my little sister has a whole coterie of best friends. there's the one who moved to texas, the old one, the best friend from church, the best friend from school, the best friend frm aftercare, the new one, the second-or-third-best one.

she's really a little social butterfly. when i was in fourth grade, i had one. also some i was pretty close to from church, but i wouldn't have called anyone else 'best.' and in fifth grade it was a different one.

one of these friends is the kind of cool person you wish your sister would have as a best friend, provided you don't have to be in the room with her too much. she's both a good influence and a know-it-all. more importantly, her family owns a little horse farm in tennessee, so that's where li-chan is for the weak: pony camp. which is more accurately pony-riding-and-swimming-and-weaving-and-crafts-camp, but it's mostly just lillian and rain and her cousins and some of their friends, so it isn't a real camp-camp. no campfires, no tents, no kumbayah.

i will miss her, possibly, by the end of the week. not yet. right now i'm still grinning to myself. also, she seemed very excited.
