"For me, it's that I contributed... That I'm on this planet doing some good and making people happy. That's, to me, the most important thing, that my hour of television is positive and upbeat and an antidote for all the negative stuff going on in life."
- Ellen Degeneres
We all know who she is, and we all have wanted to be sitting in that comfy, white chair adjacent to her while she makes us laugh our pants off. Ellen Degeneres is the silliest, coolest woman I have never met. She highlights the special things going in our world, and the love for her wife Portia inspires us all. How could you not love a soul as happy as hers? If you need a new best friend here are a few reasons why Ellen should be your top choice:
1. She's never not dancing.
Even when Matthew McConaughey is trying to do a serious car commercial, she's jammin' out in the back seat. (I'm right there in the car. You just can't see me cause I'm in the trunk trying to be best friends with her.)
2. She likes to play practical jokes.
Just because she asks you to be on her show doesn't mean you have don't have to pay a price. Watch your back. When I become friends with Ellen, I know we'll be on the practical joke level because how could we not?
3. She has tons of celebrity friends.
You know that one hot guy from that one movie? Yeah, she has him on speed dial. No worries.
4. She stands up for what she believes in.
She not team Edward; she's on a completely different team. Ellen didn't get to just come out to her friends and family. She had to tell the whole world she was gay, and that takes an amazing amount of courage. Keep kicking butt, Ellen!
5. She's Dory.
She plays the cutest animated fish of all time. Dory won the hearts of so many-- including mine.
6. She rocks the pants suit look.
Ellen has the best pants suits anyone has ever seen. Her style will have you walking into work with the swag that Justin Bieber wishes he had.
7. She's always herself no matter what.
Ellen has never been afraid of being awkward, blunt, or just plain hysterical. You always need a friend who encourages you to do the same.
8. She's one of the kindest people you'd ever meet.
Ellen has made kids' dreams come true. She has donated to hundreds of charities, and she has given $10,000 dollars to a woman who picked up a soldier's tab at a restaurant. This woman has done so many random acts of kindness to make this world a better place. Unlike some, she uses her money for the good of the people who love her, and not just only for the fame. I hope you love her just as much as I do!
