Lola

I met Lola back in 2009 when we were both noobs in Divine.  We shared a bond of MM boards and free Neko clothing.  Over the years we have been in and out of each other's Second Life.  I've always admired her strength and level-headed attitude. She is also a fantastic builder making beautiful clothing and party platforms. When it was time for me to leave Divine she welcomed me to her horde with open arms. I will always be thankful for her sound advice and reassurance when I'm in doubt.  Surprising thing about Lola is her incredible wit. She is hysterical! I love you, Lola. 

"A true friend unbosoms freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably." ~ William Penn

"Friends are like walls. Sometimes you lean on them, and sometimes its good just to know they are there." ~ Unknown

Laini

Laini. Oh that one word says it all. Such a strong personality, that woman. Deeply private of her rl, she is fiercely loyal if you are lucky enough to be allowed into her world.   One of my dearest friends and the one to call upon when you want to do something naughty. She never judges, never questions, just says "let's do it." Laini and I both joined Divine about the same time back in the fall of 2009. One of my early memories of her was after Rick scripted one of her tails she had me test it. I touched it and instantly was giving her a rim job. I cringed. We laughed and laughed about that. In February 2010,  we both streaked at Cari's wedding and a bond was made. Oh how she loves to rebel and cause a stir!  She drained the last bit of blood from me at my turning and helped make me a vampire. Over time, I have been her liege and in turn her grand minion now. I love you my Lainipie.

"But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but the sunshine of life, and thanks to the benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine." ~ Thomas Jefferson

"A good friend is a connection to life- a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world." ~ Lois Wyse

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, for in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed." ~ Kahlil Gibran

Kumani

Where to begin about Kumani? My mind is filled with so many memories and overwhelmed with emotion when I think of her. She is my shelter from the rain, my voice of reason, my sounding board, my fashion consultant, my tarot card reader,  my sister witch. She keeps me grounded when I get too high and encourages me to soar when I put myself down. She came to me as a gift in Bloodlines in November 2009. Britney was out hunting and brought her back for Daisy. Daisy suggested to give her to me since we were both Americans and on at the same time. Kumani had just removed the garlic right before Britney approached her and wanted to see what the vampires were all about. I believe there are no coincidences in life and we were destined to meet. I became her liege and she in turn became my best friend.  She bloomed and blossomed and moved on to become a Crown Princess in her own right. We remained inseparable friends though our clans were different. I love you, Kumani.

"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.  It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being.  We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit."  ~Albert Schweitzer

"But oh! the blessing it is to have a friend to whom one can speak fearlessly on any subject; with whom one's deepest as well as one's most foolish thoughts come out simply and safely.  Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away."  ~Dinah Craik, A Life for a Life, 1859

"There is magic in long-distance friendships.  They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound."  ~Diana Cortes
