May 14: Rebecca, my best friend for years, the one I just made up with after our 3.5-year separation;

May 15: Kristen, one of my best friends from my teenage years.
And isn't it odd that the birthdays are in clusters? I know birthday and time has something to do with your personality, even though none of those six are anything like the others. I don't think it's controlled by the stars, I think it's just God's love of patterns -- I think he has seasons where he creates a certain kind of spirit... I love thinking about that sort of thing.
What sucks though, is that both Kristen and Rebecca are gifts people, which means that their birthdays have to be a Big Deal giftwise or they feel unloved -- and they are barely a day apart, so money must be spended. Not that I mind that so much, but Kristen is very hard to shop for because she has no obsessions. Rebecca should be easy, because she has quite a few obsessions, but I'm picky... not just any dragon or orca thing will do. And Del's birthday is just a few weeks before that, and since I have a policy of waiting until the last second, well...
I also tend to love Pisces:
