All Kinds of Amazing: Happy Birthday Keira

By Miss604

In August of 2006 John and I walked into an apartment building for an event. We spotted a blond girl in the lobby that I suspected we were supposed to “check in” with but we just avoided entirely by bee-lining it to the elevators. A few months later that same blond girl walked into our lives once again but it was hard to ignore her.

This time she came bearing chocolate ganache torte surrounded by ladyfingers accompanied with a raspberry coolie that she made from scratch. I knew this must be someone special.

It wasn’t until almost a year after I first ran into Keira that we actually started to hang out. She likes long walks in the park, I like long walks in the park. She likes taking puppies to the beach and running around in a bikini, I like taking puppies to the beach and running around in a bikini. She likes taking a plethora of photos of herself and well, I just think that’s totally narcissistic, honestly.

Me, Keira

Okay, I’m kidding, but you may be able to see a pattern here. I’m pretty glad that we’ve become friends and that we can be brutally honest with each other while also being supportive - especially after too much red wine.

I take great shots of this girl - thanks to Duane for the camera usage

Aside from being truly humble, Keira’s got a big heart, imaginative spirit, and such enthusiasm about even the simplest of delights. She cares about others unconditionally and will not hesitate to agree with you if you just want to “skip dinner and have ice cream instead.” She’s a beautiful and genuine friend, daughter, sister, and table dancer and I wish her the best of birthdays. So on this “rockstar” birthday, Keira I truly hope you realize that I think you are all kinds of amazing.

   Is this where I start to cry? I am very lucky indeed to have met you, Becky. I can’t wait for more amazing times together in the future and, of course, a plethora of narcissistic pictures to document us along the way…

   Happy birthday wishes from the eastern side of the Atlantic. Another cup of Glühwein will be tipped (slightly) westwards in the general celebration of the presence of friends.

    I’m going to be superficial and say that I’m totally jealous of Keira’s legs!!!

    I’m late…as usual…Happy Birthday. My only question is, are you the REAL Keira, or the MySpace virtual version?? One never knows, these days.
