Bekkis birthday isnt today
its tomorrow
but i wont have time to blog tomorrow
so i thought i would get a head start
i remember one year on bekkis birthday
she got in a fight with her family
so she came to my house
and we watched finding nemo
afterwards i was walking her home
a whole three houses away
and she hugged me SO tight and said
you are just what i need
thank you
and every year on her birthday
ALWAYS ended with a streaking party
...
im not kidding
i really was SO SHY
and bekki really brought me out of that
...
forcefully
but she always wanted to go streaking
she was a very free spirit
and she would literally rip my cloths off of me
[that sounds worse than it is..]
anyway
so streaking it was!
and streaking it will always be!
in fact!
me and bekki went streaking at girls camp one year
and we both got kicked out
banned
never to return!
so ya know what we did?
we went streaking through the
young womens presidents front yard!
yup
rebles
she always got me to do the craziest things!
lighting stuff of fire
making nasty food for her brothers
digging HUGE holes in her back yard
sneaking out
and really...lots of stuff with fire
bekki taught me how to be myself
accept myself
and more importantly accept others
i will admit im not always the best at that
but bekki really was
she did not judge people
she loved everyone
she accepted everyone
she wanted to be everyones friend
she would do anything to make her friends happy
i kick myself for everyday i didnt hang out wither her
or every time i didnt text her back
but i found a FB message she sent me
awhile back that said
You are always the funniest person to be around.
You will always be one
of my very best friends.
I hope we can board and just be crazy again soon.
I just cant believe she is gone
but no matter what we are still blood sisters
and i will always have those memories
and i will always be here for her family
and i will always remember and love her
losing bekki has taught me not to take
anyone for granted
and because it is her 19th birthday tomorrow
in her honor i will share some stories about her
with you fellow readers (:
short story...bekki taught me how to use tampons..end of story
girls camp involved
-streaking
-running away
-taking pictures of people in the middle of
the night and laughing at their faces
in the quick second of the flash
-pulling pranks on other girls
and all that got us kicked out..pfff
girls just wanna have fun
one night we were having a sleepover
and it was like 3 in the morning
her brothers were watching t.v in the other room
and we decided we wanted pancakes
so we asked if they wanted some too
and they did
but us being the evil little girls we were
we put
dog hair
spit
dirt
boogers
salt
pepper
etc.
in their pancakes..
they ate them...
and wanted more!?
the more they wanted the worse they got
until they started finding hair in them and
figured us out
another sleep over we were having
i woke up suddenly because i felt something on me
i open my eyes
its bekki
straddling me with my shirt up
trying to pierce my belly button!
i freaked out
we fought for a minute till she gave up
our favorite thing to eat
was spaghetti o's and goldfish
in jr. high we did high jump together
and for one meet
we duct tapped stripes on our legs
then used tanning lotion
to tan stripes onto our legs
we laughed so hard when we took the duct tape off
yet we were so excited for the meet the next day
we looked ridiclous
bekki found this band called
Hey Monday
and was obsessed with them!
she showed them to me and now i love them too
but they had a concert coming up
my mom wouldnt let me go so i told her
i was sleeping over at bekkis
me bekki her sister rachel and our friend danelle
all went up to the concert
we LOVED it
but bekki took her bandana off and told me
to take my shirt off and wear it
...i got to the point where
whatever she said i would do basically
so i did and i climbed up on danelle's shoulders
and we were all rockin out when
guess who comes up to say hi?
our young womens leader
awkward
her family always took me snowboarding
to brighton with them
we shared a passion for snowboarding
we were together so much
that our periods were in sync
cause thats what happens with girls
so we were both on our period
raging at the world
so naturally we took a box of tampons
down to her basement and lit them of fire
chanting hateful words
one summer there was a big
circle of dead grass where her trampoline used to be
..we got lighter fluid
and made
"THE RING OF FIRE"
and that it was...
her mom comes outside and says
"uhh! you guys! dont burn down
the house at least ok!?"
...we didnt(:
i think that is all for now
but i hope these stories made some of you laugh
i know they were a little TMI
but bekki had
NO PERSONAL BUBBLE!
i love her
i miss her
but i know she is watching over us all now
and i hope she is snowboarding up in heaven
last thing!
i watch THE VOICE all the time
and Cassadee Pope
the lead singer of Hey Monday is on it!
i freaked out!
i almost called bekki when i saw her...
but cassadee is totally killing it
and is still on the show!
a week or two ago she sang
over you by miranda lambert
and i cried my eyes out
EVERY SINGLE WORD
in that song reminds me of bekki
and ever better one of her favorite singers is singing it!
now i listen to that song of repeat every night
till i fall asleep
here it is
even now it brings tears to my eyes...
