mama raptor...

so...i'd like to dedicate this blog entry to the one person outside of my immediate family that i honestly could not live without.. cortni "mama raptor" crump was born on december 2, 1988. for those of you who know her i know you can say amen to everything i am about to say. for those of you who don't, you should really get to know her; that's all i have to say. because i love to make lists following is a list of why cortni is my best friend, and why i, along with so many, love her so very much :)

• she is a redhead. naturally. and gorgeous at that.


• she has helped me to thoroughly understand what the word creepo means, how to use it appropriatley and how to justly allot creepo points to deserving individuals.


• she is an AMAZING musician.


• her first pet was a rat. as was mine. :)


• she collects tattoos from $.50 machines.


• she is honestly the most Christlike person i have ever met. i have never heard one unkind or negative thing about another person come out of her mouth in all the time i've known her; and everywhere we go she is always going out of her way to help other people and make them feel loved.


• she has played a steinway.. butt naked.


• haikus.


• she has the class of one who wears a mink hat.


• she has introduced the world to the wonders of raptor life...


• she goes for days at a time without showering, as do i, and does not smell or look it..can't say that part for myself though... ;)


• one time she let me put dreads in her hair. they were HOT.


• she loves clouds. i'd never really paid them much attention until we became friends. then every day she would look at the sky and say "look how beautiful those clouds are!" so i started noticing...they really are beautiful...and so unrecognized for their beauty...


• along with the clouds i have never met someone who is so aware of all of the little details of life..who takes the time to soak in the beauty of each piece of nature and experience she comes across.


• she can lay in a lovesac, watching seinfeld and laughing with me for hours on end and not get bored.


• she understands why the thumb is the culprit of the grippy...and why that is so incredibly funny.


• she dictates chord progressions and melodies while we sit at local shows.


• speaking of local shows, she appreciates/loves them. the good ones at least.


• she would wear a knitted hat with ear flaps down to her hips and love every minute of it.


• she couch surfs.


• she loves asians as much, if not more, than i.


• she laughs at those parts in movies that 90% of the world stays silent for.


• love/hate boots.


• she is smart enough to be clever. and she does it well.


• i can call her up, anytime, anywhere, and ask her to do anything...and she will join me with 100% enthusiasm.


• she snake laughs. naturally.


• she has been doing one new thing every single day and recording it since january 1st 2008. and she has been including everyone she can in the the beautiful madness. check out themysteriouspickle.blogspot.com


• you will never find someone with better taste in music.


• i have never seen her yell or lose her temper in any way. ever.


• she is reliable. there has never been a time where i've been in need and she hasn't been there. and i daresay there isn't a person in her life that can't say the same..


• my list could go on forever. but i am off work. :) as you can see... i sure do love this girl. :) :)
