alxcited:

Today is Sonya’s Birthday, and while the (hopefully) wild celebrations won’t take place till Saturday I hope you’ll send some good vibes her way with me. She’s a one a million friend who just gets it. You know the kind that you can email all day talking about nothing and everything and still want to hang out with at night? We share a mutual appreciation for Lars Von Trier, Mark Harris, any/all wine, food trucks, guys that don’t suck/discussing if they exist, books, spontaneous road trips, and Amanda Bynes’ twitter … if that’s not the basis for fine friendship I don’t know what is. On top of that she doesn’t even make you feel bad when you get drunk, fall down, and then leave a bar without even telling her where you went. Not that I’ve done that more than once (yes I have). We met sometime around third year film studies at UBC when she was already 900% cooler than me, and whatever reason made her befriend this yokel from Northern Ontario, I’m sure glad she did. I always feel like I get way more out of this friendship than she does, I hope to her I’m even half the friend she is to me. ‘Cause truth be told, there is no way I could have made it through the job hunt hell and painful breakup that this year brought me without her.  On Saturday I’ll probably tell her a million times that she’s the best (as I do after approximately 3.5 drinks). I’ve never felt happier that someone’s life is going amazingly, than I currently do for her. I hope tonight she’s feeling all the love and warm fuzzy feelings in this world because she deserves it. Happy Birthday!!!

Oooookayyy, well this is just the nicest thing. If tumblr ever needed one single reason to exist, this niceness is better than most.

There’s really no good way to respond to something so singularly great as a good friend expressing good friendship… so I’ll just say this: I am SUPER SUPER grateful to whatever grace ended up making Alex and I such good friends. Smart, funny, and definitely a lady with some serious emotional intelligence.

I’m pretty sure we really took turns carrying each other through this year. Sometimes literally. (Leaving Portland, for instance, definitely required some ~steely friendship~ hahaha)

Awwwww, MY HEART! We’ll definitely be Taco Tuesdays for years to come.

PS. “guys that don’t suck/discussing if they exist”? Brilliant.

PPS. Great hair in that pic girl.
