Here's to you, Shakey.

I'll be honest. Kelley and I, well, we hate people. When we first started to converse during freshman gym class, we weren't so much "chatting" as "scoping each other out." After a few conversations we both determined that the other was acceptable and the pursuit began. But as we are both just a tad off our rockers, the paranoia began at the same time. We sat together during every gym period but each of us worried that the other harbored a secret hatred. But by some luck we eventually managed to form a fragile bond. She hated gym; I hated gym. She had a semi-crazy father and an absent mother; I had a semi-crazy mother and absent father. We both enjoyed books and cookies. And so a friendship was born between the tall girl with brittle bones who never wore her shoes and the short girl with trust issues who was always shaking.
