Happy nineteenth, from here onwards, you'll shine like you never have before.

Throughout our 2 years of friendship, she's always been the endearingly sweet one, with hardly a bad word to say about others (with the occasional outbursts of anger and hatred, of course, when her mood fancies it, come on, she's still only human!) I'd like to think that I'm the one who taught her how to be meaner and say "NO" to people who are definitely not worth this girl's attention and kindness. Then again, maybe it's her patient nature that allowed her to stick with me through the fat and thin, and not get tired of my lunacy and hissy, prissy antics. Nevertheless, i think you've toughened up a bit and do you know how heartening it was, to see you kick out of yet another downfall (i still hope he shits in his canoe) better and more level-headed than ever!

I love you heaps.

& you jolly well believe it!

Farah, look, it's all the things you love!

There are lots more that i'd love to have included,

but you know, space & time just won't permit it!

So here's a poem instead.

A Friend Like You

There's lots of things
With which I'm blessed,
Tho' my life's been both Sunny and Blue,
But of all my blessings,
This one's the best:
To have a friend like you.

In times of trouble
Friends will say,
"Just ask... I'll help you through it."
But you don't wait for me to ask,
You just get up
And you do it!

And I can think
Of nothing in life
That I could more wisely do,
Than know a friend,
And be a friend,
And love a friend... like you.

-Unknown.

You know how rare birthday dedications are on my blog. So you'll know just how special this one is specifically crafted for you.

With you in mind, the whole day,

I've thought alot about what i want to say.

Plus, typing means i don't have to pay,

for any presents along the way! (haha, kidding)

Just know that i'll always love you,

Fat days, thin days, through and through!

Even if you grow a big hairy mole,

i will refrain from saying "boo :("

You're oh so special just so you know

I really hope the next guy you meet would go with your flow.

Otherwise it would really blow

For me to not see the way happiness makes you glow.

Our friendship's centered around food,

Banmian, sushi, cheese and chocolatey slime.

Almost anything to suit our mood!

However, we'll know just when to draw the line,

It's when our feet are too fat to fit into boots!

Okay, the last four lines don't rhyme. I can only wish and pray for the finest that you deserve in this world. I pray for your happiness, your health and your future weight-loss expeditions. Even if my years at MI ended up dreadfully lousy, I'm just glad we had the chance to cross paths long enough for me to get to know you like this (: And i mean it.

Now gal pal, let's tackle A's right by the balls.

We'll have it castrated by the time we're done.
