I've told you before about my best friend from childhood, Emotional Courtney. Well, Courtney is about to leave me and move far, far away to a little country called New Zealand. She's all grown up.
This means it's time for me to put some of my favorite conversations with her from the past couple years.
Courtney, reflecting on the night we went to a Miranda Lambert concert in VA Beach during severe weather and tornado warnings.
"There's no way we were going to die in a tornado on the way to, or at a free Miranda Lambert concert on the beach...We're not going out in such a dramatic way."
My immediate thought once she made that statement:
"Have you met yourself? That's EXACTLY how you're gonna go out. Beach tornado, at a free concert."
I mean, seriously, this is the girl who, on that same trip managed to knock my car into neutral while I was driving 75 mph on the highway.
The same girl who, while visiting the Vatican several years ago, managed to fall down the spiral staircase.
While sitting in a plane headed back from Disney World, we hit some crazy turbulence. Courtney, who is rarely afraid of things, tells me to put my iPad away, grabs our beverages, and proclaims:
"This is how we're gonna go out? With drinks on our laps?!"
She's nothing, if not logical. There really is no dignity in ones plane crashing while they're still drinking their free airplane soda.
This is all for now.
I'm gonna miss Emotional Courtney, and the ridiculousness that she brings to my life.
