Awww, you took a somewhat amusing post and totally turned into a
soul-searching thing. Shame on you.

I think that those of you who know Kari and I, we are pretty laid back
people. I may make fun of her but she is my best-friend and I am happy (most
of the time) that she takes an interest in the same things that I do.

I'm crushed Jesse... you heartless person you. And yes, I know that I am

See, again, you totally killed this humour-wise. She does help me grow as a
person... it's when she does it when it is least appropriate that bug me.
Pet peeve.
