//happy birthday to my magical little pixie friend//

are you eating something right now? i hope you're not eating something right now. you know how good i am at making you laugh so hard you spit out your food. i don't know if this little happy birthday post will you make you laugh that hard, but look, if you're eating something, set it aside for a few minutes please.

now-- do i have your full attention?

good.

i told myself i wasn't going to write something sappy for your birthday (but come on let's face it. i'm the queen of lame sappy stuff) and i didn't want to do a post just like you did for my birthday (although the gifs were quite brilliant ) so here's my weird, possibly funny, likely way too long birthday post for you.

(yo and if this does turn sappy and you cry-- i'm really sorry)

_______________________________________________________________

i've known you for almost 5 years now. isn't that crazy? i think it's crazy. 

the past few years have been filled with a lot of insanity. from switching schools, to walking in bars, to sherlock masks, to many insanity induced webcam sessions, and i'm insanely grateful that i've been able to spend so many fun moments with you. 

(the highlight of this year was the lawnmower conversations imo)

i'm really proud of you and how far you've come and i'm pretty sure i've never said that but i'm saying it now. i've watched you come out of your shell over the past many years and i've watched you chase your passions. i've watched you make amazing art and inspire and touch so many people. i've watched you save lives with what you do. and it makes my little heart swell with so much joy to be able to say that i have a friend like you. 

you usually brush off compliments of being special but seriously-- you're amazing. 

and i guess what i'm really trying to say is that i'm so happy you've never given up and that you've taken it upon yourself to inspire and help others. i don't think you know how much you inspire me. you make me want to climb a fricking mountain, or buy a crappy car and take a long roadtrip across the country; fall in love with the little things in life and cherish every moment. 

i suppose this is a thank you. 

thank you my magical little insanely tall pixie friend. 

i hope you have a wonderful birthday and that you never forget how fricking stellar you are.* 

may your day be blessed with oranges, dictionaries, lawnmowers and all the good music one can play in 24 hours. have fun, but seriously, don't get drunk on science and put a bag on your head okay?**

happy birthday kelsey. i love you. <3

{i realize this in no way was a funny post and i'm cringing why must i only be capable of writing sappy things}
