1. Choose 5 people on your myLot friends list and write something about how you feel about each person. *sorry...I change the LJ to myLot friends list. :) Penguinsangel - She is one of the sweetest people with a great heart. So much, that she kept me in mind about a book we discussed in a discussion and sent it to me when she was done with it. Which is sooooo sweet because the library still hasn't received it. Zukepr - She is my best friend...the sister I wish was blood related to have grown up with...and my twin soul that gets everything I say. She is the one that can put up with my crazy ideas...and most likely it crossed her mind too. The only person that can spend hours on the phone with and no mind. The one that understands what I am saying even if I am messing up the words because I have chronic migraines. And the one person that can make me LMAO when I have a migraine or am feeling down. Oh...and such an eloquent way with words...she could describe a piece of poo and make it still sound good! LOL Rsmith512 - One of my best accomplishments. :) She is the one that is so sweet and genuine to the point of making my heart soar with pride. She is a trooper! She is stronger and incredibly sensitive. And just blossoming in so many ways right before my eyes it amazes me! Sksouth - He is one of the males here that I do not think is a dog. LOL He is sweet, strong, sensitive, intelligent, and an all around great guy!!! He is a redneck and pretty dang proud of it and I think that is such a great quality he has! He knows how to problem solve and knows how to listen. And he has a GREAT intuition. Peaceful - Is another great writer that I absolutely love reading his stories. He is able to detail his stories so well, I can truly picture his story in my head! And he also has a huge sensitive side that is very touching. Too much? LOL 2.
