This is where you will find some of my favorite quotes on love and friendship. Friendship is what makes life, well, more livable, and certianly much more intresting, and I treasure each and every one of my friends. You guys are great!

Anyways, on love, I find it funny that some think of it as something for the emotional and weak. Love is very powerful, and very scary. If you have ever had a secert crush, you know what I'm talking about. Love means comming out of your personal armor and willing standing at the mercy of someone else. Great pain can come from love, but so can great joy. If we spend our whole lives liveing in fear, then we will not have lived at all. I think love is worth the pain, as even the stab of rejection is better then never feeling anything at all. I am no expert, I've been rejected and always been "the weird, but friendly girl next door" type, I'm the girl guys go to to get the one they want, it has just never been me. But I have hope, somewhere out there is a guy who may be weird enough to keep up with me ^_~. I live in hope, cause I never want to wonder, what if?

That is my two cents anyway, so now on to the quotes!
