A picture of a lolita friend

Me with Catherine! <3 (From Mcduffblog)
I learned to know Catherine because she send me a message on the, now dead, Dutch lolita forum, whether I went to the Fly away fashion party too, as a lolita from Almere. I said yes. When I attended the tea party, I talked with everyone except Catherine. I expected her to talk to me because she had sent me a message and she didn't. It was probably irrational of me because there was no way of her recognizing me (or was there? I can't remember sending her a photo), but I saw her as a stuck-up bitch and decided not to talk to her either. Untill she happened to be in the Fly Away shop by coincidence too and we talked. I realized she came over as a nice girl, more shy than stuck-up. Because she and Rowan, another lolita from Almere, needed to go the same way my mother drove them home, too. It was close and enjoyable, the tree of us chatted the whole way home. Later, Catherine invited me to Rowans tea party and I also met the other lolitas from Almere, who were super nice too. I am still grateful that Catherine made me get to know my local lolita community. Not only that, but one day I was bullied - almost harassed at Behind the Bows. They were calling me a psycho bitch and stuff and said they were goinng to inform my local lolita community and persuate them to never contact me again! I send Catherine a mail that I wanted her to know the Behind the bows argument before she heard it from someone else, and that I understood it when she never wanted to see me again. But Catherine called me and said it wasn't the case. I was in tears because I didn't want to lose Catherine and my local lolita community, they mean a lot to me! Fortunately Catherine chosed my side instead of that of the mean bitches. I am still thankful for her trust in me! I may be a few years older than Catherine, but I hope that we stay friends and that I get to attend every meeting she organizes in the future. Right now I'm saving up for her meet in Amsterdam , I think it will be so much fun! Thank you for being my lolita friend, Catherine <3
