Mary is a pretty awesome chick. She never ceases to amaze me, or surprise me, or entertain me. It's kind of funny, actually, how long we have been, and how quickly we became great friends because our personalities are so different. But then again, if you asked me what color best fits her, I think I would have to say (if this isn't cheating) the rainbow. When the situation calls for it, she can be one of the most caring and understanding people I know; she can be calm, and serious, and incredibly sincere. She's also got a bit of a daredevil, wacky side to her personality, though. Mary is strong and tough, and she's willing not only to support us but to push us to overcome our problems or fears or our not-so-beneficial habits. I appreciate her so much for every one of these things, and I think this great number of traits might explain why she seems like a rainbow rather than one specific color to me.

I hope this hasn't become too deep or heavy-handed, especially given what everyone else has written, but I feel like she deserves recognition of all the traits mentioned. So here are some random facts to add in, and make this post a little lighter. She has gone through so many phases, devoting herself to one certain thing for a good bit of time before moving on to the next. I have seen her devote herself to volleyball, but I also know she used to ride horses; I have listened to her favorite music with her, even though her favorites changed almost every two weeks in middle school; I have seen her become engrossed with the idea of palm reading and fortune telling, and also with the topic of stars and the universe, and how are world and galaxy work. I hope the fact that I have listed all these random phases doesn't bother her or embarass her in any way because I admire her for being able to push herself to explore so many areas. So many of us stick with one or two extracurricular activities our whole lifetime, but how do we figure out what we like best and what suits us best if we don't explore our options thoroughly first?

So yeah, I guess I should just end my little post for Mary here with the fact that she's one awesome chick. There is no better way to describe Mary in one short sentence.
