She&#8217;ll watch an entire season of any TV show you want in one sitting, ice cream and snacks in hand. She&#8217;ll also finish an entire tub of hummus and celery sticks with you on her roof over a pitcher of sangria. She&#8217;ll also go to the museum with you, and have something intelligent to say about just about every artist there. And even artists who aren&#8217;t. She&#8217;ll watch Oscar-nominated films, indie films, and bad chick flicks with you, and enjoy them all. She&#8217;ll defend you to the death, cut someone with a shank for you, if she needs to, and makes sure to always say &#8220;please&#8221; and &#8220;thank you&#8221; and &#8220;Is there more coffee?&#8221; She&#8217;s pretty much my fave.
