*So wake me up when it's all over! When i'm wiser and i'm......*
...
Oh, sorry, didn't see you guys there - me and my singing huh? Why you may ask? I guess you could say it's because i'm still on a complete high from the INCREDIBLE show Avicii put on here in Stockholm last night! Avicii my darling, what a pleasure, I salut you dear child, I really, really do. You know those type of concerts, gigs or performances that you go to and the entire day afterwards you just have the artist or show's songs on repeat? Yeah, well today ladies and gents, that is me!
How are you all, by the way? I hope that the beginning of the, can you believe it, THIRD month of 2014 is treating you swell and that, as you know you should, are making every minute count in this thing we call our lives. This is that time again - what have you done today to make yourself happy? Nothing? Well now's your chance - go do it! I'll meet you back here.
So when I was thinking about what I could write in today's post for you all it didn't actually prove that hard to reach a conclusion, in fact, it came to me very quickly. This morning combined with yesterday afternoon, after speaking to the bestie about her night out on Friday and my Saturday night spent at Avicii combined with our ever-hilarious chat that takes place over iMessage and FaceTime, it hit me...THE BEST FRIEND TAG! This is actually a post I've wanted to do for some time now but has always been pushed to the back of mind for 'oh yeah, another time', well my little cherubs, that time is now! Get excited! You excited? Good, me too!
Oh, and on another note, during my besties' night out on Friday in the big city, some cheeky buggar stole her iPhone 5 - of what is literally the extension of her right hand! I'm not even joking. In the words of my girl, "babe, I literally feel naked!!!"
If you ask me, this post has came at the perfect time, so here goes!
Maddie, Mads, Mad-eye. My darling. My babe. My Mary (hehehe!). I hope this cheers you up, makes you smile, brings a tear to your eye and, well, makes you feel less naked?..
1.) How and when did you meet?
Honestly? God knows! No but for real, we actually met a house party for finishing our first proper set of high school exams, which as i'm sure many of you will remember, at the time seemed like the most terrifying thing to ever grace the planet! Talk about over analysing?.. I can remember I was wearing these pink, almost rosé coloured trousers with a black shirt (don't ask what I was thinking, I was 15 okay? I wasn't!) and somehow I stumbled across a drunken blonde haired chick who i'm now joined to the hip with five years later! Five years babe? Can you believe it? Where has the time gone?
2.) What's your favourite memory together?
This question is honestly just too hard - but I think if I could explain it, I would say that with us, it's more a case of utterly ridiculous moments that actually are not funny to anyone else in the 'outside world' but are simply too hilarious to put a price on for both of us! *insert the 'WELL DONE BABE' moment coming off the bus here* wink wink! This can be anything from something we've both said when we've been drunk, something that has happened and yeah, just generally ridiculous things that would only happen when you put me and this girl in the same room! Once again, i'm sure many of you can relate. It's utterly priceless.
3.) Describe your best friend in one word.
Mad-eye, I think you know what this word is gonna be....timeless! (oh, FYI, this is one of those moments that I don't expect any of you readers to understand, just putting that out there).
4.) What's your best friends dream job?
This is an easy one, a teacher, or should I say more specifically, a primary school one at that! There is honestly no person that I see better suited to a job than you to this one Mads - your mature, professional, approachable, tentative and hardworking nature makes you a dream candidate to kickstart the educational career of the future minds of the world! As I remember you saying to me, "a primary school teacher can be one of the biggest impactors upon a child's life", and I have no doubt that you will come to be that impactor. You're gonna rock that degree of yours and then rock that job afterwards Mrs! Who's gonna be there cheering your name? Moi! You go girl! #gomaddieitsyourbirthday
5.) What is your best friends' favourite makeup brand?
This one is again, super easy. Mads, being the incredibly typical female woman that she is and loving her makeup, has a few favourite brands with regards to the makeup world. Last time I checked they where the following - MAC, Bobbi Brown and Chanel.
6.) What is something that annoys you about your best friend?
Mads and I always pride ourselves on how honest our relationship is with each other and actually, is something I can say i'm very proud of. I, and I know Mads does too, really value honesty, whether it be about an opinion, something that's happened or if something is on your mind - mads and I are always there to listen to each other. With this in mind then, it automatically makes this question very, if I can use the word, 'unawkward' to answer. Mads knows as well as I do that one thing that annoys me about her is her level of indecisiveness - albeit getting better with age! Mads is never good at fast decision making or taking the reins on a situation if we're together, it's me ninety nine per cent of the time. Nevertheless, I secretly love it! Wink wink.
