Meeting Mel

Mel is probably one of the coolest chicks you will ever meet, certainly the coolest person i know. she carries herself with quiet poise and a bit of coolness, so at first you think she doesn't like you.
at least that's what i thought the first month or two we worked together at RAE Corporation. but i got her to laugh at my dumb jokes, so i figured that was a start. once we broke the ice over our mutual annoyance and disgust of a summer coworker, we discovered we actually had a lot in common. we both married pretty young, so we bonded over similar embarassing and funny situations we'd encountered in our marriages, and we were also able to lift eachother up whenever one was going thru a particularly hard time. plus, neither of us really had any close friends, and deep down we both were kinda lonely, so i think that cemented our bond even more. at any rate, we have gotten to the point where at least for me i don't think i could function without her in my every day life, or else i might fall into a deep severe depression. is that healthy? probably not.
