This is lovely. I also have a memory for odd things people say and make them into running jokes. She sounds awesome and someone I’d wanna be friends with too.Bumped into a friend who doesn't normally come out. Don't think I've seen her in a year or more. She's got anxiety stuff going on, which she is dealing very well with. But when she does come out, everyone else wants to come and say hello, because she's great. But she chose to hang with me and my other miserable middle-aged mate. It was great.
One thing she does is note funny things other people say, and apparently I once announced "Fuck all that, I want a Fabergé chicken!"
I don't remember saying that, but it sounds like me.
I honestly didn't know that I had any particular importance in her life. She has loads of cool friends, as far as I could tell.
Anyway, good to see her, we both needed a good hug.
