I would love to be a dolphin, because they are so smart, friendly, and playful. Their eyes are sweet and warm, and they always look like they have a knowing smile on their faces! They are very social, often forming giant social networks called superpods, and they get to communicate via ultrasonic messages and endearing clicks and whistles. Studies of dolphins report that they are very kind and altruistic, as well, often helping other dolphins who have been injured or have fallen ill. They love to leap and ride the waves like playful children, and seem surprisingly comfortable around humans. They are even artistic, in a sense, creating impressive bubble rings in the water for fun.

My best friend is someone I have known for a year and a half. That doesn’t seem like a long time, but we have been doubles partners on our tennis team for two seasons and you have to bond and understand each other very quickly for you to be an effective and winning duo. We don’t go for more than 2 days without seeing eachother, and no more than 12 hours without talking.  The one thing I can’t stand about her is that she cuts me off when we are having a conversation, as if what she is saying is more important than what I am. It’s not something that is easy to start talking about, wouldn’t it be ironic if I started the idea of it and she cut me off? I don’t think she would be offended if I brought it up, and I don’t think it would cause a conflict. The situation and conversation about it would just be awkward though. all in all I think it would be worth it though, she would be more aware of it, and maybe she would tell me something I am unaware of that annoys her and maybe others as well.
