i rambled on about our tastes in pop culture.
mish.

she has been staying at my house this past week and tonight she left for her isp trip to argentina. i am so excited for her. i am so proud of her. i am going to miss her.
