OOOhhh ooooh, my list my list - tho its more about the two of us:
1. She is really the most fabulous, all-together person I know and my life would really really not be the same without her.
2. I hate sharing her - hate it; love the fabulous people I have met because of her but still hate hate sharing her - our time together is so little and sacred
3. She is the gutsiest bravest girl I know for putting complete trust in someone else after dickhead broke her heart, uprooting her whole life to a new scary city and living her life SUCCESSFULLY on her own terms exactly how she wants it.
4. She has always always been there for me - I dont know if I have been there for her or would have the strength to and have always had major guilt about not knowing about dickhead's dickhead behaviour and not being able to stop it.
5. I love how when she gets drunk she argues in circles with no solution forever about the same things everytime.
6. I love how she can hold her drink and totally take care of me (becos I cant *blush*)
7. If she stopped her partying and utilised her talent, she would go amazing places but she may not be rash and I love her for it
8. She is a much worse procrastinator than me which is really something
9. She is very scatter-brained and I love it - though it can annoy the shit out of me at times.
10. We used to watch every fattening mouthful the other person had when we weighed 60kgs at 15 - so there was balanced out weight gain on both sides
11. I love when she goes into her polite socialite delhi mode when we are out and gets us tables and free drinks at bars
12. She is really the only only person in the world who gets me - I can call her and start saying something and she can complete the sentence with no frame of reference
13. I love her to itty-bitty little pieces - alongwith my mother, she is my number one placeholder in my heart.
14. I love our InaneChatter - we do not need any drinks or other people (Except to record it) just us - any time, any place, any situtaion. We drive out respective other halves nuts.
15. She is the most giving person I know.
16. Talking to her is often the best part of my day
17. She is very nice to my cats, though she claims she doesnt like them
18. She will be god mother to my kids (if any)
19. The next guy to hurt her will get broken kneecaps, I promise. Dickhead got away easy.
20. Her stubborness can really irritate me sometimes.
21. She has no concept of time.
22. Waking her up is not a job for the faint hearted
23. She can eat 2 lunches, 3 dinners and still be hungry at 2am - when we cook a dozen eggs and eat a loaf of bread together.
24 - She is a great dancer!!!
love you baba - muuuuuaaaaah!!!
