This is what friends are for.

This past week, my roommate and I had an "I love you" war.  This war was part way text and part way conversation as we tried not to talk to each other so we could focus on homework, but the subject got too interesting to discuss through text messages.  This conversation has helped me keep going through the rest of the week, because I know just how much my friends love me.  I thought I'd share.

(E is me, B is my roommate)

B- I love you so much!
E- I love you more.
B- I love you mostest!
E- God loves you mostest.
B- Not more than He loves you. And I still love you most.
E- I love you more than balloons.
B- Wow, but I love you more than stars.
E- Oh dear, that's a lot.
B- I love you more than potatoes.
E- I don't know if I believe that.
B- What, you don't think I could love you more than potatoes?
E- Well, you eat potatoes every day, you don't eat me every day.
B- You've got a point there.  I love eating potatoes more than I love eating you, but I love you more than I love potatoes.
E- ...I love you more than bendy-straws.
B- What, no way. Now that's a lot.

And this is why you have friends! So you can debate who loves the other most, so you can share your love and excitement for random things like bendy straws, and so you know, if you are ever having a bad day, your roommate will remind you that she won't eat you even though she loves you.
