About Me:
I think I am one of the last people in the free world to be on Friendster and I really had no interest until Miriam offered to write a testimonial about how much peanut butter I eat, which made me realize that Friendster must satisfy that need we all have to hear people say really witty things about us as if we can't hear them. Sort of like being honored at a Friar's Club Roast, only not so harsh.
So bring it on, people, make sure I know just how freakin' charming you think I am! (But try to leave out the parts about how sometimes my stories are too long and aren't that funny and eat food products that aren't mine and I have a tendency to let our really nasty burps without apologizing or acknowledging it...)

Testimonials and Comments for Emily
Emily introduced me to the Hickory Hut. Together, we were the only white girls in that joint, and we purposefully dehyrated ourselves eating their ribs, chicken, french fries, potato salad, beans, coleslaw and fried okra (this is was our regular order, usually consumed in two sittings) while watching such classics as, "Coal Miner's Daughter" and "A Star is Born." We new this particular brand of fun self-abuse had reached new heights when we entered the Hickory Hut, and approached the counter as usual. The cashier took one look at lovely Emily and said, "Half a chicken, right?" Emily has remarked that she didn't know whether she felt a deep sense of accomplishment or crippling embarrassment at that moment. I was proud. I'm always proud of my girl.
She has the uncommon ability to catch you off guard with a bizarre comment that will make you laugh out loud.
She's brilliant, she's smart, but she doesn't let it go to her head. She's a free spirit, open-minded, running with the wind.
She's the best.
emily is the kind of person you whisper with on the couch while your roommates are having a knock down, drag out.
emily is the kind of person you can fart with in a small contained space.
emily will take you to ikea when you move into your first apartment. she'll also stick around to help paint away the yellow-green color of your new room. emily's the kind of person who references oprah in her daily conversations. she's the kind of person who will take you in for thanksgiving and get drunk with you by noon. she'll do all of this while making your sides hurt with laughter.
like i said. i just don't think my last testimonial fully grasped my love for emily.
on a couple of occasions we have traveled across this great nation in her dented toyota. together we have seen everything from graceland to the grand canyon. but i think if you asked her what her favorite part of our travels were she would always say wisconsin.
