My Sister - A Profile

Nicole grew up the middle child in a wacky family.  Like me, that family helped foster creativity and a love for sarcasm and a sick sense of humor.  Unlike me, she is more reserved and quiet in the public eye.  She takes on a more docile nature, but behind that facade lies a screaming talent.

This girl is a writer, and a damn good one at that.  She's the type of person that can whip a piece (or paper) up in a half hour and have it sound like it could be published on the spot.  The words she writes will work themselves into you brain and your heart.  She is ridiculously intelligent, but not pompous about the fact.  As a creative writing major, she works hard for what she wants.  Nights are spent perusing literature and writing writing writing.  

As if she didn't all ready sound lovable enough, Nicole is the type of person who doesn't know how beautiful she is.  She doesn't seem to be able to acknowledge how talented she is yet, either.  When you work your way into her heart, she gives all of it to you.  As a friend and family member, you couldn't ask for a more dedicated, helpful, and loving person.  Not to mention that this girl will make you laugh.  Whether you need cheering up or not, she has a slew of faces, witticisms, and secret impressions up her sleeve.  

My sister is on her way to a successful and, more importantly, full and happy life.  She deserves nothing less.  She may have driven me nuts for the last 20 years of my life, but she's driven me sane more than enough times to make up for it.  We will compliment one another's personalities until we perish at a ripe old age.  We'll probably tease each other until that point, too.  What's important to me, however, is that we remain we.  

Now, this post wouldn't qualify for this blog without a little music, would it?  Nicole and I consider plenty of songs "ours."  Nicole loves music like I do, and thus we have shared many songs in our lifetime.  I have no idea how the following one became our song.  That's what it's like when you share a life with somebody; there are tons of inside jokes with origins you'll never be able to remember. It's awfully funny to see Nicole and I jamming out to this one.  We scream-sing along and bang our heads like the best of them.  We also frequently greet each other by shouting "OFF TO NEVER-NEVERLAND!"
