juliebutt
yesterday i found out my oldest friend julie is coming to visit me.
julie and i have known each other since 5th grade. we still look back and argue over how we met. i maintain that she asked me to be her bathroom buddy (perverse sounding, i know, but there was a sicko at the time raping girls in elementary school bathrooms, and we needed to go with a partner) and the friendship blossomed from there. she has no recollection of this "bathroom buddy" experience.
we spent many a sleepover together, and each family vacation we had, we would bring the other along. i remember probably the worst vacation ever to martha's vineyard when hurricane bob hit. julie bought a t-shirt that said "i survived bob's blow". being 12 or so at the time we didn't really understand the underlying sexual connotations. my parents didn't say anything when she bought it, but who wants to explain that to a 12 year old?
it's been 2 years since we have seen one another, but we still call each other "meisabutt" and "juliebutt" as we did when we first met 13 years ago.
i'll see you soon juliebutt.

hey there meisabutt. it's a good blog, i do like it. :) and true, i don't remember the bathroom incident. but i remember the origination of the butt thing. at some point in elementary school we learned that mesa was the spanish word for table, but in english we use it to refer to a plateau. the kicker came when we found the definition for butte, even though it's pronouced byut. Merriam-Webster defines it as: an isolated hill or mountain with steep or precipitous sides usually having a smaller summit area than a mesa. So a butte is a smaller version of a mesa. :) anyway, that's a lot of rambling for a response to a blog, but meisa, can't wait to see you! i don't know about you, but i've grown at least 7 inches since we met :) love you! see you soon! -juliebutt
