This is a direct thanks to Connie (if you're reading this, I wasn't offended by your reply, rather, I felt kind of bad for always saying negative stuff about people, and I think you're wonderful etc etc etc, so here it is.)

I should start out by explaining I'm a pessimist. It's merely my nature, as far as I can remember, I always HAVE been one.

And yet, I always try to give credit when credit is due. (If y'all are getting bored with this, don't feel bad for not reading it, it may not be as interesting to hear the good things about people, but since I'm always being negative on here, it's time I be positive.) When someone is a good, caring person, and I'm grateful for it, I do my best to let them know, as uncomfortable as it is for me to be all, lovey-dovey you're wonderful, all that sort of stuff. It makes me feel kind of silly just constantly hugging people, but I will write this anyway, even though I just, ahh!!! N/M

So this is a little ode to my dear friend Rachel. (Don't anyone else get offended, I love you all, too, I just feel like writing an ode to Rachel right now.)

Rachel is one of my best friends. We've been best friends for about a year. I'm not POSITIVE how it all started, but next thing I know, it's summer, and Rae and I spent many a sunny day together, and then BAM! She's one of my best friends.

Rae is a wonderful, shiny, happy girl! She's really smart, and amazingly beautiful! She has a wonderful sense of style, and she's so cute. I really appreciate our friendship. I feel like I can be totally honest with her, even though all the things I have to be honest about are not hurtful (mostly its: you're so cute! You're so nice! Thank you for helping!). I don't ever feel negatively about her, which is good. Cause sometimes some friends can get a little annoying, or overbearing, but I love and trust my dear Rachel.

Besides, Rachel is always there for me. We've had our big fight, and got through that, and I feel like she is such a wonderfully supportive person. She always listens to me, and I always try to be supportive for her, and listen to her, and we try to help each other as best we can, which sometimes is hard, because there's little that can be done.

But I love my Rachel, and I appreciate her, and am glad she's my friend!

Not to mention she's extremely intelligent, knows what she wants, and even if sometimes she's not sure how to get it, she always pulls through! That's my Rae! You're an inspiration to me, you make me want to be a cheerier person, and I love hanging out with you, because we always have so much fun, and you say the FUNNIEST stuff!!!
