elephant cookies

I finally got my sugar cookies that my friend D baked for me over thanksgiving break. Since I didn't go home she had to send them through one of our mutual friends, IV. Interesting story about me and IV. He was the first guy that ever spoke to me when I moved back to my home town during the second grade, he was born two days after me, and his dad went to school with my mom, which only made it possible for us to become best firends.

I have a lot of great memories that we've shared together from trading baseball cards while everyone else played during recess to having sleepovers and talking about random things. Yet somewhere between middle and high school we kinda lost touch. This always nagged at me in the back of my mind because our schedules were largely the same through out the school years. But either way we grew up and made new friends until senior year when we reconnected.

It was in our AP Language class that we came back in contact with each other. It was a class of twelve people and most of the usual suspects decided not to take the class and I didn't even have K so I was basically by myself. Of the twelve students I can say atleast half of them had some type of ill feelings about me, mainly through their relationships with this one guy that has hated me since the second grade. So after the first week for lack of a better word I alligned myself with the other "outcast" in the class, lets call her Lush, because some of my favorite conversations with her happened when she was drunk. Me and Lush never had any type of friendship before this class, she was someone I would say I highly disliked, but we quickly became best friends and we still talk to this day.

So being in this toxic situation I adapted and came out on top. It was the first time in high school I made an A in a language class, had my bestfriend IV at my side again (which is why I'm here at UGA), and I have countless unforgetable conversations and experiences that I share with Lush.

But back to the cookies, and I'm sorry I got sidetracked. D isn't the brightest crayon in the crayola box, but a lot of people don't give her credit and these cookies are an example of this. If you know D, then you know she strongly opposed the election of Obama, and truly believes that some redneck is going to assasinate him before inauguration day. So when I saw that the cookies were in the shape of an elephant I busted out laughing, while IV and everyine else at the bus stop just stared.

I guess I can give her props since she did make them purple and not red.
