My sister has been my best friend for a long time. My family moved a lot when I was younger, so I had to keep making new friends. When Susan was born, it was like having a built-in best friend. It's easy to make plans with her because all I have to do is walk into her room and ask what she's doing tomorrow.
We see each other all the time, but it's never quite enough. We were only in the same school together for one year--when I was in 5th grade and she was in kindergarten. Last year, Susan started middle school. This meant that she'd get home from school a whole hour and a half after me. I was so bored, and I couldn't think of anything to do. Finally, I joined a lot of clubs at school. That way, I'd have something to do until Susan got home.
Susan and I have a lot of inside jokes. We know more about each other than anyone else. She doesn't know all my secrets, but I'm sure I don't know all of hers.
And, naturally, Susan knows all the good ways to annoy me. Of course, I know good ways to annoy her too. Usually, if I talk too much about boys, she gets annoyed. Heh heh heh.

I bet you never knew life with Susan was so cray-Z! If you're interested, you can read quotes from other people here and here. You can read quotes from my psychology teacher here.
Here is a poem she wrote about me. I think it's great!
Helen
Considerate caring friendly funny
Sister to Susan
Lover of potatoes, martial arts, and boys
Who feels energetic, happy, and frantic
Who needs a publishing deal, a new car, and love
Who fears Chia Pet commericals, a picture of a dust kitten, and shrubbery sculptures
Who gives concern, presents, and love
Who would like to see all A's on her report card, a woman president, and all her friends succeed in life
Resident of Sugar Land, Texas

Now that you've heard what I think about my sister, you can visit her site. She also made a tribute page for me, and you can see that here.
