Happy Birthday!!
I love how you read my blog! and you are right, I have to cut down on the sweets and the cakes, will do so after my exams. (on the 16th, please be patient :) )
When Mitchell and I went to UCC together, sometimes we'd chat on the phone (ah..the dramas of secondary school and the endless hours chatting with friends...i.e., Oh...you like her? yeah maybe she likes you, maybe you can do this and that and this and that...) I was the forever 'friend of the object of affection' never the object of affection.
Which to this day, I will never understand why. It is seriously damaging to the ego and self esteem.
Okay getting back on track, throughout the years (12 years!) Mitchell and I have grown closer and closer, and I cherish our friendship so much. I would like to say that we motivate and inspire eachother. Sometimes he shares stories with me that will change my outlook on life (Mitchell, the whole "fly on the wall" thing helped me get over my fear of awkward silences!!) and recently he has been my rock to keep me off the NO JERKFACE!! Resolution (going quite well..but i have to admit that i added him back on msn...I think I'm at the 'i can be friends' stage, no?...do i have to delete again?)
We spent new years eve 2000 together, watching this horribly boring movie, what was it called? incognito? incommando? a movie with Samuel L Jackson, and all i remember was that he was wearing jungle army gear.
I will always laugh really hard when I am with Mitchell. He is so funny and so sincere, a great guy. Plus he is a genius.
My earliest memory of Mitchell is ... him singing outloud all the time in class/break/what nots. He is a crooner and a class clown.
I miss hanging out with you. I wish I could be there to celebrate your birthday! I would come over to your office with lunch, or if you were busy I would bring you out for dinner, and we'd do something crazy like...go to an open mic karaoke bar and sing!!
Mitchell, be Happy and content. You work hard and for that you will definitely achieve your dreams. I have no doubt about that.
Rather than fear as a motivator, when you confront obstacles/snags, say your famous phrase...BRING IT!! Take on challenges like you always do.
Happy Birthday Mitchell.
Thank you for being there for me.
