So now I'll tell you about C and N.
3. C
 |
| Name: C Age: 19 Height: Perfect hugging height Favourite film: "IDK... Harry Potter?" - C Spirit animal: Simba We met: June 2014 |
So one day at the end of my second year of university, just before the summer when I was going to work in a summer camp, N came through to my room for a lazy day watching Gossip Girl (we were trying to finish it before I went away for the summer.) I suddenly got a Facebook notification saying I had a friend request and it was from C, I had no idea who it was and I assumed from her surname she was Irish (fun fact she was from New Zealand)... I accepted her when I saw she had messaged me saying we would be working at camp together. We had some general Facebook chat and I had to delete the Facebook app off of my iPad because all the messages were really disturbing the flow of the Blair Waldorf show. Basically a few weeks and flights later I arrived in good ole Iowa and I was first to arrive to camp which was hella unusual because I tend to live like the little white rabbit from Alice And Wonderland, always late. I awoke from my slumber in the middle of the night to see C and the other Australasian's in the cabin which was a little awks but yolo. The next day C and I were left at camp alone and I'll admit I chose to stay at camp rather than going into town because I wanted to hang with C - I had already chosen her to be my camp BFF (Although I hadn't predicted she would graduate up into full on BFF also!) We explored, we bonded, we connected on an emotional level! We watched Broadchurch together, she taught me the Kiwi way and I taught her the ways of the Scots. Throughout the whole couple of month we were in America we got closer and closer - closer than even I could have thought possible and I live for closeness! We adopted the personas of Thing 1 and Thing 2 and although we hadn't known each other for very long I knew that I was taking this friendship to the grave, if C jumped I jumped! If C was Harry Potter then I wanted to be her invisibility cloak so that I could shelter her from all of the evils of the world! If she was a Pegasus then I wanted to be her wings so I could lift her up into the sky. If I was Blair Waldorf then she was my headband, I'd be nothing without her. Then C came to Edinburgh not once but twice and in those visits we explored the city, we drank more than our fair share of alcohol and we frolicked like I'd never frolicked before.
3 words to describe our friendship: growsera, waffles, llama.
4: N

| Name: N Age: 20 Height: Fun sized Favourite Film: Probs Frozen Spirit Animal: Olaf We Met: Many moons ago on a planet far far away |
So you may be surprised to find that I wasn't always allowed to roam freely, turning tricks and fucking shit up. Once I was confined to a child minder's and I did not appreciate being held like an animal in a zoo, locked behind bars for all to point at and take pictures of and so I spent a lot of time on da streets. It was on the streets that I met N and I just thought she was the coolest girl in school, like 10/10 on a coolness scale - maybe even 11/10! But one day I nearly messed the whole thing up when I was cycling behind her and ,classic G, i was in a world of my own so when she hit her brakes I did not notice and I cycled right into the back of her, she got mad, real mad but then the next day we were best friends so I think we can all learn a lesson here! We spent our childhoods together, spying on the neighbours, rocking the house down in our band - the Sk8er Girls and doing all kinds of cool shit. I thought N had the coolest bed room ever because she had many leather bound books and her room smelled or rich mahogany. As we aged we kind of fell out of touch yet I still considered her my best friend and I dont know if that was a testament to our friendship or if it shows that I was a bit lame and didn't really have any other friends... Anyhow, when I was in 6th year I moved to N's school and we picked up right where we left off studying Mandarin together, slaying dragons and saving damsels in distress. Then plot twists: we went to university together and we lived together and we got drunk together, because we gotta stay
Our friendship in 3 words: pizza, eternity and snuggles.

The moral for part 2 of the story is here comes a lion, Father. Oh yes it's a lion! And there are no ogres in Pretty Woman...
That's all folks (but remember it's not ogre, it's never ogre!)
