I always love learning more about the people whose blogs I read, so I really enjoyed reading these. I particularly like #5---so interesting that you had an imaginary friend named James, then ended up marrying James! I guess you must have been prescient!
ReplyDeleteI also love reading posts like this. Loyalty in a friend is one of the most important traits, I think. And...I'm still watching Buffy re-runs. Your fault, Dew :)
ReplyDeleteAre we the same person? Just kidding but your number 1, 2, 3, 4 and several more are so much like what I would say it's giving me chills!
ReplyDeleteI'm an optimistic pessimist. I love these randoms.
