Today is Anna's 30th birthday. I don't know what that might feel like, because I still have my youth, but she's handling it well.
We met at a frat party when we were 18. It went like this:
Hi.
Hi.
Aren't you on my hall?
Yeah, I think so, I'm Melissa.
Hi, I'm Anna.
Hi...
So...
Yeah...
Let's dance.
We do a pretty fantastic nervous-freshman reenactment of that. One day we'll make it into a short film, but use your imagination for now. There's lots of awkward gesturing and my hair's blond.
A girl named Molly invited me to that party. She turned out to be really crazy and kind of trashy, but that night she served her purpose as far as I'm concerned. (I'm probably not the only one at that party whose purpose she served.)
Anna, happy 30th. I love you. Because you're a good person.
