Megan Strandberg: A Blog Post Just For Her

Where do I even start. This girl is crazy and beautiful and strong and hilarious and a horse-loving barefoot child. And shes been my best friend for 15 years. People usually are like wait what? 15 years? And that's really how long we've known each other. Me, Megan and our other best friend Katie all grew up in the same neighborhood since we were very little, and we've done everything together. Without her and Katie, I wouldn't be the person I am today. 

Megan is hardheaded. I think its weird that she puts barbecue sauce on everything. Like corn and BBQ sauce? I wont lie, its actually quite delicious. Megan is adventurous and brave and a bad-ass. I keep a list of things she's said, and I'd like to relay one of my favorites of those things to you, my readers, now:

At lunch one day, in the midst of high school lunch conversation, Megan Marie remarks the following:
"Could you imagine the cops busting in and breaking up a shrimp fight? I wanna buy some shrimp from the pet store so I can fight them like RAAAAAHHH!" 

First of all. What? 
This is my proof shes crazy but also completely hilarious. She doesn't even mean to be funny, it just happens that way. 

Megan loves animals and I think shes gonna be one of the most incredible vets ever. (I'm really hoping she'll get in the horse birthing business so I can watch a live horse birth.) Megan played volleyball her freshman year and she wasn't half bad. I loved coming to her games and supporting her. Megan introduced me to a lot of really amazing people at Lake Howell High, were I recently graduated (Class of 2014! Go us!) Shes going to be a senior next year at Eustis High school and I am so proud and happy for her. 

I know shes gonna do great things. There's no underestimating Megan because she'll come out of nowhere and exceed your expectations. Shes one of the most unique, likable, and sweet people you'll ever meet. 

Her horse is an beautiful majestic asshole. Renegade will step on your iphone and step on your toes and buck you off of her and take off running with you. She loves pouch applesauce and mints. She will also eat steamed soybeans with sea salt, which I learned the last time I was at megans house. Renegade is a best friend to us. We've painted her hooves and braided her hair. We've put sunglasses on her head and taken selfies with her. We sat on the ground next to her while she eats she watered down sloppy feed because she had a tendency to choke. Fun fact, horses cant throw up, so you need to manually un-choke a horse which involves a lot of work and a hose. She is a huge angry bitch to be completely honest, and we love her so much. I was so happy Megan finally got her horse, her bad bad horse. 

Megan is passionate and thoughtful and imaginative. She makes delicious pancakes and shes very generous. Shes the easiest people to be around. Theres no pressure to be anyone but yourself. You can just sit around and say nothing and enjoy each others company, or be laughing in her Honda and singing along to songs. We took a vacation to the Keys last summer and that was one of the best vacations I've ever been on. And the inside jokes we have, oh my goodness. I can't even go there. 

Megan is my best friend. I love her so much and I can't even say everything I want to say about her because then I'd be writing a novel. Megan is the best friend that is like a body part you need. Not like an eyeball, like a heart or a brain. Or a liver, you cant go on very long without a liver. She never gets tired of hearing my silly dramas over and over again. Shes one of the greatest people in the whole world and I don't know a life without her, and I do not ever want to imagine life without her. 

Love Always, B.
