<p>In addition to the many hours of Chinese homework I need to do this weekend, I also still need to finish unpacking and organizing our flat in time for our house guests next week. But what kind of weekend would it be without a <em>little</em> fun? So, I&#8217;ll be attending my friend&#8217;s &#8220;Revenge Of The Nerds&#8221; party tomorrow. I&#8217;ve got to come up with an outfit in 24 hours, which shouldn&#8217;t be too hard since my boyfriend owns a few Star Wars / Star Trek t-shirts as well as a FULL storm trooper outfit. xx</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://rebeccathered.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/0042qte2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-133" title="0042qte2" src="http://rebeccathered.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/0042qte2.jpg?w=490" alt=""   /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">{<a title="via" href="http://nattymichelle.blogspot.com/2009/08/bests.html" target="_blank">via</a>}</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8220;<em>You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with &#8211; Jim Rohn</em>&#8220;</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Merriam-Webster defines a friend as the following</strong>:</p>
<div id="headword">
<h2><sup>1</sup>friend</h2>
<p><em>noun</em> \ˈfrend\</p>
</div>
<h2>Definition of <em>FRIEND</em></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>
<div>1     <em>a </em> <strong>:</strong>  one attached to another by <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/affection">affection</a> or esteem</div>
<div>       <em>b</em>  <strong>:</strong>  <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/acquaintance">acquaintance</a></div>
<div>2     <em>a</em>  <strong>: </strong> one that is not hostile</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>       <em>b</em>  <strong>:</strong>  one that is of the same nation, party, or group</div>
<div>3     <strong>:</strong>  one that <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/favor[2]">favors</a> or promotes something (as a charity)</div>
</div>
<div>4     <strong>:</strong>  a favored companion</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><strong>What Merriam-Webster <em>doesn&#8217;t</em> tell you about (true) friends is</strong>:</div>
<div style="text-align:center;"> </div>
<ul>
<li>
<div style="text-align:center;">These people will sincerely impress you when you&#8217;re not looking. No, seriously. If you <em>really</em> give them the chance, you will be amazed at what you find. Trust me.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div style="text-align:center;">They&#8217;ll unintentionally challenge you to grow bigger than you thought possible. Their differing viewpoints will challenge you to go beyond your borders.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<div style="text-align:center;">They&#8217;ll be there when you need it, not when you want it. Because if you want it, you can probably solve it by yourself. But when you need it, they&#8217;ll just know.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>(&#8230;and the list goes on and on and on&#8230;)</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>To The Point Please&#8230;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">I guess what I&#8217;m trying to say is that my friends are absolutely incredible creatures; each &amp; every one of them. <em>Even</em> the ones that no longer reside on the path that I&#8217;m on&#8230; and that&#8217;s okay, because even though they&#8217;re not present in my life anymore, it doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;re not still present in my heart (with <em>very</em> fond memories). That, coupled with the presence of love in my heart for the friends that <em>do</em> still reside in my life along with the ones that I know are on their way, has enraptured me into such a state of humility, appreciation &amp; bliss that I could quite honestly burst into tears of joy.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">They have all contributed (some with blood, sweat, tears &amp; much frustration) to making me into the person I am today and no amount of thank yous will ever scratch the surface of expressing how blessed I feel to share a friendship with them.</p>
