Sharpies
One thing i remember very clearly about Makenzie was that if she was doing anything school related she would have her ring of sharpies with her.. The key ring sharpies that are about half the length of a real sharpie. She became the girl everyone went to for their sharpie needs. One day i told her i would buy her some more. I went to office depot and that day i ended up buying an entire pack for me and one single highlighter one for her. I never realized how expensive they were. Anyway, we both now had sharpie key rings and we sat together the first day i brought mine to school and compared the colors of our sharpies with each other. Within the next few weeks of school we both became confused. These sharpies pop off the key ring and then you lock them back in. We no longer knew whose were whose and i KNOW Makenzie had a few of mine on her little keyring. I went home and hot glued all of mine to their tops so they wouldn't come off my keyring. This was pretty successful. Makenzie also went home and glued hers after a few more weeks. I remember sitting in Physics beside her and she pulled out her keyring and said" Look katie! I glued all of my sharpies in and they are in so tight you can't pull them out!" She begins trying to separate the tops from the cap. She hands them to me to try and i immediately pull one off. She sits and makes a frowny face while i continue pulling them off demonstrating my strength. After i pulled about 3 off she said "STOP" and took them away. She loved those sharpies though. We used them for everything. When we had our little study groups together for Psychology we would sit in my family room upstairs and take turns using each others sharpies to make our notecards the most colorful. I know for a fact that some of the sharpies on my keyring are hers and some on hers are mine. I miss my sharpie buddy =[
