Chicken Parme for dinner. Yep.
Things I admire in an individual:
The ability to stand on your own two feet
The ability to be happy
Intelligence
Actualities
An imagination

Creativity
An academically based sense of humor, as opposed to one always referencing popular culture (A mix is wonderful as well)
Lists, taking a leaf out of your book.
Part of it is the following:

I previously wrote that I enjoy the sentiment that actions speak louder than words. Luck has never been on my side to getting the reaction for my actions, however.

five. breezes.
six. being alone and getting back to being me.
seven. the sentiment that ‘actions speak louder than words.’
