new friends

heres a special post for two new friends who wont shut up until i say something about them in the blog. haha, kidding. but seriously... they wont.
jenna ennis (aka jennis, aka frennis) - one of my best besties who is waaaaay up in nova scotia - hooked me up with her friend fernanda who lives here in cancun. i met "furry" (who is actually a LOT hairier than her nickname implies, believe it or not) and her friend dana (pronounced 'donna'; who pretended to be shy) for lunch.
we (fernanda and i) spent a lot of time talking about our dear friend jenna. mostly about how awesome and hilarious she is, and how amazing her dance moves are. i told her how we actually have a dance move in hawaii called 'the jenna', and demonstrated it for her. some of you know what im talking about. then we spent some time talking about other things. like how hilarious susan (jennas mom) is, and how crazy jenna and katie are when they are together. dana... i apologize. dont be jealous. furry loves you too. and i . . . kinda like you.
we had a lunch of mexican food (obviously), and i explained to them that i try to keep only the coolest friends, so i conducted a friend interview over lunch. what is a friend interview, you may ask? well basically the friend prospect tells me a story about themselves that sufficiently impresses me, so that i am WOWed into a state of admiration or respect that convinces me to keep them around. making me laugh out loud within the first 15 minutes of meeting you or being generally hilarious is a good way to avoid the interview altogether and jump straight to the friendship phase. fernanda didnt do so well with her story, but fortunately for her dana was there, so i gave her a bit more time to think while dana told her story. we watched pirates of the caribbean 17 (with spanish subtitles), had some paletas, watched a traditional mayan dance...
a great day with lotsa laughs, and some good conversations. so i say mahalo to you mis amigas nuevas, and mahalo jennis for the connect. ill see what i can do about getting up to nova scotia (aka, end of the universe) for your wedding in september...

dont walk in front of me, i may not follow.
dont walk behind me, i may not lead.
just walk beside me and be my friend.
