This is a bit of a rant....
Are any of us truly unique? Or are we all social chamillions? I notice in my life and personality, that I resemble those who I am with. If I have been hanging around with certain people for a long period of time I begin to pick up their mannerism, their common phrases, and even the way they move.
For example, when hanging out with my brother last year, I picked up his sayings and his mannerisms. I could hear myself speak and think, yup, that was Cory.
This year I find myself overall self being a odd smattering of a variety of my friends.
While I am generally and off smattering of my friends, I can also morph into a variety of different characters to fit whoever I am with at that moment.
This leaves a girl to wonder, who would I be without outside influences? What am I really like?
This brings me to my final thought. Maybe I wouldn't be anything without all the little influences from my friends, family, and random acquaintances. Maybe they make me who I am. Maybe what makes me unique is the unique combination of people I know.
Now that is unique.
On a different note, I seriously got the best surprise ever the other day. However, my camera is not working so well, so I will have to wait to take some pictures of it! Seriously.... Amazing.... Be excited in anticipation.

even Paul tells us to copy others mannerisms. yet the way you combine them and interpret them is not likely to be the same as anyone else's.
so life is made up of our friends and experiences, right? or maybe genetics and parents, right? yet have you ever noticed that once in awhile there you have an ability or an action or a reaction that you can't explain as coming from anyone else?
Very true about you are what you surround yourself by. You have made good choices. Keep it up.
Kimi,
i always wondered a lot about that too. i like you, and lots of "yous".
Sometimes I think it is a product of us moving so much while we were growing up, but it may be a greater human condition.
Kimi! I've got a great joke for you, ready?
How do you catch a unique rabbit?
