My friend Shalimar

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

I’ve made a lot of good friends online, and then there are some I connect with even more so than others. Perhaps there’s a certain chemistry that we would share — the chemistry of kindred souls, of friendship borne out of utmost sincerity, trust and a shared sense of humor.
