A Happy Birthday message to Hungary

Join me in wishing Maria (Master) Bates a very very happy 24th birthday. Yes, ladies and gentlemen she has hit her mid-twenties!

Bates is one of my best friends from college. Here is a list of some of the reasons I love Bates:

1. She is always willing to share her bed
2. If you need a friend, she'll be sure to be there
3. She is a very genuine person
4. She is wild and crazy and full of energy
5. She is in med school in Budapest (I miss her, but that is really cool!)
6. Her ass is as hard as a rock!
7. She let's me use her as a job reference (she was my safe ride boss)

Man, that list was terrible....there are so many more reasons that I love Bates, but I can't quite figure out how to put them into words. Anyway, she is wonderful and 24 years old!
