Ian Bott Is A Hero, Also Ian Bott Is One Bad Dude (Part 3): Some Of The Best Friend-Meeting Stories

1. One time I was at Leadership Quest and got up and did the Superman dance and got $20. I also met someone that day who I consider one of my biggest inspirations to this day and we were great friends (and we did hang out for a while) for years.
2. I met a bunch of people the fall of 2013 and they were all friends. In the span of that semester and the semesters to follow, they have all become some of my favorite people in the world even though some of the things they do are kind of crazy when we hang out, we are good for each other.
3. I met my roommate in baseball 16 years ago. I was cheering for him right away and we had a solid conversation that night. In the years to follow he has become my best male friend and a probable best-man if I get married.
4. Have I met someone at a coffee shop and then followed them to a different coffee shop with as much as I drink coffee? of course.
5. My best friend besides Scott that's male I met at a New Year's Eve party. For the next several years we have always hung out on New Year's Eve.
6. The best colleagues I have had I have met at professional things, most of them that I were at events where I was at. I didn't know that some of the best things I could've done would've come out of those professional friendships but here I am continuing to change lives- one colleague friendship at a time.
7. One of the coolest exercise instructor friend stories: we met at a graduation party for one of our friends. And we have become BFFLs ever since and she is one of my biggest heroes.
8. What's the weirdest best friend story I have? I met one of my best friends to this day at a basketball game that I was playing against him. Well, not exactly but we saw each other for the first time in 10+ years that day. We first met in a now-defunct school when we were in Kindergarten.
9. Have I made friends at work that I appreciate the time I spend with them? Of course I have.
10. And class- lots of those stories. Over the years even when I have been outside of class with friends for a while, I always seem to reconnect. They are some of the best friends I've ever had to this point I have met in class and I am always cherished to have them.
And all of them say that I'm a hero. and an awesome dude.
