Despite our different backgrounds and locations, a friendship was born in those classes we despised. It was in those classes that our names of Steve and Billybob originated. And later, in the classrooms of the high school was where our comics were created, and have since relished. Where there was a demon teacher, there was a comic that told of many ways we would defeat her. It was our ambition to one day turn those comics into a TV show and air them on Adult Swim.
One thing I love about Becca is how nerdy she is, and I wouldn't change it for the world. She knows Star Wars, Star Trek, and just about every super hero. She watches all the nerd movies; Iron Man, Thor, Star Trek, the X-Men series, Spiderman. She likes The Big Bang Theory, which I admit I enjoy as well. Another way Becca nerds it up is through video games: God of War, Rock Band, Dragon Age. She can answer any question with a Beetles song (which was a game she and her best friend, Brittney played).
I'd have to say the nerdiest thing Becca does is write a fanfiction for Dragon Age. I haven't read it, but I try my best to encourage her to keep writing. Perhaps one day she'll be an author.
Becca has a heart of gold, warm and motherly. She's shy and can have low self esteem at times. I try to tell her she's amazing and that she needs to be happy with who she is. She loves art and wants to teach it to our country's children, but people look down on her for it. I think it's a wonderful thing; kids need a creative outlet for their emotions, whether it be through painting, story writing, or piano playing. Art is as important for children as writing was for Shakespeare. Without art, video games, clothing lines, and houses wouldn't exist. Everything involves art, and I believe people forget that.
Becca is also insecure about her appearance. I want her to love herself. Becca and I know know a few girls who are bigger than her and love the way they are. Big and beautiful. I want Becca to have the same confidence, minus the skank clothing, haha.
Becca and I have shared many awkward moments, from watching big girls dance like they're in a strip club to finding toenail clippings and red pubic hair on our Astronomy desks.
One winter's day on campus...
Me: It's cold as Hell out here!
Becca: Hell isn't cold?
Me: It will be when I get there.
later...
Becca: I'll meet you in your frozen Hell.
Me: I greet you to my frozen paradise with hot chocolate.
Once, Becca texted me while on campus, "So guess what happened to me today? I got hit by a dead bird!"
An epic moment of Becca's...
Becca: Idk how to say OK in Spanish.
Me: OK is universal.
Becca: So is my middle finger.
Which was later ruined by...
We had a student teacher in a college English class. Becca was driving us around on campus one day...
Me: Hey there's Chris!
Becca: Honk at him!
*awkward silence*
Yea, Becca nad I have had many good times together in the past, and plan to have many more in the future. I've told her that when I get married she's to be my maid of honor.
I can't wait to see what our future has in store. =]
Awwww, friend!!!!! I'm not sure what to say. I pretty much love you more than life itself. You, my friend, are beautiful. And I love that you put my epic moments of epicness... and my ra-tard moments or ra-tardness. :) What will people say?!?! Haha!! I've had some of the best times with you. I'm not sure where I would be without you in my life. You were there for every silly crush, every dumb moment, every breakdown, every pity party, every hard time... And I'm sorry if I ever seemed ungrateful. For nothing could be farther from the truth. I know the Lord was truly looking out for me when he sent you my way. Thank you. Your words are sweeter than... than candy. Lol. Thank you for all your support in my nerdyness and my art:) And for helping see myself in a better light. I'm sure I'll still have my weak moments and think less of myself. But your words do wonders.... Maybe I'll see myself as someone of worth... I think I'm about there:)
