Daniel-san
Whenever I see someone that looks like my brother, Daniel, I instantly like them. It's only later, when I look back, that I realize that I didn't actually know that person very well (and definitely not well enough to feel as fond as them as I do), or even sincerely like them. I just think my brother is cool. So, because I like lists and because I like my brother, I am making a list about why he is so dope.
1. We kind of look alike. Well, we did when I was like six.
2. He is a really good cook (ah, Korean food).
3. He is a master of Office trivia.
4. He is a computer genius.
5. He let me come stay with him one weekend this summer when I was losing my mind.
6. He married Cassie (half his coolness may actually come from her...)
7. He drove me to school for my first day of high school. My mom wasn't there because she was working for a plastic surgeon and they started surgery at 6:00 am or something. I was having a nervous breakdown in the car (a silver '85 Corolla, I believe) so he sang to me "Take It Easy" by the Eagles.
8. He sings a lot. It's not stunning or anything, it's just Dan. He's the reason I find myself defending classic rock from time to time (Scorpions anyone?).
9. We always got along pretty well when we were younger. Kyle and I fought like mad. Dan was always very kind to me. Note: Kyle and I get along beautifully these days.
10. He gives great hugs.
11. He sometimes wrote me when he was on his mission.
12. He gave me my true title, "The Girl."
13. He tells me first about big events. I was the first to know when he got engaged, and when he and Cass found out they were going to have Lena. He tried to call me about Joey, but I didn't answer.
14. He gives good advice, from relationships to cars to computers to life to music.
15. He's smart.
16. He let me steal some of his music when he was home one summer and we were watching the Olympics.
17. I feel like I can just BE when I'm hanging out with him and his family.
18. I don't think I've ever seen him dance. I'm not sure why this makes him cool. Just does.
19. He's a good father to his babies and a good husband to his wife.
20. He's a good big brother.
