Buddy. (First post in a while)*Column-style*

Today, I’d like to write about a friend of mine, who I’ve taken for granted recently.
Someone who, for a good amount of months, I wasn’t talking to.

Let’s call this person, Buddy.
Now, Buddy, is in fact (Bear with me on this) a girl. Now that we have an understanding:

Buddy is like any teenage girl, except she masters a small army of birds, co-headed by two maniacal poodles named Suzie and Coco. Of course, these are their code-names.
Their real names are Dr. General “Suzie” Bloodletter P.H.D. (in old) and Lieutenant-General “Coco” Evil-Loud-Bark.

Sweet dogs.

As I sit here —overheating in the summer air, inside, where it’s SUPPOSED to be air-conditioned— I can’t think of anything else to write about the poodles. So I’ll just get into it about Buddy.

Buddy is a musician. Yes, musician. She writes and performs her OWN songs, which are generally really good. She plays actual shows and records with other local artists who are “actual musicians” themselves.

Well anyway, Buddy and I got into a spat about something stupid, and, of course, I’ll admit, I was sort of the… wrong… one…

After months of me being wrong, I finally decided to apologize and grovel for forgiveness—as my nature urges me.

I sent her a Facebook message (Meaning I beg, apologize some more and beg again.) and she, eventually, sends back “Sure. I’ve got no problems with you.”

*Queue confused look and question-mark breeding ground above my noggin*

So I added her back on Facebook. A half-hour goes by and I –trying not to be awkward— finally work up the courage to try to talk to her.

The conversation goes as follows:

“Me: So what have you been up to?

Buddy: Recording. And I actually have to go clean the bathtub right now. So I’ll talk to you later!

Me: Haha alright then! See ya!”

All-in-all I think it was a success.

I strongly urge you to go to www.myspace.com/wonderwonderful and listen to the songs posted.
Or bees will infest your ears and have wild, late-night bee parties that you're not invited to.
