Julia is a hoot. I’m not sure she even knows that she’s my best friend. She’s the one that I know will always be there for me, that will accept me for my whole person, and that will make crude jokes that I’m way too shy to smile at.
Julie is a Jew. This is not meant to be offensive: She subscribes to the Jewish faith; it’s her culture and her family and a large part of her identity. She laughs in the face of anti-semanticism, she embraces her entire self no matter if anyone else has a reason to hate her.
Please pardon my language, but she’s fucking hilarious. She taught me how to saran wrap cars and not to be mortified when someone mentioned sex. Before I met her, I was so shy of myself that I couldn’t open up, and now she’s made it possible for me to express what I want, when I want, and to not take any prisoners. In her great words, “ I do what I want”. This has kind of become my mantra, and I’m not ashamed of it.
Friday I’m going to a concert with her to see some indie band I’ve never heard of. I’m her safety buddy. It’s then that I will see her freshly dyed purple hair and dance to some music of questionable quality until two in the morning. Like Lady Gaga (if you read my famous person blog, you’ll get the reference), she makes me feel like I can be exactly myself and it’s perfectly ohkay.
About your comment asking how come I chose OSU: My parents went here and I have been a fan my since as long as I can remember. I also wanted a huge school. I do wish I was closer to home at times, but I have some family in Newark, so that helps. Are you happy you chose a school so close to home?
ReplyDeleteI love that I am so close to home. Actually, right now I AM home (this is going to change for next year). I have a stable job here and commuting has allowed me to save a LOT of cash.
ReplyDeleteME TOO!! I saved like 6,000 just from commuting and you live closer than me so probably even more! It is awesome that you have a best friend like Julia. You seem like you both have some great times together lol
