1995 : 2010
(1995, Tiffany’s backyard, Age 15)
My best friend Tiffany has seen me do some pretty heinous & utterly ridiculous things. It’s nice to have friends that you literally can not shock anymore. So you can just be yourself. Say anything, say everything, say nothing … because, y’see you get to communicate on a different level of non-verbal communication that tells more stories about what’s really GOING on.
Amen to that I say.
Literally – my friend Tiffany has been my friend longer than my biological father was physically in my life. So the conclusion I could draw here is that my friend Tiffany IS my dad. And then I could ask her for a new car and to go to a ball game. And also to help me with my finances. And maybe for investing advice. And to help build a bookcase for my bedroom. Hmmm.
