FRIEND FILE #1:

Many females, all over the globe, fantasize about meeting "the perfect male".
I confess, i am one of those girls.
Now i haven't found the perfect male... but i've found 3 young men who come pretty darn close!

Introducing: Jack Prebble, Luke Radosavljevic, and Danyall Richard...

Over this past year (although i've known most of them for longer than that) these great guys have grown to become my most adored male pals. We've had many fun times together! The more i learn about them, the more i respect and adore them!

I suppose i'll give a brief spill about each member of the notorious trio:

Jack Prebble
Age: 17
Favourite Colour: Blue
Personal interests: Sports (especially basketball, swimming, camping and outdoor activities), Computing, Laughing and mucking around with mates.
Favourite Quote: "The three essentail ingrediant for happiness are: Something to Do, Someone to Love, Something to Hope For."
Top 5 things look for in a girl:
1. Gorgeous smile – where you can see the smile in her eyes
2. Integrity – strong to what she believes in
3. Sense of humour – laughs at my jokes
4. A friend... someone who confides stuff into.. and wants to talk to you... if shes in trouble or upset your the first person she thinks to tell..
5. Fun! (eg: accepts when she gets thrown in the pool!)

This year, Jack has sort of been my personal, portable oral diary. I could tell him anything, in full confidence, and he would patiently listen - no matter how repetitive, over-dramatic or boring i was. He's also provided me with some astounding "pearls of wisdom" throughout our conversations too, which often either spun my head out, or really smacked me into the right perspective. I always feel right at home with Jack and never feel the presure of needing to entertain in his company, quiet moments are never awkward with Jack. I always value what Jack has to say, especially when it's an observation he's made. I like that Jack is so aware of other people and picks up on 'the little things' about others. He has a unique and easy going attitude towards life, always living life with a smile on his face. And that's probably the one thing that i love most about Jack - he has a big beautiful smile!

Luke Radosavljevic
Age: 16
Favourite Colour: Green
Personal interests: hanging with friends, drawing weapons, playing rugby and gridiron, playing my xbox 360 and doing martial arts

Luke, is what i often refer to as "God's gift to women". Haha. He's one unique guy, to say the least. Luke is what they call: a killer romantic. It's incredible! He thinks up the most romantic ideas... and he's a straight male! The boys a natural, a real life romantic (even better than the movies). This boy knows exactly what he wants, and he's working avidly to achieve his goals and dreams. He has an amazing drive, which is truly sincere, to develop himself into the 'perfect' husband/father. Almost everytime Luke and I have had a 'D&M', we've discussed what a girl wants in a guy and what are the lasting qualities to gain so he can be the very best he can be for his future wife and children. He treats females with such respect. And whoever said "chivalry is dead" clearly never knew/ met Luke!

Danyall Richard
Age: 16
Favourite Colour: Green
Personal interests: Sport, Random/ Crazy Stuff
Favourite Quote: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Top 5 things look for in a girl:
1. Good-Looking
2. Good Personality
3. Same Beliefs (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)
4. Knows how to have fun & can take a joke
5. Will have ‘random moments’ with me

Dan's our gentle giant. Despite his height (he's sooooo tall!), he's a real classic gentleman. I've watched Dan grow and make some really good changes in his life, this year showed a HUGE change in Dan. It's great to see him smiling, participating and really getting the most out of life. It takes alot to make the changes Dan did, and i'm so very proud of him. Dan has been one of those guys who've made me feel like i've done some good in life. I love that our friendship is one where he knows he can call on me whenever he needs me, no matter what the dilemma. What i admire most about Dan is his determined nature. I've never seen anyone commit like Dan does. When he makes up his mind about something, it's set in stone for him and he works darn hard to achieve whatever it is he's set out to do! Its amazing the results he creates. Dan is also gentle. That's always the word i think of when i think of Dan. He has a gentle and loving nature. He's sensative to others, caring, and just such a sweetheart!

So that's my 3 favourite boys.
They've been a real inspiration in my life, each with their unique qualities. Guaranteed, anytime that these boys get together there'll be a) boy-band singing, b) talk of future companions (girls) and c) lots of fun and laughter!

I could go on forever, but i'll just leave it with a quote that i think fits:

"Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings"

[Haha!! C'mon guys, you didn't seriiously think i was gunna stay serious and mushy the WHOLE way through this post did you?? :P]
