hostess of many a memorable game
nights, queen of karaoke, and turner of
many heads... fun abounds whenever
she's around.
New York who will cheerfully let you
mooch multiple cigarettes, even if you
already smoked most of her pack the
night before. Aside from this sort of
mind-blowing generosity, she's also
really funny and smart and cool and
down-to-earth and everything else that
is good.
She's edited my short story with skills
enviable by many a so-called writing
teacher. This is not all...she is not
afraid to tell sleaze-balls off on the
street, though she is very even-
tempered with her friends, and she
never flinches when I speak my mind.
She's the kind of girl who knows a
smart person when she sees one, so
compliments from her mean a lot.
She use to wear a lot of make up when I
first met her but now she's learned to
let her natural beauty shine through.
Tip: The quickest way to her heart may
be via nutella.
variety, like the kind in old movies of
the 30s and 40s, played by such hot
chicks of yesteryear as Kate Hepburn
and Lauren Bacall. You know, the
brainy types who would deliver saucy
lines to their leading men and always
get the last word. Amber likes to mix
up this technique a little by following
up said line with an explosion of the
giggles. That's what makes her such an
original.
books. Not one or two, but several. I
read and enjoyed them all. How many
people do you know who present books on
a first meeting? That's what I thought.
Just one of the many reasons why Amber
is all-around cooler than most others.
myth about blondes being dumb with her
super board-game prowess. plus, she got
me to play a game about singing.
singing! and i even enjoyed myself.
neither of us are particularly morning
people, we always had at least twelve
stories to tell each other first thing,
like what are crazy coffee cart man did
that day. She is fun and expressive and
a great friend.
and I felt like I had already met here,
even though this wasn't true and none
of our mutual acquaintances were even
there. She is fun even when she gets
nassy sawdust on her polished toes!!
take your or leave you. She can ask
for the truth, but she'll never believe
you. And she'll take what you give her
as long as it's free.... She steals like
a thief, but she's always a woman to
me.
