To commemorate this grand and unique event, I am writing a blog post, as I am sometimes wont to do.
I never know quite how to format these things (Pictures? Traits? Chronological? Like a letter?), but this time I think I'll go with
Marissa Moments
All our lives are made of moments, and these moments are tiny testaments to the all around awesomeness of one Marissa Farmer. (That, and I love alliterations)
Marissa Moments: Grateful
Marissa is always grateful. She is grateful for packages from home. She is grateful for another can of tomato soup. She is grateful for her mission call. She is grateful that she had awesome roommates. Look at that face! It's a priceless Marissa moment.
Marissa Moments: Silly
Ugliest outfit at the DI contest? Straightened hair for a Capitol party? Video calling when we're sitting in different rooms... or sitting next to each other surrounded by an endless cycle of maniacal laughter? She's always game.

Marissa Moments: Fangirl
I REALLY appreciate this side of Marissa. Remember that time we watched the Freya episode of Merlin? and as if that wasn't enough, we decided to catch up on Agents of SHEILD. It was the episode when Simmons jumped out of the plane and Fitz tried to save her... THE FEELS! Do you remember that it was about 3am? Good times. I love sharing pins with you. You went to a midnight book release and stayed EXTRA LONG to get it signed. That's devotion.
Thanks for sticking with me through Merlin, the only one of our roommates to sit with me through every episode... even though some of them ended with screams and your sobbing head in my lap. Now you are watching Doctor Who? I'm so glad someone will finally get all my references.
The rest of you? I'm so, so sorry.

Marissa Moments: The All-knowing
I could always rely on you to quiz me in Psychology and explain things in a different way. And if I was ever in some crazy accident, you know enough about my family and, well, life, to totally be my double and stand-in for awhile. That's a really weird way of saying that you totally rocked at "Alayna Trivia"... it was a little scary, actually. But adorable.
"Friendly" is a word that is, I think, overused and undervalued. You are friendly. Not in the usual way people think of it as, a perky and outgoing bundle of sunshine. You take the time, the effort, and the love to be a true friend. That's a rare gift. You are a friend to the friendless, not just when it's convenient. I know at least a handful of people whose lives at college would have been empty and lonely without the stalwart hand of your friendship. From a bystander's point of view, I can honestly say that you made all the difference.
Hearkening back to the Alayna trivia, I can honestly say you know more about me than any person (other than Eliza). Why? Because you wanted to. You took the time to, not only listen, but to ask and to learn. You are the first person who has ever read my journal... because you were the first person to ask if you could. You were the first person who really wanted to. So maybe you aren't automatically friends with everyone you meet, but the friends you make are devoted, caring, and strong. I'm humbled and grateful to be one of them.

Marissa Moments: Sincere
I always know that you care. I could barely stomach a couple of dates, but you handled three DTR's. I just have to respect you for that. You take the time to say what needs to be said. There is nothing fake about you. You are genuine.You are the same person in every situation, and that person is FANTASTIC. Living in a world gone plastic, baby you're so classic! (It's a cute song. you should look it up.
Marissa Moments: Zombie
Ok, this one is just a laugh. But you DO have your Zombie moments. Though, funnily enough, I've never been around to see one. Keep binge-eating that junk-food and freaking out the roommies. ;)
In summary, Marissa is awesome, today is her birthday, and I hope it will be an awesome one.
