Day 8 – Your Favorite Internet Friend
Dear Sneaks,
I know we’ve actually met (once) in real life, but I think it would be so unfair if I didn’t say you’re my favorite online friend. It was because of this blog that I met you, and man I was so lucky you commented. You’re, in the nicest way possible, a complete nerd. You find the nerdiest and geekiest things awesome. The great part is, nerdy is the new sexy, and hellsyeah you’re one sexy chick! The stuff you like, whenever I bother to actually go check it out myself, is always really awesome and out there – which is so refreshing compared to the crap we are now exposed to.
You’re also incredibly supportive. You always have some encourage for me, and never fail to give me constructive criticism when I need it.
I honestly don’t have any worries about you and your exams, and your future. You’re too conscientious a person to ever screw up your work. But what I do worry about is that your shyness will get in the way of people getting to see your awesomeness, because they assume you’re just another quiet geeky Asian. You’re not (well you are, but that’s not all).
Take care of yourself!
Alex.
Is it weird that I got butterflies from reading this? This deserves a reply.
Dear A,
Do you know what I love most about you? I love that you’re so…real. I don’t mean she’s-actually-a-person real but she’s-a-no-crap-kinda-person real. It’s funny how you said the stuff I like is “refreshing compared to the crap we are now exposed to” because that’s what I think about you! Well actually, that works; I like you because you’re “really awesome and out there”.
I love that you still play Pokemon, find joy in watching sitcoms, are always willing listen and above all, the person who makes decisions regardless of what others think and do. Perhaps that is what makes you so freakin’ awesome. It is YOU who is awesome as opposed to you wanting to be awesome. 🙂
Wow, 19 today! Have a super-duper last year in teen-dom. Do something amazing and extraordinary (cough, like publish your novel).
Stay awesome!
Sneaks.
