i've been meaning to write this post for a while. i mean it has been a draft in my head for weeks. i think it's a good time to do it ...

reasons i like the people i know ... 

my mom ... she will wake up in the middle of the night when i call her on the house phone to turn off my light if i am scared. she feeds my bunny and cleans his littler box sometimes. she is very through with everything. she can figure out most homework problems. she is funny. she has crazy hair. she will get things for me when i am too lazy to get them myself. she checks books out from the library for me. she takes care of a lot of my grown up business.

my dad ... he always remembers to send me postcards when he travels. he takes my advice sometimes. he always saves half of a good meal for me to eat as leftovers the next day. he fills my car up with gas. he moves all my heavy things for me when i have to move. he likes to laugh at people just like me. he is not a sloppy asian man. 

jennifer ... she is the only one i am not scared to drive with. she knows a lot about animals. she always remembers to buy me rancid shirts. she likes glittery nail polish. she reads a lot. she is extra smart and funny. she once played in a band for a little bit. she is fun to go shopping with and will go with me on quests to find the perfect something or other. she picks really cute things for her house. 

aaron ... he watches t.v. with me. he let me go to movies with him and jen before they were married and never made me feel like i was a nuisance. he is funny. he got me a christmas present even when he was in l.a. and he obviously had input on my christmas presents this year. he didn't let this fat guy pummel me when i slipped in beer at the toadies show. he gave me a king of the hill magnet.

jordan ... he is a good big brother. he texts me funny messages. he picks me up when i can't see something. he takes me to fun places. he puts up with my tantrums. he gets me super awesome prizes for no real reason. he cooks yummy meals. he is tall and looks cool when he plays basketball. he helped me make a basketball jersey for my bunny. he helped me perfect my snickerdoodle cookies. he makes up fun games. 

there are a lot more reasons for everyone but these are the ones that i could remember. 

oh also, i wanted to blog about jordan's grandparents ... i was painting my nails last night and he was saying how he could never imagine his gangan painting her toenails hot pink ... then he realized that his papa did it for her! his papa is a methodist preacher and he paints his wife's toenails!! it is so cute. apparently he gives her a manicure and a pedicure every other weekend and he also cuts and dyes her hair for her once a month! what a guy. i think it is so nice.
