she has this laugh, that no matter what i am feeling always makes me laugh... its comes from deep down in her throat, and works its way up... and when she finally does laugh, it comes out as a cackle, her whole mouth opens up, and her face stretches, and her eyes light up, and she smiles, because after she laughs at whatever made her laugh in the first place, she laughs at herself, because her laugh is so goofy...

and no matter what i have to look at her shake my head and smile and most of the time laugh as well. her mood is contagious, or rather her laugh is contagious, and most of the time i dont know if i am laughing at what she was laughing at, or at her laugh. but in any case it is still incredibly funny, and it feels good to laugh.

and i make fun of her constantly, for her "cackle," because that is the only way i can truly describe it, it is a cackle. i tell her she sounds like a witch or a hyena...

but no matter what i love that laugh, because it is soo her. its a laugh that no one could ever take or imitate, it is uniquely her own, and when she laughs you can always tell whether she is really laughing or if she is just being polite... and no matter what, that laugh always makes me smile, even if i really dont want to....

i love my friends, i think they are wonderful...

much love,

katie
