Dear California
Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 10:28PM
Dear California,
Thank you so much for loaning us your Hilary for the past year, it has been a real pleasure.
She’s one of my best friends now, and it is so hard for me to figure out how that happened so fast. I don’t make best friends very fast, you know. That stuff takes years with a person like me. Personally, I think it’s because you have a hippy-dippy love culture going on California, and a few of us in Florida got it all over our clothes while Hilly was here.
Happiness. That’s what Hillary means, and I have never met someone so dedicated to the pursuit of happiness. Make sure, California, she finds it when she gets there because she’s worked for it. She deserves it.
Hilly is our Michael, the reluctant one, the one who pretends she doesn’t belong, but, in the end, the one who belongs most of all. In fact, she defined The Family in so many ways. Vito, Sonny and Tom aren’t much fun without Michael. I mean, they’re still fascinating and awesome, but, let’s face it, they aren’t much of a mafia without Michael around.
California, please do let Hilly know that there will never be another Michael. Not for us, not for me. There can be only one. That's actually from Highlander. Which I enjoyed and was probably filmed in California, so thanks for that, too.
Anyway, California, with your awesome weather, super nice people who are so laid back and with your superhero Austrian governor who is surprisingly Republican, thank you for lending us Hilary for a year. She made Florida so much better when she was here.
Disco Baby, N. and The Dood Kisses,
Faiqa
P.S. Please don’t fall into the ocean. Seriously. I mean it.
Edited: And I spelled her name wrong in the original post. Because I am an awesome friend.

Awww - these have been been so, so sweet!!
Are you Vito or Tom?
Aw. I should only hope someone writes something so lovely about me after I'm dead. Lucky Hilary gets to read while she's alive and young enough to remember it for a good long time.
Thank goodness there were only four of you because these posts are making me sadder and sadder. I'd be hysterical if I lived up there!
Awww, that's sweet.
@Sybil Law, Like Adam would let anyone else who tried to be Vito live to tell the tale. I'm Tom. I find it interesting that you naturally (and correctly) assumed Britt is Sonny. Ha. See, Britt?
@Finn, You should totally move here for a year and then we could do the same thing for you!!
@Faiqa, She's the hothead. All the fire and passion.
:)
Why didn't you ask California for Jennifer Love Hewitt's phone number for me? Bitch.
Awww You guys are making me have something in my eye. Hilly's a lucky gal to have such great friends.
We occasionally send ambassadors out into the world to spread our hippy love and joy. Looking at the list I see that y'all are not due a replacement in the near future. Hope you can survive. In the meantime I am so excited to have someone in this fine state who loves TJ'a and Jimboy's as much as I do. You would probably like Jimboy's. Bet you could get Hilly to ship you some.
Wait a minute...who's Fredo?
I don't know Hilly, but let's hope she can make CA better too. We need all the help we can get these days. Go Hilly!

Awwww Teen Dream, I miss you already. The hardest part about leaving Florida was leaving my friends behind and you are one of the best friends I have for sure. I hope we keep in touch forever and ever, amen.
Thank you for this post. You mean the world to me. Please kiss Disco Baby, N and the Dood for me!
PS - how weird is it that I wrote a letter to California too this morning?
@Faiqa, yeah, yeah, yeah. lol
So funny, I was just thinking this morning about how SO Michael Hilly is because of her reluctance to join. LOL
Is it wrong to hope we can "pull her back in"?
i can't believe i have never seen an episode of the sopranos. although fortunately i don't need to have seen em in order to know that you guys are fantastic. i'm sure you'll miss the lovely ms. hilly, but thankfully she will be happier than we've ever known her back in ca.
so, dear california, take care of hilly. or else...
What a beautiful, sweet post, Faiqa. You all are so lucky to have become a family. :)
Beautiful post. And I'm confident you guys will continue to be a family, no matter how far the distance. (:
awww Faiqa...this is so sweet. :)
California is a big place, but maybe I'll get to meet her!
What an awesome post to a great friend. Hilly and California - together again.
if you want, i can loan you an EARL...
cheap.
