"miscellaneous stuff"
qualities i value most in friends:1. sincerity
2. kindness
3. honesty
4. trust/trustworthiness
5. loyalty/commitment
6. maturity (appropriate to that person -- not that i expect my 17-year-old friends to act like they're 30 or anything)
7. openness
8. humility
9. compassion
10. wisdom
11. patience
12. integrity
13. optimism
14. fun and laughter! =)
and i do know that no one is perfect in any or all of these areas -- and i know this of myself more than anyone else! but, these are things that especially draw me to people, and things as well that i desire to be.
... i'm off to study. i love you all!
