Angie
So I have to say I am very blessed. I have a wonderful WONDERFUL family that is uber supportive but as my family knows, I have often had issues with friends. Issues as in not having reliable friends.
But I have an awesome friend now. Angie is AMAZING. She had been reliable. She is one that drops in from time to time but she calls before hand and then just comes over and yesterday she came over and painted my toenails. It was so much fun just having another girl to talk with and laugh with.
She is easy to talk to and a great friend and I am HUGELY blessed to have met her and be friends with her. I look forward to a lifetime friendship with Angie. :-)

Acheron - sexy sexy sexy
I love this character and even though this is someone standing in for a fictional actor this is the picture I have liked the most of all the pictures I have seen. If you haven't read the books, I HIGHLY recommend them. They are called the Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon.
Go out and get one!!!
