Okay, so the person that I would like to spend more time with is called Galen. He is a very distant relative of mine, and when we were very little, he used to visit, and we would play all the time. Ever since then, every few months, we had a family visit, and that was the highlight of the season for me personally. I think he and I matched extremely well. He was my best friend over the years, and it's interesting that it has been about 12 years since we first met, and we still keep in touch. I think we will keep in touch in the future as well. What makes him an interesting person is that he is like the other side of the same coin. It's me because we love to spend time just hanging out, playing, going around, reading, and watching movies. Anything is more fun when he's around, and a lot of times we don't even do anything. Even though we don't do anything, the presence of each other is something that I appreciate very much.
