Reading all those things about you, I only have one thing to say. I love you.
I'm curious to know what character I am. Would you tell me?
I love these things about you! The second hand smoke addiction is hilarious.
I don't like swimming, either.
I would like to know what character I am. It may hurt my feelings, but I think I want to know how I appear to others.
I'm worried that you haven't had the chicken pox.
I'm jealous that you worked in the Walmart photo lab. I think that is a job I would really enjoy.
And I never skipped class in high school, either!
I loved learning these things about you!
I didn't know ALL these things- but I knew a lot. One summer I went indoor rock climbing with MY sister almost every day TOO!!! I have seen the Northern Lights... that's a good one.
I also (still) love second hand smoke, especially right after the cigarette is lit. In fact, I was playing a triple header (softball) one night and was starving by the end. Someone over the fence lit up and smelling it took away my hunger for about an inning.
I know you so much better now! :)
I remember you telling me about that first date with the car accident and blizzards all over everyone and the car.
I remember coming to visit you at the Walmart photo lab.
I never knew you haven't had the chicken pox.
I still have a paper sunflower in my journal from when you covered my room in them to cheer me up one day. Do you remember that?
Anyway-you will always be an awesome person.
Fun to learn those things about you! And it's funny, like Katrina and Mindy, I wonder what character I am.
I never wanted to serve a mission either. And my imagination is pretty active, too, like yours seems to be, although I seem to find less and less time to daydream.
Some surprises in here.
Hmmm . . .
