Meet the Roomies

Hi again, friends!

Well, since I start every entry with "hi, friends," I'm guessing you know that you're all my friends. But you're not my only friends! I like to think that I have a lot. I have my human friends (Katie and Tall Girl and Short Girl and Redhead Girl and Glasses Boy and Curly-Haired Boy and Blonde Boy and Bearded Boy), but I also have some pretty cool animal friends, too! They live in Katie's dorm room with me, and their personalities are as big as they are! I'd like to introduce all of you, my Blog Friends, to my roommates!

When you and your roomie are twinning! 

Susan: Susan's a unicorn. A giant unicorn. A giant pink, glittery unicorn. And, yes, that does make her as awesome as she sounds. But don't be fooled. Just because she's pink and glittery doesn't mean she wants to be a princess all the time. Susan's really cool because she likes getting dressed up and putting on makeup and running around outside and playing video games. She's not afraid to go on adventures with the rest of us, but she's also really good at keeping us organized--especially when it comes to group activities! As the only girl in the group, we tend to tease her a lot, but she can totally take it! And, trust me, she can give it back, too! Even though she's as spunky as her pink coat, Susan notices every little detail about you, and she remembers everything. If she ever wants to be sassy with you, she knows just the comeback to stop you in your tracks. She's a spitfire with a big heart for her friends and family, but don't cross her. That glittery horn isn't just for looks, you know.

Maxx doesn't usually take nice pictures!

Maxx: Maxx is the Monkey King of Shenanigans. He's 4ft of pure sock monkey silliness--and I wouldn't have it any other way! He always has a joke to tell or a game to play, and he's known for pranking the rest of the roommates. Sometimes it can get frustrating (like when he hides your wallet), but we know it's all in good fun. (And then the rest of us gang up to prank him back!) Maxx loves all things holidays, but his favorites are Halloween and April Fool's Day (which is coming up, so I'm actually pretty nervous!). He's a great friend to have, because he always knows how to cheer you up, and he's not afraid to make fun of himself to make you laugh. He doesn't mind laughing at himself, either, and he never takes life too seriously. (I think that's good for Katie, too, because you know how she gets sometimes!) He's a good balance for Phillip, who tends to be solemn about everything, and he's a great playmate for Susan, who likes fun about as much as anyone.

*looks dramatically off into the distance*

Phillip: Phillip is definitely the calmest of our friend group, and I'm pretty sure he's the reason we still have some of our sanity! He hasn't let his lack of thumbs stop him from doing what he loves! Phillip loves reading and can usually be found with his nose in a book. Sometimes he gets so absorbed in what he's reading that he doesn't realize things are happening around him! He's the perfect friend to talk to, though, especially at nighttime. Right before bed, you can find him sitting in the living room with a book, a cup of tea, and a notebook to write his thoughts in. Phillip doesn't talk much, but he has some of the deepest and most profound thoughts of anyone I've ever met! He loves thinking about things, and I'm pretty sure he's already figured out the meaning of life. (He just has to mull it over a little more before he tells us!) Phillip is by far the most responsible of us, and he sometimes has to rein us back in when our ideas get too wild (get it? Because he's a horse?). We all appreciate him so much, though; we wouldn't be where we are without him!


So, as you can see, my roommates are all pretty different. But they're my best animal friends in the whole world, and I'm pretty sure we could be friends through anything! Do you ever feel that way? That even though you've just met people that you're meant to be friends with them and they're meant to be in your life and you're meant to learn things from each other? Because that's how I feel when I'm with Susan and Maxx and Phillip. I'm starting to sound all mushy like Katie, but I really am glad to have met these guys. They make my good days great and my bad days better. All my friends do.
