Why I like Hayley G Hoover so much

I’ve recently discovered why I like Hayley G Hoover so much.

I mean, she is awesome and wonderful and Hayley, but I’ve found something more than that.

Both her looks and personality remind me greatly of my friend Taylor.

Yes, the one that I went to camp with. She kind of taught me to swim, and shared my obsession with Metro Station.*

So, I’ve been reading through these old emails from her, and realized that I haven’t even made contact with her since December of 2009. This was my last email from her:


Hi Jessica!
How have you been? Did you get snow? We did!
I got all A's in the first marking period. it was my frist time ever and I was really happy!
It's almost Christmas! Yay!

So how are your books coming along? Did you win the Umm, book competition thing you said you wanted to enter? How tall are you? I'm 5 fett 5 inches but you're probally taller like always. Corey was like 4 feet tall compared to us!

We haven't talked in awhile and my spelling is still crapy so if something is spelled wrong I'm sorry.
-Taylor


I love how she apologizes for her poor spelling, because you know that I would’ve pointed it out.
Reading through the old emails have made me cry. Not because I’m sad; because I miss talking to her. We used to talk about the most random things. I remember that we would always be in a competition to see who was taller, but I would almost always win. I remember when she first got braces. I remember talking about mustard** and having races in the pool, which were totally not fair because, hello, I couldn’t swim. I remember experiencing all of these things with her… From Jazzercise to the Bloody Mary myth, we went through it all during those summers.

I miss her. So much.

A classic convo between us that I found in my email…

Taylor: Do you do any sports?
Me: Nope. I iz lazy :)
Taylor: I iz laz-eier than you!
Me: Oh really!?!
Taylor: REALLY!

Sadface. To reconnect, I am sending her this blog post.

“Tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't say. Tonight I'm writing you a million miles away. Tonight is all about ‘We miss you.’ And I can't forget your style or your cynicism, somehow it was like you were the first to listen to everything we said.” Homesick at Space Camp, Fall Out Boy

*Funny thing, as shown in an email from her on June 11, 2009, we both gave up on Metro Station and turned to Fall Out Boy at the same time. Without even contacting each other. :)
**She loved it, I never tried it. Still haven’t.
