Why?
Because on this very day, 16 years ago, a legend was born.
Her name?
Sophie Duncan.
Who is she?
Sophie is one of the most amazing people I know. She can always make me smile when I'm grumpy, or look on the positive side of things when they're really rubbish. She listens, but will talk to you in equal amounts. She's quiet sometimes, but I swear its just to cover up her amazingness that just overflows sometimes :P
She was the one who changed my sense of humour to the way it is, and the reason I managed to pass maths in year eight. She's the reason I sing in school, and miraculously, the reason I look forward to PE =P.
She always manages to surprise me with something she says or knows. Also, her mad PE skills with Table tennis and air hockey, beaten only by me :P
In fact, I once wrote this about her- (AND ITS STILL TRUE!)
You are quiet but engaging. Loud but not rude. You are my friend. Your mind works in the most amazing ways, you have amazing thoughts. You always look beautiful. You can make me laugh when im at my lowest. You dont judge people because of what other people say. You give chances, you're independant, you're my friend. You're my rock. You are trusted. You are amazing. You're my friend. I love you.
I also said about her two very simple words that sum up a whole section of our friendship....Battlefields baby ;).
Because it was in Belgium, I swear, that our friendship was set in stone. She cant get rid of me now :)
From the coach journeys to goodness knows where, the ferry, the chocolate, the...Interesting conversation ;) and the laughs I had over that weekend...Well. Cant be beaten :P
And the fact I hang out with her nowhere near as much as I'd like to, and yet still love her this much...It says alot :)
So my dear Sophie, your parents must have been freakin amazing to create someone as awesome as you, and I shall be round with that birthday present we were discussing in Chemistry ;)
I love you baby. Happy birthday. xxxx
