A Good Friend

I have known my friend Sarah since first grade. Even then she was loud. Now her voice can carry over a crowd as she streaks a comment. She ends up sweeping you up in the excitement of her plans during a conversation. She also loves to talk about everything that has happened to her since she last saw you. Hanging out around her a lot, you end up hearing the same story repeated to each new person she sees. Many times over the past few years I have been forced into listening to the same thing over and over again. "Did I tell you, my phone got ran over by a truck!" she would squeal as soon as I was in earshot. She is and was absolutely obsessed with her phone, but she never manages to keep the same one for more than a few months. Something always happens.

Sarah can definitely be described as an egotist at some times. She refuses to shut up about herself. Her natural volume overwhelms all thoughts of a subject change. She can also listen to your problems if you need help and will try to think of some way to help. Her help is short lived, though. I don't think it is possible for her thoughts to stay on one subject for longer then ten minutes. Her confidence is not easy to miss. She'll not shy away from anything, no matter how daunting. She is easy to hate and even easier to love. I can't imagine not knowing her and being her friend.
