Eight O Eight

Thats today ... Eight O Eight ie 8th August.
Some of you might remember what day it is today, for those of you who don't read history here :)
Happy Yellow Flower Anniversary ppl !!! :D
Okay there is not much that I will do today for celebration except wearing yellow and wishing ppl. I just wished him and all of you. But I thought this is the best occasion to take up a long pending tag... the 8 things tag. There are 8 flowers each with 8 petals in the picture, you get the connection don't u? ;)
I was tagged (honestly I don't remember when) by Pri, Solitaire, Sam and Ashu so without much ado here I go :

Eight things that attract me to my best friends
*smiles*

• The fact that they can listen to me babble forever without complaining.
  
• They actually smile at my childish antics and can make me smile instantly when I'm sad.
  
• They remember things I say often.
  
• They know me very well and I'm totally myself around them.
  
• The non stop giggling, the silences, the serious talks.
  
• The hugs and kisses (so what if its only emoticons most of the times :P)
  
• The fact that they're always there for me and the fact they restore my faith in myself whenever I am in doubt.
  
• The cute names I get addressed with.

Love always...
