7 Years To Go! Happy Birthday Emily Jane Sheldon!
My best friend in the entire world, Emma, just turned 23 today! 23 years ago this infant would soon grow to be a mere extension of my life. I can honestly say my life would be boring without her. True friends are extremely hard to come by, especially the friendship that Emily and I share! We know each other inside and out (well not in that sense; however, one time we did go on a date!) We talk to each other almost everyday, eventhough we're separated by half the country. Emily currently resides in Seattle, she's the big city type of girl....or not.
Some may say we're partners in crime, others may say we're lovers. The latter one is correct. So one of our lovely "Blaine and Emma" days, we made a pact that we would marry each other at the age of 30, that is if we didn't find anyone else. As time progresses, I'm pretty sure we'll be married, eventhough she has Ben and I have Peter! I'm pretty sure we were serious as a heart attack about this pact because we even bought each other engagement rings from Wal-Mart one night. Mine disappeared! Her family already refers to me as the "son-in-law", honestly! Gotta love Bill, Carol, Anne, & Sara!
I would have to say a great memory was ME taking Emma out for her 21st Birthday! I'm pretty sure she is older than I am! I was a barfly at this time, where in most cases the bar staff knew me and wouldn't even request my fake ID! It was a great time, espeically when we went out with our "new" wedding rings on in order to get people to buy us drinks.
I've never related to a person in my life as I do to Em! I'll never forget our special moments together discussing our life plans. We would cuddle together with Goo Goo Doll's Name playing on repeat talking about what we wanted to do in life. We've never really figured anything out though...I mean, look at us!
Emily Jane Sheldon, you are my bestest of best friends in the entire world! I love you with all my heart. We've been there for each other through great times and some not so pleasant times. I look forward to being best friends with you forever. We have a friendship like no other! Happy Birthday Emily, you mean the world to me!

BLAINERLOU--- You are the bestest best friend a girl could ever ask for. I can't believe i am so old! Thanks for broadcasting it all over the internet! haha J/K!! You better hurry and catch up so we're the same age again and so the real countdown begins!!! I know you wish you had as good of English skills as I do, but I guess you got the math skills, and I got the English skills. Jackie Brokaw taught me well and i guess Tom Whayle "taught" you. It must have been with all that free time you two spent in the old brown school van on the way to Malaysia. Or with Cynthia and her diet pepsi and poptarts. Haha. I can't wait until you are here and we can celebrate in another state, time zone, and possible country. I'm sure we will have a blast. I'll break out the blue star light and the BE bar will be re-opened for business and serving cocktails in no time!!! (Our "special" ones where its only about 1/3 of the bottle vodka and the rest of the bottle filled up with water mixed with our other special ingredients.) haha. LOL Or you know we could always just get some mini shots and drink them in the parking lot of Coach's. haha. I miss my Blainerlou and all the good times we've shared together. And I know one of these drunken times, while listening to the Goo Goo Dolls or Blink-182, we'll figure out our lives. Right? LOL!!! Thank you for being such a great friend and always understanding me. I wish you could be here to celebrate my birthday with me, like last year..haha, that was such a drama-filled night! OMG! Sorry about that again. Anywho, Whoha...I love you with all my heart and we will always be the bestest of friends. Even if we are thousands of miles apart. That's sad. Love you Mr. Wheeler-Spooner-Cumberdale!!! And I'm not just saying this b/c you did, but you mean the world to me too! Miss you! Love you!Posted by: Emma at February 23, 2005 9:43 PM
All i have to say is, if i dont get a post like this for MY birthday, im going to murder you. i will seriously murder you. but before i shoot you right between the eyes, i am going to hang you upside down by your toes, and castrate you with a rusty piano string. THEN i'll shoot your face off. I AM NOT KIDDING YOU.Posted by: Ashley at February 24, 2005 4:02 AM
