Leave a comment with your name if you want to know what I really think of you, and I’ll reply and tell you. No lies, all honesty (or whatever came to mind at the time...)
Post it in your journal after I do yours so I can see the reverse
(This could end badly... so think before you ask....)
In other news, my dissertation is now in properly and yesterday was the one year and counting mark for my wedding \o/ Went to Frankie and Benny's which was fairly standard execpt for the puddings which are fantastic and teh real reason to go... :D
My aunt from Yorkshire said she'd make my dress and Amy (one of my bridesmaids) is excited about her role. See piccies of the weekend on mum's website.
Work not bad tho I got taxed nearly £60 - need to yell at Agency then inland revenue I thinks.
*potters off*

You're fun to be with and can be easy to talk to (though when you aren't it's more me and my concience pricking than you). FOr your family and close friends, and especially for foo (because as your husband I think he comes in a category all of his own) you'd do anything you could to help and support them, even when it means being seemingly tough with them. With almost anyone you seem to gauge what is in their best interests and in that spirit you show them where the line should be and sometimes how to get back there.
You try to live as a Christian and TBH you set the best example of it in the way that you live your life. Yes you're Christian but you don't force it on people though anyone who talks to you about the subject of your faith knows that it is a huge part of you and you're willing to talk about it to anyone who approaches you wanting to know more. Your attitide as a Christian impresses a lot of people (even non Christians) and in doing so you do your faith and yourself a lot of good.
You can be a shrewd judge of character and situations, but I think sometimes you find it difficult to adjust a view if it's become deeply ingraned.
You have faults too but the only one that I think bothers me usually is your stubborness, however I know I'm as guilty of that one and shall say no more ;)
In three words I'd describe you as caring, wise and Christian.
I know some of that is wrong and feel free to correct me, but it's how you come accross to me.

You also need to realise that many of the things you do can be interpreted as hypocritical and that your actions have far reaching consequences and think through your actions and words accordingly.
Having said that I know you can be funny and generous, you just need to make sure you are not generous to a point where you are broke again or funny at someone else's expense.
I know from your replies that you are not unaware of your faults and are working on them and I wish you luck in that.

Date: Sat, Sep. 4th, 2004 10:42 pm (UTC)You need to trust more in yourself and your judgement and I think learn to stay calm when you would sometimes get upset, though I know this isn't easy - I can be as bad about that as you.
You're pretty and confident and whenyou work...well I wish I was you in being able to knuckle down. You're also very kind - I will never forget you coming to visit me when I was ill last year (though I'm afraid I wasn't very sociable at the time :))
You are a loyal and true friend and I hope that you eventually find the sort of Job your are looking for :)

If i had a criticism it would be that you let other people take advantage of your good nature and sometimes this is detrimental to you. Just be careful of that.
Don't go changing :)

Date: Sun, Sep. 5th, 2004 10:26 am (UTC)I thing you're a bright, intelligent, hard working music lover with a heart of gold. You know how to have a good time and a laugh but you also know how to settle down to work and you don't let anything get in the way of what you want. You're friendly and warm and ready to listen...bear in mind all I know of you is based on what I've seen online, so correct me if I'm wrong ;)
I think you're fab and I'm looking forward to finally meeting you IRL :)

You're friendly, yet shy and from what I know of you, I like :)
Maybe you should join choir this year :D

Date: Sun, Sep. 5th, 2004 11:06 pm (UTC)I love you. You are one of the strongest people I have ever known and I don't know how I would have delt with the things that you have been dealing with. You need to know that whatever you decide about Sophia I will not see as wrong. You need to trust your decisions and go with them, because the longer things drag on the more you will get hurt. You are kind and caring and you just get me. I too miss our evenings pretending to watch films and I know what you mean about being scared of meeting up like that again.
Have courage, you're stronger than you think.
*hugs* I'm thinking of you hun. xx

I'm glad you've realised this year is a big one for you and I want to be there to help you with it. My fingers are all crossed for you. Just ask if you need help. Good luck :) *feeds you mocha frappachino*

I think you are strong and loyal to the people that you like. You have a whole side of you that is closed off to anyone but the people that you know well and it's by far the best bit of you, though I love all the bits of you. You are clever and very quick and with me anyway you usually have all the patience of a saint. You look after me when I am ill and I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate that.
You don't suffer fools gladly and have even less patience with them than I do. I think you need to learn to think through how you deal with them more because in some situations they get hurt. I'll also back up what mum said - don't listen to everything I say, I'm very often wrong and Rah is right (backing up what I've said many times)... you should go out with your mates more than you do. I don't want to be the reason you grow apart from them.
Having said that I love you to pieces and back together again and I can't imagine anyone else I'd want to spend the rest of my life with.
I love you.
