No wonder I like her so much.

When other kids had invisible friends who were like fairies and shit, my invisible friends were a monster and a witch. The witch was the mommy, and her son was the monster, but she didn't want him so she let me have him.

Can't see any of my abandonment issues in there, can you. lol

I actually have two favorite quotes:

The best index to a person's character is a) how he treats people who can't do him any good and b) how he treats people who can't fight back. ~ Abigail Van Buren ~

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within. ~ Elizabeth Kübler-Ross ~

Interesting, Felix, but what was the context of what Twain was talking about?
