There is a huge hurricane just a state away, Florida. So of course, Georgia (where I stay) gets every single affect of it. So for the last couple of days, we have been getting these huge thunderstorms. It had been raining non-stop for two days. Finally, it stopped! I just hate summer rains…it’s so humid! Yuck! Good thing, I m lazy and I don’t go out…hehe
But of course, I did go out with my camera and took some pics of the beautiful clouds and a clip of the rain (don’t think u can see the rain though, but you can see how windy it was)

I love Rain! Not summer though!

Who are you inside?

You are a water person. You are flexible and very nice. You are quiet so people who don't know you think you are weird or just mean and high and mighty like. You aren't though. You like to have a good time and you also just like to relax and just enjoy the stars. You like to be alone and that is what you enjoy. You don't like to be around others.

A friend is, by definition, someone you are not related to by either marriage or by birth. Friendship is a noncompulsory relationship not bound by legal ties. Friendship does not include a sexual or romantic relationship; if it does, it has become something other than friendship.

1. The Casual Friend

A casual friend is someone you like and who likes you but the friendship is far from intimate. In contrast to acquaintances or those with whom you merely network, casual friends do know enough about each other that whether at work or in their businesses there is a connection. This is the easiest friendship to maintain because it lacks the emotional connection, or exclusivity, associated with close or best friendships. We learn a lot from our casual friends since information is often the basis for exchange in this type of friendship.

2. The Close Friend

Close friends are those with whom someone confides private thoughts or feelings without fear of repercussions because there is a mutual trust that confidences will not be shared. The key difference between a close and a best friend is that you can have several or many close friends; it is difficult, especially in the same geographical area, to have multiple "best" friends. Twenty-five-year-old Sonia offers this definition of a close friend: "If I am able to be myself and they feel comfortable to be themselves around me, no matter what the situation is, I would consider them my close friends."

3. The Best Friend

Like a close friend, only elevated to such an intimate level that this is "the" best friend that you have, this intimate a friend may be harder to maintain either in the workplace or once a woman or man marries and connects to her or his spouse as his or her best "friend." Married men often call their wife their only best friend but men, like women, still could benefit from having at least one best friend outside of marriage, someone who is trustworthy enough to share those innermost thoughts and dreams.

4. Same-Sex Friend

A same-sex friend helps you to validate or challenge your own perspectives and to be able to share about experiences, as long as it is done in an appropriate way in the workplace or business settings, along gender lines. Some of that sharing may even be in an unspoken way; being friends of the same sex there is usually a commonality of the experience, such as issues related to children, aging, fashion, physical changes, and relationships.

5. Opposite Sex Friend

There are distinct benefits to male-female friendships, whatever the level of intimacy. Fortunately, it is no longer immediately assumed that the friendship has to be "something else." Since research has found that female friendships tend to be more intimate than male friendships, having an opposite-sex friend provides each gender with the chance to take a break from those gender-specific ways of connecting. In that way, a man, in general, may be able to share more of his emotions with his female friend; a woman is able to have friendships with men based on sharing activities, without the self-disclosure or emotional intensity that her same-sex friends may expect.

6. The Nostalgic Friend

You grew up together. Or you went to school together, grade school, high school, or college. Or you could have even worked together but you are no longer at the same company or even in the same field. But you need at least one nostalgic friend to help you to have continuity in your life. To remind you of where you've been as a way of reaffirming how far you've traveled. Someone you can say, "Remember when:" and he or she fills in the dashes like no one else can except maybe a family member or sibling.

7. The Role Model

This is the friend who helps you go to the next level whether she's better at hair styling than you are or works harder or has somehow managed to find the right balance in his life among career, romantic, childcare, and friendship pulls and choices. She's great about shopping for clothes and knowing who has a sale and when. You tag along and that's fine because you learn by her example. Maybe he switched careers in his late twenties, showing you it is possible to pursue new dreams even after a decade or two of work experience that is now unrelated to what he now does but not irrelevant.

8. The Motivator

When you're feeling defeated or overwhelmed, The Motivator brings you way up as she inspires you and motivates you to keep trying. It's not just empty words or a "rah, rah, rah" cheer, it's words that truly motivate you because this friend understands where you're coming from, and where you want to go.

9. The Realist

This friend doesn't put you down, but she does temper your enthusiasm and wild plans with some well-meaning realism. She's the one that reminds you that going blonde could be a great idea but be prepared for lots of hair cares concerns. You want to go back to school and The Realist says, Great idea, but she also reminds you that you'll need to pay for it somehow.

10. The Nurturer

This friend is there with a hanky when you're sad and she even offers to baby-sit if you have childcare issues; she doesn't just point you in the right direction for help. She nurtures you emotionally as well. Men especially need a friend who is also a nurturer since it's so much harder for most men to look to peers for support and comfort. Since this friend offers it without being asked, having a nurturer for a friend helps a man to gather additional comfort besides what his romantic partner offers.

Do you have all ten of the above types of friends that every man or woman needs? Are you offering any or all of these aspects of friendship to your friends? Giving to others is of course very rewarding and valuable as you are, for example, the Realist, Nurturer, or Best Friend for those friends you care about. But also make an effort to have these ten essential friends in your life as well. Proximity counts, so be careful, also, to have some friends who are within twenty minutes of your home or apartment, or even closer by, as well as those who are far away but connected to you emotionally as well as through e-mails, phone calls, letters, or occasional visits.
