The other day, I was talking to Neil on the phone as he walked back from something, and I was freaking out about boards and third year and the possibility of me dying from food poisoning.
He surprisingly didn't hang up until all my hypochondriac fears were gone, and I was back on track with the studying.
So then I decided to call him back.
Neil
Hello?
Me
Sorry to call back! I just wanted to let you know that I think you are an amazing friend.
Neil
[weird noise]
Okay! Go ahead!
Me
...
Neil
Hello? Michi? Go ahead!
Me
Um, I think you are a great friend? Do you seriously want me to elaborate and come up with reasons for why you're a great friend?!
Neil
Wait, what?
Hello?
Me
Sorry to call back! I just wanted to let you know that I think you are an amazing friend.
Neil
[weird noise]
Okay! Go ahead!
Me
...
Neil
Hello? Michi? Go ahead!
Me
Um, I think you are a great friend? Do you seriously want me to elaborate and come up with reasons for why you're a great friend?!
Neil
Wait, what?
Turns out that a motorist had driven by at the beginning of our conversation, so he really had no idea what I had said. And thinking that I needed to vent about something (per usual), he responded in kind.
So yeah, we laughed a lot at that.
And then I realized I had already written up reasons for his birthday two years back!
(click to enlarge)Oh Neil. You are a good friend. Hard of hearing, yes, but a good friend nevertheless.

Yes, I deliberately censored the image. Wouldn't want anyone to be Google-able during interview season, now would we?
