In honor of her birthday I’ll share the story of Brandi and Linda.
So Brandi and I met at Radijazz. our last semester of college. She had been working there for years and was a manager. The job just kind of landed in my lap from a college friend. We were friendly but our friendship didn’t really take off until January of 06. I asked her if she wanted to go skydiving with me. I was pleasantly surprised when she agreed so casually. Few weeks later we jumped out of a plane together and that propelled our friendship. Here we are before our jump in January 2006.
She went to move away for a few months and when things fell through she came back a week or so after her 22nd birthday. We picked up where we left and celebrated her birthday for the first time together. Had a dinner party at Hula Hut and then Whitney and I took her out downtown. I found 22 lucky cute boys to give her birthday kisses and documented every kiss.
Last summer, we held a funeral for a dying relationship she had with an evil boy. I served lasagna for dinner to her and Jessica and then offered my fireplace to be the pyre of said relationship.
We had so much fun we decided we needed to eat every week.
Which brings us to the birth of our dinner club. Every week, Brandi, Jessica, Whitney and I meet and take turns making dinner and then we watch Grey’s.
Aside from the fun things we do and the weekly bonding, I also would like to share what kind of person she is. She is the kind of person to throw a surprise birthday dinner. She is the kind of person who would bake you a whole batch of cupcakes for your birthday. She’ll hold your pet squirrel despite being terrified of squirrels so you can sew up the stitches he ate through on his squirrel nuts after being neutered (true story!). She is the kind of person who will check up on you if you haven’t called in a while. She is the kind of person you’d be lucky to call a friend.