7.) If you could go anywhere in the world together, where would it be and why?
We always speak about travelling together after uni, and have a 'list in our heads' of cities and general destinations that we always say 'oh babe I would love to go there with you!!' to. So I guess you could say just an amazing road trip or backpacking adventure after graduation - hitting the likes of Australia, the USA, Thailand and some European capitals! Sounds legit right? I've definitely got a bad case of the travel bug.
8.) Favourite inside joke?
I never laugh with someone more than with Maddie - but what is the funniest thing about our friendship is like i've previously mentioned - It makes absolutely NO sense to anyone else apart from us. We have numerous voices (yes, voices) and personalities that we switch-up between with each other and just ways of doing things that to us, are simply comical. It's really hard to explain...but yeah. Mads babe, I need a boost! Hehehe.
9.) Who takes longer to get ready in the morning?
Honestly? Me! Oh the irony - this question would probably be Maddie's response to question six. Whenever we have to leave to go somewhere or if we're going out together etc i'm always running at the cows tail (don't know the expression? Look it up!), be it fixing my hair, using the bathroom, plucking the 'last little bit to finish on my eyebrows' or packing something into a bag, i'm always the last one out the door between us! I don't even know how it happens. Being gay is hard work okay? God guys, just let me be...
10.) Favourite season?
For my girl, undoubtedly winter! Mads is forever saying to me that she "has more clothes that are nice for winter than for summer", and how she feels she "can just generally dress nicer in the winter" than for summer - oh and not to mention how, like me, she loves wearing big scarves, boots and jackets. If i'm honest i'm probably the same. As much as I like to pretend to myself that summer is my favourite season (although wearing moccasins with no socks is brill), it secretly is winter - I love my scarves way too much to put them away!
11.) Favourite song?
Anything about a heart-wrenching love story, corny break-up or teenage angst, me and my sassy chick are all over it! Favourite songs would be anything Beyoncé, Taylor Swift or Katy Perry (seen her twice together) related! Too mainstream for y'all? Well there's the door!
12.) Comedy, horror or chick-flick?
Chick-flick, ALWAYS. Mean Girls, enough said.
13.) Favourite movie?
Pretty much the same as above but more specific - Mads and I's favourite film to watch together is without doubt The Holiday, especially at Christmas! It is our yearly tradition and ritual that has yet to be broken - If any of you haven't seen it then I highly recommend you watch it ASAP. It's fantastically heartwarming, gut-wrenchinlgy romantic and downright bloody festive! What's not to love? Oh, and it has a great cast by the way. Always a plus, right?
14.) Do you guys have anything matching?
One of the funniest aspects of my relationship with Maddie is that people think it's just that, a relationship! We are FAR too matching in many ways. Whenever we walk down the street arm in arm, there is truly nothing more convincing than the possibilities of us being married. We've come to accept that it's never really going to change and, to be honest, we love it. Oh, we also have Matching Barbour jackets that never fail to add to that good old 'Mr and Mrs' impression we apparently radiate.
15.) What is something weird that you eat?
With us it's not as much 'weird' things that we eat, but more just obsessions with particular things we like to eat, varying depending on the time of year and occasion we find ourselves in. Needless to say that when the cards are on the table, Mads and I can work our way through numerous cups of tea, accompanied by a pack of Digestive Caramel biscuits to dip in it - how British of us! Jolly good show Governor!
There you go folks, just a few questions and answers to give you an insight into the simply amazing friendship I have with this girl! I hope it brought you as much pleasure and enjoyment reading it as did to me writing.
Mads, I love you. I miss you every day and honestly don't know where i'd be if you were not a part of my life. You bring so many brilliant things to our friendship and we've shared so many amazing moments together. The thought of you not being a part of my life is quite frankly, a terrifying thought. I think it's safe to say we're joined at the hip.
What I love about us most is that despite the distance we've been faced with over the past year, nothing changes. When we're reunited (be it via FaceTime, Skype, phone-call or in real-life), absolutely NOTHING has changed. If you ask me, that's damn pretty special.
I'll leave you with a few quotes that I know you'll just love, seeing as i'm the one to thank for your now equally obsessed quote addiction level! Just like me. Mwahaha.
P.s - the quote with the two finger men about falling? Made me die! What an absolute LOL.
Sending you much love, hugs and kisses as always you sexy mofo!
Mwah! Love you long time guuuuuuurl.
Peace out until next time kiddy-winkles!
