my good friend tony said the nicest things about us the other day and then a bunch of madpony readers said even nicer things in his comments. and i thank you all, each and every one.

since i'm so bursting at the seams with niceness today, i think i'll write a Very Nice Post about my favorite girl in the world. i'll even throw in a picture of the two of us, since that seems to be a big crowd pleaser these days.

my favorite girl in the whole wide world is lauren amanda last-name-omitted-you-dirty-stalkers. i got lauren in 1987, after much badgering of my parents for a little sister. although we had some rough times in the past fighting over clothes, makeup, all possessions, and our one little computer with dial-up AOL, we have grown to be quite good friends. she's intelligent, she's independent, she looks really cute in those little spandex riding pants, she knows how to apply cream blush just so, she can tell you more about cars than any girl i've ever met, and, if given the chance, she'll make you believe that tupac *really is* still alive. and now, she is teaching me to ride bugsy so that i can have my very own blue ribbon before i head off to law school.

she's fantastic. she's the best. my favorite.

which allows me to overlook some certain overzealous lauren fans on the instant messanger:

MadponyReader: hello. I just wanted to introduce myself. I think your blog is really interesting.
Kristin: hi!
Kristin: thanks!
MadponyReader: is this lauren?
Kristin: nope
MadponyReader: the other one?
Kristin: nice, "kristin"
MadponyReader: i knew that.

(sigh)

i heart madpony readers and tony p,

kristin

lauren's sister :D
