So the answer is yes! This is meant to be creepy and way odd and out there. Because that about sums up our friendship! But it has good purpose, I promise! Even if it is just for the sake of a few laughs. :) Enjoy!
So I'm not quite sure if this is correct... But I'm pretty sure that Rachelle and I officially became friends during cherry season about two years ago! We both got the best job there! We were the pit checkers!! All we had to do was go out every so often and check the cherries to make sure that no pits were coming through the machines. Easy. So we pretty much had some time on our hands. What did we do with all that free time you might wonder? Well other than talking about boys and whatnot, we would draw pictures! It was all fun and no feelings were intended to be hurt, I swear! We started this "Dear Napkin," and would just write funny little quotes or sayings on it. It was surprisingly a huge hit! So we took it the next step further... Rachelle, being the mean girl that she is, decided to start a burn book! Or a burn napkin, if you would. A nice burn book though. I'm not sure how she did it but she ended up quoting the Mean Girls movie and replaced their names with the names of our co-workers. In the best way possible, of course. Again, NO FEELINGS WERE INTENDED TO BE HURT!!!! One night, one of our co-workers (who was not mentioned in the burn book, whatsoever, because he's such a... anyways....) came up to me, not Rachelle, but ME with legit TEARS IN HIS EYES and a mad and confused look on his face. He charged right on up holding that stupid napkin that I wrote everything on and asked, "Why would you write this!? What kind of sick joke are you trying to pull?!" Oh Rachelle, you're such a good friend.... Tell me again why you didn't tell him that those were your words and that it WASN'T just me and why you let me take ALL. THE. BLAME....
I should've known right then and there that, that was just the beginning of our troubles.
In the midst of all that picture drawing and writing whatever, we would occasionally have to work. She was so nice, she would compliment me all the time about how good I smelt. She loved it. She would even sniff me at times! Just a little side note: my poor, little body was trying so hard to keep up with my new diet. It couldn't handle it at times. I was eating nothing but fruits and vegetables all day, every day. Wheat was out of my diet and dairy was on its way out! Lets just say that I was very, very gassy... all the time... There was just no stopping me! It hurt too bad to keep in and so sometimes it just found its way out... Unfortunately, Rachelle was usually around to get a whif of it. She'd say, "Merce you smell so good! Like a clean baby!" I was dying inside to tell her what that smell really was! Lol
Yes, she knows now and still remembers and loves the smell! hahaha Really though!
Rachelle and I have always been fortunate enough to be working the same job, sometimes at the same place...sometimes just down the street! But usually, we're doing the same thing at the same time! We did everything from call centers to cherries, hostessing to being sales associates and tellers too! My absolute most favorite memory of little miss Rachelle is when we were working at Dillard's together.
She was in the juniors department (cause she dresses her age) and I was in the womens department (cause I dress like I'm 60). From where I was stationed I could get a perfect view of her department!
So I called one phone on one side of her department. She was holding a ton of clothes that were easily taller than she was and she ran for that phone! As soon as I heard her say, "Juniors department..." I hung up and called the other line! She ran across the department with all the clothes in hand and hurried to answer the other phone! Same thing, as soon as she answered, I hung up! So I called the first line again! She STILL had the clothes in her hands and ran over to answer the phone! Same thing! And then I did it again! By this time I was absolutely DYING of laughter!! I called the other line one last time when she answered, "*trying to catch her breath* Juniors department, *more deep gasps* this is Rachelle..." Oh gosh I'm so mean to the noobs. So casually I walked over to her when I saw her just minding her own business. She didn't know she was just pranked!!! With this all replaying in my head I just couldn't help but burst out with laughter and tears while trying so hard to stay standing! She looks at me as if I've gotten sick or something then she decides to laugh with me! Then it was even funnier because she didn't know why we were laughing!! So she starts crying from laughter too and tries to ask me (now absolutely rolling around on the floor from inability to stay standing) what we were laughing about! It was so hard to tell her how it was me making her run from each side of the department to the other! But of course I did... And of course we laughed even harder!
Oh man...
Even though she totally didn't stand up for me at cherries... and she grabs my elbow in a way that makes me want to smack her face... and she truly doesn't know how to finish a word... and she's two feet shorter than I... and she says "dun dun" after everything... and she likes the way my farts smell... and she's incredibly gullible... and all she does is facebook stalk everyone... and read blogs... and is white on the inside... I don't know where Payson would be without that girl! Probably non-existant, really. And I don't know where I would be without this chica! Or if I would have any other memories as good as these ones!
Thanks so much Rash for bein you!
Lol
