My best friend’s name is Lauren. She is 16 years old and has long mousey brown hair. I am taller than her by a good 2 inches, but she is older than me by a good 2 weeks. Lauren and I have known each other since I was born, and have been best friends since we were able to understand what the words “best friends” meant. I can always count on her to have my back, but if i were going to have to be stuck on an island with someone I wouldn’t want to be stuck with her. My reasons for this would be the fact that she can get on my last nerve and i would probably turn to cannibalism to make the bickering end. Aside from being so close that we fight like sisters and are way too mean to each other way too often, she is the person who’s opinion I care most about, aside from God’s, my parent’s, my sister’s, my boyfriend’s, my other friend’s, my dog’s…okay so maybe her opinion isn’t the highest, but I do care what she thinks. Lauren and I are interested in somewhat of the same things, like we both love volleyball…and that’s where the similarities stop. Like for instance…she lifts weights for fun and I lift them for punishment. I love to run and she would rather drop a 50lbs weight on her toes…(her words not mine.) I also love to shop and she hates to shop. She likes to shower for 30 minutes and I like to take a good 10. Even though we have almost nothing in common we have everything in common because we are friends and we do the things that the other loves to indulge them. Just like love, a friendship only works if you put in the effort to create it, and that is just what we have done.

I have a lot of things that are dear to me in my life, but my most prized possession would have to be the little black rectangle that is 7.44″ x 4.72″ x 0.45″. It has a little 7″ screen, and it holds my life. My most prized possession is my Kindle Fire HD by Amazon. The reason why it is my most prized possession is not because it is an electronic and expensive, but because it has my Pintrest, all of my favorite books, my Dragon Vale account, and most importantly it has written among its codes my glorious Netflix account. Now you may be thinking: Why do you hold that so dear to you, aren’t there like actual devices that can perform each of those individual operations, and aren’t there like actual books you can hold? Well to answer you my dear reader, I would have to say that the reason why i like this particular device is because i still have complete access to my cell phone while having all of the glories that my Kindle offers me. To say in the least, I might actually be in love with it. I normally use this item when I am on vacation and don’t have access to a computer or Netflix account. My Kindle goes everywhere with me when it is charged and when its dead it has a spa day of relaxation on its charger. However normally it can go a week without being charged, so I charge it on Sundays. I value my Kindle so much that it has even made my top 5 list of things I would save from a fire.

In my backyard there are many things to do. Things such as swimming, playing tether-ball, jumping on my trampoline, shooting my bow, swinging on the hammock, and gardening. There is one specific time that I can remember when all of my friends came over and we hung out and jumped on my trampoline like we were all 5 years old again. We played tag, and crack-the-egg, and we just sat and talked for at least 2 hours. After we all got tired of being outside, the had all had our fair share of mosquito bites and the tether-ball had hit us all in the face at least once (but really it was because we could no longer see the hand in front of our face) we all went inside and watched a movie. Now there was a large debate about what kind of movie to watch, but the 4 girls sent the guys into the other room because we were going to choose the movie and we were not going to watch a horror movie or an action movie that we would get bored with quickly. After a much needed debate about this life-changing decision we had come to the agreement to make them suffer for eating all of my fruit-snacks, and we were going to watch the chick-flick about a mermaid searching for love on land. No it was not the red headed mermaid but the blonde with the aquamarine high-lights…Aquamarine. No of course there was mumbling and grumbling from the guys, but since they had no better option we all decided to watch it. (Plus, I think they thought that the mermaid was hot.)
