1. Katherine - she's my bestest friend in the world and i love her very much. she's always always here 4 me..she means a lot to me and our friendship is valuable to me....more than so many things...
2. razors - if i didnt have a razor to shave my legs with id DIE! lol jk, but i'd be miserable for real.
3. showers -for obvious reasons. also cus its a place where i can think and listen to music and relax w-out being bothered.
4. soccer- it gives me and other peeps bonding time...its fun to be cold and wrapped up in a blanket...and drink hot chocolate and to watch the game and actually understand what's going on
5.music- with out the radio, cds, singers, bands, ect, i dunno what i'd do. i dont think id be the 'hopeless romantic' i am (with hopes and dreams of the 'perfect relationship'). I'd never get to sing in the car, or on the volleyball bus... it soothes me, especially when im mad and i listen to FFH, which helps me change my mood. music is a mjor part of my life, and its something i definately couldn't live with out. i LLLLLOove it.
