		<description>I like this post. I got into a tiff with my best friend of 8 years. We stopped speaking for 4 months over something that just seemed so little and stupid now. She tried to talk to me again but I had kept her at arms length because I was hurt, and betrayed and felt taken for granted. Like  it was easy for my best friend to write me off for months and that in turn made it easy for me to treat her the same. Right? Wrong:(

Well, what do you know almost 2 years later she is the friend that I need most in this world. We have managed to patch up some of the previous issues and become good friends again. But the &quot;space&quot; between us is still there. It&#039;s never going to be how it used to be when my phone would ring first thing on a Saturday morning...okay..noon...I would pick up and there is my bestie. First call of the day!! I miss that.  But I am grateful that we are back to communicating and knowing full well that its a friendship that can survive, evolve and change when needed.

		<description>I&#039;ve definitely been there! It&#039;s hard having a certain confidence in yourself when you just know someone is always on the sidelines, ready to knock you down. 

I guess that&#039;s part of the &quot;coming out on top&quot; and just believing in yourself no matter what others say. Because it&#039;s really the other person&#039;s problem if they are so concerned with other people&#039;s body - and then ultimately, it&#039;s them with the confidence problem.

I mean, even Regina George just wanted to be liked, in the end. ;)</description>

		<description>It&#039;s not easy, especially when you rarely ever see a larger girl on screen, unless she&#039;s playing the token fat chick. 
I&#039;ve also found that with my European upbringing that if I got a bit too confident, a close family member was waiting in the wings to knock me back to humbleville. I feel like nowadays people are so concerned with being seen as arrogant that taking a compliment is next to impossible. 

I&#039;ve tried to employ some confidence boosting mantras lately and now tell myself that if someone hands me a compliment, accept it, embrace it and most importantly believe. Unless, she&#039;s Regina George.</description>

		<description>It looks great even as a work in progress. The floors are stunning, I swear I could see my own reflection - yes, through the computer screen.</description>

		<description>do you still believe in so much anonymity? 
sometimes i feel like i know you and you just don&#039;t want to tell me! ;)

i hope things are going well for you, and i take the lack of posts to mean that as the both of us used to only write while upset. so lack of posting is supposed to be a good thing.  i just recently checked your blog again, actually.  i miss your poetry! ;)</description>

		<description>Hiya!  It&#039;s been ages, but I woke up this morning at around 8 a.m. thinking that I hadn&#039;t blogged in such a long time.  Then I thought of how great it was to read your posts!

Funny, I feel the same way now about posting.  Like there&#039;s nothing terribly interesting to write.  And if I do write, it takes a lot of effort.  I also no longer stay up pouring emotions onto the screen.  Working has definitely turned me into...well...I wouldn&#039;t say a morning person, because I hate getting up...but a must-get-up sort of person.

Anyway, good to visit with your for a bit!</description>

		<description>Going sometime in the summer, likely July. Boy used to live there so he knows the who&#039;s, what&#039;s, where&#039;s of the city. But if you have any suggestions on what to do... send them my way! All I know is that I want to take on the Grouse Grind.</description>
