Friend Profile: Stephanie Barone

This is the first edition of my new weekly expose entitled Friend Profile. In this segment I will give a short profile of some of my good friends and share some fun memories that we've shared over the years. For the first edition of Friend Profile I have chosen to go with somebody I've known for quite sometime now. This P.Y.T. is a good friend of mine named Stephanie Barone. Steph and I have been acquaintances since our days at Norton School. I say acquaintances instead of friends because only recently did we actually get over the hump of actually conversing in a civil manner and with some sense of interest in one anothers endeavors. You see back in elementary school, Stephanie had a big crush on yours truly. Despite her strong attraction, I was not very nice to her. It is important to note that even at such a young age I was already developing into the asshole that I am today. I caused her great trauma when I flipped her off on multiple occasions and I often made disparaging remarks to her. Now usually when kids do this is actually a sign that they like the other person, especially if it is a boy doing it to a girl. But for me I must have just enjoyed upsetting her. Despite going to the same middle school and high school, Steph and I grew apart for quite some time. It wasn't until late in Senior Year that we started to forge our strong bond of friendship. Graduation parties and mutual friends brought us together and ever since we've chatted on the reg and hang out frequently. Friendship rating between myself and Steph is currrently: Strong.

A little bit more information about Steph. She goes to Bryant College where she has a group of bubbly friends, some of which have a scary Dave Matthews obsession. She is an extremely outgoing person who often says what she is thinking without using her mental filter, which is very appealing to somebody like me. Another thing we have in common is a strong lack of patience. As I am writing this right now she has twice berated me for not being finished. She enjoys country music and Sex and the City. She works a 40 hour a week boring internship and frequently goes barhopping after long days at the office. She is a very fun person to be around and does not enjoy people who don't like to do things. Her and Lauren St. Jernquist are the bestest of friends, they are quite inseparable. She has a very fun family and a mother who finds me to be quite an astounding person. She likes boys who she vacations with to Australia. And most importantly, she is a loyal fan and supporter of 10-Nine! Overall, Steph is a great all around friend and I highly recomment getting to know her if you do not already. That concludes the first edition of Friend Profile, check back next week for another round of half praise/half subtle jabs towards somebody I'm close to.
