very nice sheep

Following siriaeve:

Comment and I will post something good about you. (The original instructions say "something nice", but it seems at least possible that I might come up with something good that isn't very nice, and that would be more interesting, now, wouldn't it?)

There was a time when I barely knew you, and a time when we had been friends forever; somehow, looking back, there doesn't seem to have been any transition. You come across as lively, and a little bit reckless. I suspect, though, that much of that recklessness is-- viewed from the proper context, your private context-- incredible bravery.

My mother said once that what you really need to do is write a novel all the way through, and I think that's still true.
