Who you've been closest to, longest.

That's not a family member....hmmm...probably Michelle. She and I have known each other since the 4th grade. We weren't really close until Jr. High but have been pretty close since then. Of course we've had our in's and out's throughout the years but we always manage to stay friends and catch up every once and awhile. A few tid-bits from our friendship:
We are both short, which is always a plus :)
My full name is Alyssa Michelle. Her sisters name is Alissa. It just works.
We used to play store and sell just about everything in our rooms. We even had pretend money and made credit cards. Our store was called "Hurley", named after her dog. It was a very serious business.
We've always gotten along well. No big fights or disagreements.
We have always just somehow understood each other.
I love that even though we're growing up and making our own lives we don't forget about each other. And I dont think we ever will.

Favorite Book

I really like The Giver and A Ring of Endless Light. I like more teen fiction than anything else and growing up it was anything by Roald Dahl. The BFG. Witches. James and the Giant Peach.
I love to read but I am kinda picky. I don't like scary, mystery, too much detail, sci-fi, and I don't like much non-fiction, in general.
Harry Potter was pretty good but I still need to read half of 6 and all of 7. Also, I don't like reading whateveryone else is. That being said I haven't read Twilight and it took me awhile to even start Harry Potter.
Speaking of series...The Big Empty was a pretty good series but just a word of advice...don't start a series unless you are sure the library owns them all. Otherwise, it could cause a lot of anger towards the library and a lot of torture on your part, not knowing what will happen next. Yes, I speak from experience.
