Dear readers, I’d like to introduce you to someone very special to me. This is my BEST FRAAAAND, ReAnna.

I’ve known this hottie-boom-a-lottie since 3rd grade. We’re both weird. We both like videogames. Someday we will probably marry each other, but that’s on the DL. Anyway, I’m going to get all sentimental and post a bunch of pictures of us growing up BEFORE I show you one of my favorite geek-a-leek conversations we’ve ever had.








ReAnna and I have a rich history of playing through some of my favorite videogames together. She was my guide girl for Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker, my wing-woman and fellow adventurer in Final Fantasy IX, my favorite person to harvest crops in Harvest Moon with, and we were pansies-in-crime while blasting through zombies in the Resident Evil series. (I could go on and mention the random videogame bloopers we created, our all-day binges with Baldur’s Gate and our all-night binges with Echo Night…but we would be here all day.)
Not only did we game together, we also spent countless hours watching Dragon Ball Z and other anime. We wrote pages upon pages of Final Fantasy IX/Dragon Ball Z crossover fan fiction. And last, but certainly not least, we both fell in love with Nick Carter and wanted his children by the time we were 13.

Unfortunately she currently resides in another state (something I’m desperately trying to amend) but that doesn’t mean we have trouble keeping the spark alive, if you nah’msayin. ;D

I actually do have sword skills.
But are they as epic as Link’s? HMMMMMMMMMM?
I’m scared of what would happen if you were let loose on Alistair with her next to you now…
She hasn’t met Alistair. I will never share him. ;D
Too cute. I also gotta say those pig tails are a great look for you :-)
Pardon the nerding:
OMGWTFBBQ lol
SKills you guys want skills, go Play FFXI Onlne
me and my pals got our skills leveled up
and we have house moogles
PSHAW. You tryin’ to start n3rd be3f?!?!?! BRANG IT!!!
What…? lol no.
You guys looked cute in the pics.
In what form would you like it brung.muwahahaha
Now THAT is a best friend! Some of those things totally remind me of my best friend and me. Like, it’s somewhat common to send each other text messages using only FFXI auto-complete texts. For example, random crap like this:
(Galkan Sausage) (Do you have it?) (Please assist.) (I’m playing solo right now.) lol hahaha ;D
Then, similar to you guys, we will stay up til like 5am every day just playing games and shootin’ the shit, but nothing compares to the conversations between 3-5am. That’s when the real gold starts rolling in, hahaha. His wifey thinks it’s funny that all we do is play video games for a week straight, and she thinks it’s “cute” that we still make time for each other “at our age.” Unfortunately, he also lives out of town, but still in the same state at least. It’s about a 3 hour drive, so we try to just make plans for a week or so, twice a year. Luckily, I get to go stay up there from Christmas until January 2nd, because my employer shuts down that week for holidays!
Anywho, just wanted to share a bit, and ended up typing for a while lol. :)

Aw fun! I enjoyed reading that :) Gaming is definitely a lot more fun when you can spend it with a bestie!!
MY best friend is in another state too! I feel your pain. Also in CA. Why do they all go there?
RIGHT?! Seriously! “Oh, we’re too cool for WA folks (or whoever) so we are going to move our arses to CA! BAAAH!!!”
:`(
Well if you combine my sister and I, then I would have thievery, sword and horse skills. Currently I don’t have enough points in my thievery box. I have lots of points in running, kicking and punching though.
Hmmm. When you get those thievery skills, get back to me.
This is my favorite blog ever, I feel like a Celebritay! The pic from 03 is probably the hottest we have ever looked, and I will go on record as saying I would still totally have Nick Carter’s (or Link’s) kids…and I heart my BFFFFFF more than anything ever! Come to CA and go on more epic quests with me
