New BFF

Is it weird to meet a new best friend over the phone? I think not.

I met my new friend Rachel this way when I signed up to be a Big Sister through Big Brothers/Big Sisters. She had called me to set up my interview (the one to make sure I'm not completely nuts/pedophile) and our conversation kept venturing off to different things (semi-new to Houston from another state, Twilight obsession etc) and we discovered that we had a lot in common and should totally meet. After Facebook stalking friending her and talking a few times via email (this is sounding a lot like a creepy blind date set up) we met for dinner and yapped each others ears off. She has become one of my new favorite people and she is a huge fan of my blawg, so I felt it only appropriate to give her a shout out!
