What's your favorite scent?

What you mean like a perfume? Well, I guess I like vanilla… but I also love the smell of the earth after a cleansing rain. The smell of dust and freashly popped popcorn at older theaters. Freshly baked goodies. Etc etc.

I'm bored. Ask me something.

What do you like best about your best friend?

I've several close friends that are my besties. Let's see if I can list them all.

I Love Kelly's tenacity and gumption. If she wants something, she puts her all into making it happen. When she comes to me about an issue, she takes my input seriously. even if she doesn't take my recommendations, I know that she didn't just wave it off without first considering it. Kelly often knows what I'm thinking and my opinion on things before I even vocalize them. Kelly would tell me straight out if I was doing something she disagreed with. Although we dislike it, we can go months without having a chance to talk, but we always pick up from where we've left off. We trust each other.

Dana Is bubbly. She always has a big smile and a funny comeback. I love her witty banter and bright outlook on life. She's one of the most open minded relatives I have. If she likes or dislikes you, you'll know almost right away, because she'll tell you straight up. Although she may be more stubborn than I, she will still "consider" your opinion. We don't agree on everything, but I think we learn from each other.

Amelia has a complete opposite view on life than I do. I learn a lot from her. Although our friendship is quite new compared to others on this list, I trust her implicitly. Never once have I been worried about her repeating something I've told her in confidence. Although my appetite for window shopping might be a little bit bigger than hers, she gets just as excited as I do walking into an antique store.

Cheryl is the serious one. She will take me at my word. She's the one I can take into a bookstore and waste an hour with. Cheryl and I love going on adventures. We'll walk around town, or jump into the car (after playing rock paper scissors on who's driving) and drive somewhere just because that's what we love to do. Cheryl is passionate about things she loves. She will throw herself into whatever she's doing with a gusto that puts others to shame.

I'm bored. Ask me something.

Who, or what, influenced (not necessarily a hero) you the most growing up?

Most influential events of my life (in no order) would be my dad leaving, the short term missionary trips to Mexico, my mom succumbing to reemerging breast cancer, losing the family business right before the economic crash, and getting to be there for my best friend when she had her baby. A lot of those things seem to be unhappy events don't they? It's amazing how many bad things can influence a person to want to be a better person.
