My best friend, Jesse, wrote me a letter. This is what it said:
Why I really, really like you:
1. Your music
2. You like good books and bad books just like I do.
3. We laugh at our own jokes.
4. You wear glasses.
5. You write and I can tell you write for the intrinsic pleasure of writing because you don't share it with me.
6. You think I'm great.
7. You dance because it's fun, not to look hot or because you have to.
8. We talk.
9. You have a great smile.
10. Even though I wouldn't think we're that alike, we just are.
11. I trust you.
12. You take pictures.
13. You take pictures of me but you don't take pictures of other people.
14. Your clothes
15. Your laugh
16. You think taking a road trip sounds like a good idea
17. You think camping under the stars in Vermont and talking about books and out thoughts and writing sounds like a good idea.
18. You have great taste.
19. No matter who else we're (best) friends with, we are there for each other.
20. When I enter the cafeteria and you're there it makes me smile.
21. Our kissing pact
22. You understand that I suck at making plans.

25. Switch-a-roo
26. You like drawing things and cutting out letters and arts and crafts.
27. You liked "Gibby is the real star of iCarly" on Facebook.

30. I can't think of anyone else I'd rather be best friends with.
31. We have comfortable silences.
32. We communicate with looks.
33. You appreciate and cherish me.

42. I'm stuck with you (and I like it).
