I met my best friend Erin in the fall of 1996. It was an instant friendship that has lasted through long distance and time. We did some pretty ridiculous things when we were first starting hanging out. We just had so much fun together doing the most mundane things. For example, once when we were bored, we headed over to the mall to waste some time. We found ourselves in the dressing room of G and G (which was a slutty store with cheap club gear) trying on skin tight vinyl pants. Neither of us could sit in the atrocious pants because they were so tight but we both marveled at how great our butts looked in them. They looked so good in fact that we started smacking eachother's asses and obnoxiously laughing. We would take turns spinning around and then "SMACK!" the sound of giggling and spanking could be heard throughout the entire store. We were so entertained and did this for so long that eventually a lady who worked the dressing rooms came to check on us. "Is everything all right in there?" a small voice called from behind the closed door. This just made us laugh harder.In the end, Erin actually bought the pants and attempted to wear them to a concert. Which was hilarious because she couldn't sit in them. So, as we all sat and relaxed while we waited for the show to start, she just stood there in her fancy pants. One of our friends had a Korean exchange student for a roommate that came to the concert with us. He was feeling pressure from his family back home to find a wife while in America. He had his sights set on Erin in her tight pants and valiantly stood beside her giving her the eye. It was so funny to watch because she couldn't escape him.
Well, years later Erin met a boy named Matt. He was crazy about her and really put in some time to win her over. She told him this story about the dressing room smack down from years earlier and he drew this awesome cartoon of us in action. The moment has been captured in time forever. He even framed one and gave it to me as a gift as well. It totally worked. He got the girl and best friend approval. They've been married for 5 years.

Coincidentally, my college roommate's name was also Erin. And she was... well, she made Paris Hilton look like a Carmelite nun.
But in any event... nothin' like spending time with a good girlfriend. :)
