I don't trust them but I'm learning to use them

Who is the most important person in your life that people would know about? 

    my best friend from college. She's been with me through good times and bad, from when I was eating green grapes out of a margarine container and checking for split ends during our survey class—and she was getting A's—through the pings and pongs of life.

Who is the most important person in your life that people would not know? 

    Kylie

Tell me why your favorite person is your favorite person. 

    intelligence, curiosity, sense of humor. Darkness and light at once. Wisdom, irreverence, love of music and movies and reading. Depth of character (and shallow silliness, too). Charm, generosity, and playfulness. Gorgeous eyes, fierce wit, and an excessively sharp tongue. Almost reluctant kindness. Fancy dresser who is equally comfortable in sweats and a t-shirt. Great driver, planner, prognosticator, cook, and friend.

What person has had the biggest influence on you thus far? 

    Russ. I learned how to pick myself up and dust myself off, from knowing him.

What person trusts you the most? 

    maybe my dad?

What person do you trust the most? 

    my brother

What person knows you the very best? 

    DG

Of all those who know you well, who do you think is closest to liking you as you are today — giving you unconditional love? 

    today? My temporary houseguest.
