Assignment #4
There are a boatload of qualities that I desire in a friend. Funny, nice, talkative, energetic, positive, easy to talk to, CHRISTIAN, caring, responsible, respectful, friendly (of course!), honest, humble, etc. There are so many that I can't think of them all but you get the general idea. All of these qualities are important to me because...
Funny- I have to have friends that can laugh and make me laugh. Laughter is a neccesity.
Nice- They can't be mean, their supposed to be your friend!
Talkative- I LOVE to talk! They need to be able to talk back and start conversations. I can't talk to myself
Energetic- I can not stand it when people are negative and are tired and in a bad mood all the time. Energy
is a must
Positive- They have to have a good attitude and outlook. I like to be optimistic and don't like it when
people are negative. It ruins your day and your good mood.
Easy to talk to- This goes hand in hand with talkative. I can't feel like I am talking to a brick wall. It's just
not fun.
CHRISTIAN- Well I LOVE God and it is important to me that I have friends who will pray with me and
help me grow in faith.
Caring- They have to care about me to be my friend.
Responsible- If I let them borrow something I expect to have it back when I ask. When I am meeting them
somewhere or they are coming over I expect them to be there.
Respectful- Your friends should treat you well.
Friendly- Well, you wouldn't be friends with them if they weren't friendly.
Honest- I want them to tell me the truth. Like if I am being annoying I want them to tell me the truth.
Humble- not bragging all the time.
"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends" John 15:13
I think that it is important that you really care about your friends. If you don't care about each other you aren't really friends.
Of course a GLEEK would be a good quality because GLEE is awesome. Something else that goes along with that, RANDOMLY BURSTING INTO SONG, is extremely neccesary.
I am by no means a model of a good friend. I can be a complete jerk. I sometimes get cranky and whine about being tired or bored or whatever. I try to be nice but sometimes I fail. One thing that i'm good at is being honest with my friends. I think that if they are my friends they will like me even if I am honest with them. I am extremely talkative and can get BEYOND annoying. I am very energetic which can also be annoying. I try to be considerate and helpful but of course I fail sometimes. I think that I could definately work on patience and listening. Because I am talkative I sometimes talk way too much and don't listen to what others have to say. I am also very unpatient. I like things to be done fast and the way I want them to be done, in other words I like to be in control. That is definately something I need to work on. I am really bad about that.
I have a lot of friends from other places. One of them is Sophie Tyson. I was Best Friends with her when I lived in England. She is very honest and easy to talk to. I visited her about 2 years ago after not seeing her for 4 or 5 years and we went right back to the way we used to be. We said hi, it was a little awkward, but then we just went up to her room and talked and did each others nails and hair and watched a chick flick and had a BLAST. I attempted to talk in a British accent but she told me not to because I sounded stupid. I thought maybe I could pick it back up again but I guess not. We went on a 22 mile tandum bike ride around a lake and had a fantastic time even though we couldn't walk afterwards. She is just one of those friends that you can get along with really easily no matter where you are. Oh, she is British her father was in the RAF (Royal Air Force) with my dad. They still live in England just a different part.
Yep, that's it. I love all of my friends!
