Hi Kelsey,
I hope you and yours had a great Christmas/New Year. I have a friend that is a model. HE is very annoying. Although, I have never heard him complain about being too fat or having a "bad hair day". (Kelsey Harris 2006) My model friend has been quite sucessful. He measures this in how much he HAS. Example: His cars, house, collector guitars; I must add he can't play a lick and is not a famous race car driver. Nor is he a famous architect. He is a good person and friend at that. I do find it comedic to tease him and mess up his hair when he's around. I also have to add he has earned what he has acheived. But it's funny when you see your friend in a fashon magazine at the doctor's office. Especially when he lives a block over.

:) xmas and new years were good, despite some culture shock on my part. i was pretty frustrated with the people i was with, but you know - your well grounded wisdom is oh-so right; despite some philosophical disagreements (i'm afraid i'm never really going to worry about my hair or weight - unless I'm unhealthy, which is something different altogether) this woman is my friend, and i'm happy to know her.

and Happy New Years/Xmas to you, too! How were your holidays? I'm sorry I didn't ask sooner - I hope everything is wonderful with you and yours. :)
