i worship buddha

not the lil' guy wit the big belly, but the buddha who once lived next door, who is barely tall enough for space mountain, and who i sometimes call sister.  she suggested i write a new post (however, she's not one to talk), and since i don't have much else going on right now i thought i would share some memories and photos of my lil sis...buddha.
there is probably no body that i am more myself around than buddha.  i hope that the same is true for her.  if everybody saw the "real" her, she might find it a little easier to keep all the boys away, and a little harder to find friends.  here are a few things about her that only i would know.she loves the smell of her armpit.  i thought i had seen her take abnormally long whiffs, but she would always deny it.  i finally caught her in the act one summer day.  you can just see the guilt and embarrassment in her eyes.
 after sleeping for nearly 27 hours straight, she woke-up to a horrible sight.  her face had actually flattened on the side she had been sleeping on and her eye would no longer open all the way.  we rushed her to the ER where they spent countless hours trying to reconstruct her face.  unfortunately they were unable to restore it completely.  you can still tell the right side of her face is slightly flatter than the left.
when she gets really hungry her mouth opens so wide that she can fit her fist into it.  she can then put so much food in her mouth that she regularly gags or chokes on it.  one time at a restaurant she coughed up a dozen french fries she had lodged in her mouth.  they landed on the table next to us.

i hope you enjoyed learning a little more about buddha.  if you have any other memories or stories about her please feel free to share!

I am laughing so hard right now that I can't breathe! Way to pick all the crappy pictures of me and put them in one magnificent story. I love you sister!

I'd also like to point out that the chocolate cake is my chocolate birthday cake. What a special day.
