The Most Excellent Friendship Quiz

About a year and a half ago, I met my friend Shannon, and the angels sang. She lived one street away from me for over a year, and then she moved to the fine state of Idaho. Thanks to the wonders of technology, we are able to stay in touch. We communicate across no less than four apps - because sometimes you need to video chat... sometimes you need to audio message... sometimes you need to send Donny Osmond memes... and sometimes you need to just text old-school style.

Tomorrow happens to be Shannon's half birthday. I'm not normally aware of half birthdays, but it's Shannon, so I thought, "Wouldn't it be wonderful to celebrate Shannon's half birthday with a friendship quiz?"

That's one thing that's so great about Shannon. I know I can approach her with wild ideas about things like friendship quizzes, and she'll be like, "YASSSS!" So I wrote a quiz about our friendship, which I'm going to post for you today. I don't expect anyone to actually attempt this quiz (but don't let that stop you from taking a stab at it, if it suits your fancy), but I gave a copy of this quiz to Shannon, and she is going to complete it. I will post her responses later this week.

With that, may I present you with...
