2. Music: My saviour, my sole friend in time of dire need, be it distress or enjoyment
3. Dancing: My passion!
4. Reading: My fav pas time, I can read anything black and white and color!
5. Blogging: Of late I'm bordering on obsessive compulsive disorder where I'm reading, making drafts and not publishing them. Getting to know what a writers block is all about
6. My Space: VErry possessive about it...I have to be able to do my own thing, i go crazy otherwise
7. Swimming: wish I had the time to do more..gotta teach my kiddo too :)

*asking me to come up with only eight is pure torture

Eight things that attract me to my friends:

1. I'm their sounding board, they come looking to me for advise and they get it. I don't say what they want to hear, tell them what i feel and the rest is up to them.
2. I'm honest and straight forward,
3. I don't whine and don't crib
4. I'm a good friend, they rely on me and know I am always there
5. Fun: Ready to go out at a moments notice, Of course these days a hard what with my kiddo and me in a diff town
6. Not Judgmental: I don't make judgments about my friends decisions, about their way of life. I would not be their friend if our wavelengths didn't match in the first place.
7. Manners: I'm not rude, blunt yes, there is a difference. What you say the way you say makes a lot of difference
8. Humor/Wit
