you've just turned 19 and to think that i've known you for what, 12 years? haha now that's something i can brag about. you're in new zealand, i'm here in melbourne but we can still talk about onions and butt lotion ...but of course we do have our occasional intellectual conversations. i have so many memories with you that we can constantly reminisce and laugh about over and over again it never gets old. like the akazukin cha cha club, the sonic mania days, the bird exterminators, the bird exterminators' SONG (we must have been really bored), and who can forget our biggest accomplishment, seravi's generation - three buku latihan stapled together and wrapped in white paper. a novel written by two 10 year olds (or was it 9?) and hey, it was pretty good! well except for the page where 'everyone in japan attended the funeral', but come on we were just kids who knew nuts about geography. and then we REALLY went to japan in 2006! to cut the story short i just wanna wish you happy birthday, and i hope we can be friends and grow old and saggy together and talk about our whole life all over again just because. here's to you nicole, cheers to our friendship :)
