I have awesome friends. *insert shower of sparkly confetti here*
It's true. I have a real knack for cozying up to the smartest, coolest, most engaging people in the room and convincing them to let me hang around. Tonight was Girls' Night Out with a group of ladies I've known since high school, and they are opinionated, intelligent, cheerful, encouraging, interested, grounded, and have terrific senses of humor. We always have fun when we're together, generally spending the better part of the evening talking and sharing experiences. These are good people, some of the best people, and they're mine!
My friends tend to be funny, talented, creative, and involved. They care about others, and do their best to lead, teach, and support. They are some of the world's greatest story- and joke-tellers. They can take it, they can dish it, and they'll love you all the more for it at the end of the evening. My friends are people who make things happen, in their jobs, their families, their creative outlets. They express themselves well, and are always interested in learning something new. They'll be the first to help when help is needed, and are savvy enough to spot a scam before it hits. My friends fight for the ones they love, gleefully recount victories, and commiserate over defeats. My friends have fun, and feel good about themselves in the morning. My friends are people who help you want to be more and better than you are, and have every confidence that you can.
If you're a friend of mine, you belong with this group I've described. Sometimes I think one of my greatest talents is finding the best kinds of friends!
(I feel like this post should probably have a Disney soundtrack. Just choose your favorite "friend" tune and hum along.)

Aww I am so glad we are friends, but you my friend definetely can fall under everything described of your friends...hence why you are so magnetic!
PS. I just watched North and South for the first time about two months ago and I LOVE IT! In fact I would have to say that I love it almost as much as P&P! And might I add that I don't blame your crush on Richard Armitage! Good taste Lady!
Oh my gosh, Thank You for the article :D
And I'm certainly pleased we're friends and that you've introduced me to the joys of "North & South," "Vicar of Dibley" and all things Richard Armitage!
AWWWW We feel the same way about you. So glad you came to GNO last night. What we love the most is that even though we havn't seen you in a while, we picked right back up where we left off. Mak wants to know the name of that book (she forgot it already). We love you and look forward to hearing of all your great adventures! -Mak and Shanna
I wasn't there (sad) but I still think you're one of my best-besties! Wish we were closer...I am seriously considering my trip over to see you.
Fun article!
I wish I could come see you before you take off across the pond...
I will have to plan to visit you in London instead.
Ditto what Shanna said! I am certainly so blessed to have such friends, and you all are WAY, WAY, **WAY** cheaper than counseling!
