For the Neglected Best Bestie Ever

Reasons why a boy can never really replace a girl best friend:

1.You don't ever complain that we don't watch enough ESPN and too many chick flicks.

2. You understand what I mean when I say I'm having a "fat day."

3. You are okay with me taking an hour to get ready.

4. You know when I say I want you to be honest with me, that I really want the absolute nicest version of that truth.

5. You don't fart on me.

6. You support having comfort foods and embracing them when necessary.

7. When I wear your clothes in public, people don't think I'm a hussy.

8. You don't judge me if I order a salad. You also don't judge me if I supersize my Big Mac.

9. You recognize emotional instability, that not everything must be because I'm PMSing. 

10. However, you can identify those days, and you don't hold them against me.

11. You never touch my fat.

12. You understand why I still facestalk ex-boyfriends. 

13. You are gentle with my ego.

14. We can listen to Josh Groban together.

15. We can talk about how hot Matthew McConagahy is. 

16. You understand why I have 8 eyeliner colors.

17. We never have to have DTRs. 

18. You understand why I can't stand the thought of being a career woman, but also why I couldn't be a baby-making homemaker machine.

19. We cry at tender love scenes and wedding receptions just because we love love.

20. You love all the knitty gritty details. Or maybe you just know I love telling stories, which is even more sweet.

21. You always know where we're are.

22. You let me stop to go to the bathroom on road trips as often as I want.

23. You value the end transformation more, because you saw me when I woke up this morning. And before I went to bed. And after I cried for and hour. And after I threw up. 

24. You NEVER mock how I feel.

25. I always know where you stand. We are always on the same team.  Nothing jeopardizes that. 

26. You know to laugh at my quirks and not my insecurities.

27. You don't get frustrated that I don't care about cars or sports.

28. It doesn't matter if you call when you say you will, for some reason it's fine when we do this, but boys are jerks when they do.

29. You hate anyone that's hurt me. I hate anyone that's hurt you. Even if they are actually nice people. It's understood. 

30. I don't care that I'm like a foot taller than you.

31. You let me curl your hair when I need to de-stress.

32. You can't  swear even when you try. 

33. When I'm dressed like a hoochie, you accept that I'm probably just getting hot and not trying to lure you in with my long legs and bare shoulders.

34. When I'm dressed like a hobo, you accept I probably just need to be comfortable for awhile, not that I've totally given up on myself.

35. You still like Disney movies.

36. You don't expect me to wait on you.

37. You have no problem committing to me in the future, nor I to yours.

38. IIII MIIIIIISSSSSS YYYYYOOOOOOOOUUUUU!
