shadowKAT

Okay, so my friend Kat and I decided to write an entry about each other because, well I'm not sure. We're just weird like that. And I'm moving to a different school, so it's nice to reminisce. =) Kay, here it goes:

I first met Kat in the 8th grade. We were introduced by a mutual friend (let's call her Courtney because that may or may not be her real name). I believe it started with:

Courtney: Hey, you like Inuyasha, right Arielle?
Me: Uh yeah, I guess.

Courtney: (pointing to Kat) She likes Inuyasha, too.


Or something like that. I can't quite remember but I'm 100% sure it had to do with Inuyasha. And I remember being annoyed because apparently, I was some superior anime nerd who though people who just watched Inuyasha on Adult Swim were inferior. I was a nerdy snob. Anyway, we didn't become friends right away. There were a couple of other meetings that were related to me liking KagomexInuyasha and Kat hating Kagome... It was weird. Haha. And then we gradually became closer friends. I'm not sure how it happened, but I'm sure it was because of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Kingdom Hearts, Naruto, and deviantART.

And stemming from those common interests was: EWC. The Elemental Wielders Club. We thought we were Keyblade masters and we were associated with certain elements. I was water/ice, Kat was fire, and Courtney was air. Actually, "was" should be "is," because we still use those elements to associate each other with. Why we were acting like Keyblade masters in 8th grade was probably mostly because of me. I'm really fantastical and imaginative and I like to start different "clubs" every year. But that's a different story...

And I just remembered I had to make a list about her:
  • She has the nerve to text me right when I'm about to go to sleep, asking me to go on Yahoo Messenger and making me believe that she had to talk about something really important, but we end up having a conversation about random things as usual
  • We have the common skill of procrastinating. Especially on our stories that we should be writing.
  • RoRo Rafael comes from her genius mind.
  • Our inability to make more than 3 posts on an RP forum.
  • Her inability to inform me that aluminum foil is flammable and if I put it in the microwave, it will set on fire.
  • She is one of the few people who I can have an intellectual, open-minded conversation about all that deep stuff.
  • Her ability to make me fall to my knees with one word: Strangers.
  • Her ability to tolerate my incessant nagging about shows and comics that nobody else cares to hear about for long periods of time.
  • It was through our many YM conversations that things like "CF" came about. "ATM" seems to be a new one.
  • Her ability to make me totally depressed about her original character.
  • Her vicious art skills that make me quite jealous of her because of how insane they are.
  • She likes a certain [almost] middle-aged actor. I think I got her into him.
  • One of her nicknames is Kitty. Which makes me envy her sometimes because I'm jealous of anyone with something in common with my favorite characters that I don't have in common with.
  • Which means, she has a legitimate excuse to use Shadowcat as a codename.
  • We have a common love for redheads.
  • Her inability to pay attention to TV shows or movies I want to show her.
  • But atleast she actually tries to watch them. =)
  • She's the only one who likes the same type of music as me, and I can tolerate whatever music she sends to me.
  • Her ability to compete for thermal dominance with the sun.
  • Her insane lacrosse skills.
  • Her ability to tolerate my tendency to interrupt people in the middle of what they're saying.
  • Her ability to tolerate my galaxy-sized ego.
  • Her ability to not show her annoyance at my geeky references.
  • Water pickle.
So yeah, I'll miss you next year, Kat. You left a lot of fun memories and may there be more. =)
(Oh, and here's Kat's POST.)

On a completely unrelated note: My new favorite insult is, "You frakkin toaster!" or "You frakkin Cylon!"
