A tribute to… Sarah Bliss Snyder, whom I like to call “Sarah Lee.”
1. Passionate! We don't see eye to eye on everything politically, but I totally respect the fact that she’s not apathetic and that she acts on what she believes.
2. We both fell for our best friend, Josh, and bonded over our mutual love of him and our petty dislike of the girls who flirted with him and the girls he chose over us. (Not great, I know, but true.)
3. Fashionable and a girly-girl who likes to shop and dress up and wear makeup and such! So we always had that in common! :)
4. We love to watch and sing along to fun musicals, especially The Sound of Music and the Bonjour song from Beauty and the Beast. She also loved the dramatic songs in Chicago and Moulin Rouge!
5. Eloquent and intelligent; speaks with poise and passion, and she's always a good person to have on your side during a debate!
6. I stayed over at her house several times, and we would listen to Jewel and Coldplay and Bright Eyes in her room, talking about our deepest feelings and how depressing it was getting... and laughing at the cluelessness of men.
7. She is fabulous and funny and deep and mysterious.
8. She loves and appreciates culture… poetry, art, plays, books, photography, fancy foods, etc. I love her passion; she and Holly are pretty similar there!
9. We spent a great deal of our time together being stupidly angry or sad over a guy who didn't really care about us, but still, it was nice to have each other through that mess. lol
10. Loyal. She was the only one, and I do mean the only one, who was still my friend after the letter. And that cost her some friendships too.
11. We have a lot of inside jokes and memories that I'm not really willing to put online.
12. Memory: ORU wouldn’t let me stay in the dorm when I visited her, so we got a room at the Hilton across the street and the whole ORU crew came over and we had a blast!
13. She has worked for the past few years as a nanny in Boston and San Francisco, and really loves it!
14. Has a cute Boxer dog named Sadie… she’d always get so excited when I came over and almost knock me down jumping on me!
15. We’re not as close as we used to be these days, but she definitely “has no malice or ill will towards me.” ;)

16. She introduced me to Legends Restaurant in Norman… really good and we always had fun there!
17. We went to see Mama Mia together, and I remember laughing hysterically at the ridiculousness of Meryl Streep jumping off the bed! (And at the High School Musical 3 preview!) lol
18. We roomed together on the Boston trip and had a blast with “the Fab 5” (me, SS, Josh, Zana, and Evan). We both highly prefer heels to tennis shoes and were so happy when the dress-up nights came around!
19. We were the only ones who knew all the songs by heart in the Sound of Music Sing-Along at Boston Pops. So much fun!!
20. She loves to read and is a huge fan of Harry Potter (as are the kids she currently nannies for, so it worked out well!)
21. She loves to cook and has become a pretty great chef whilst being a nanny. Impressive to me!

22. Her saying "I bet Bethaniiiii can't paint" and "She's gonna be livin' some regrets if she keeps this up" still makes me laugh whenever I think about it!
23. We generally liked and disliked the same people, and we had one of those friendships where you can just look at the other person and know exactly what they’re thinking. lol

24. We got to know each other through IM and email and Xanga before we ever actually met in person!
25. Looking back through our old emails to each other is genuinely funny now… we were drama queens, I must admit, but overall, I’m glad we felt things deeply!
