Once Upon a Time
Today, as I was sitting on the porcelain god peeing and folding my toilet paper (before use), I was reminded of the exact moment I fell in love (platonically speaking) with one of my high school best friends.
We had known each other as children and were reunited at the age of 16 (she was 15). We went out to eat at a fast food restaurant the night we were reacquainted. For the life of me I can't remember which one, I'm thinking Carl's Jr. I remember that we ordered the exact same thing without knowing it until we sat down.
We both fought to talk over each other through the whole meal. There were so many things in common it seemed unreal. We were both in love with Cat Stevens, our favorite movie was Harold and Maude. There were some huge differences too though. She had her nails done professionally on a regular basis. She dressed girlie and had long curly hair. She was a country girl that liked to ride horses. I was a tomboy that liked to skateboard in skirts.
The thing I remember most clearly that night is that at the end of the meal, she folded all of her trash - her hamburger wrapper, french fry holder, that piece of paper that they put on the serving tray - she folded each of these items into little squares before she threw them in the trash. This is what made me love her.
I miss her, she turned evil.

Now I can't look at you because I keep picturing you sitting on the toilet.

Oh let me count the ways. I think I just have really poor judgement in picking female friends.

I think Hitler folded his fast food wrappers.
