    Questions in the title :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I'd say mine, but anyone who knows me well enough should be able to guess :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: A cookie for the person who gets it.

    The person I admire most is my friend Carl. He was an amazing runner, incredibly smart, devoutly Christian, and just an awesome friend in every regard. I looked up to him before I got to personally know him (because word-of-mouth spreads fast in high school :wink:) and even more after I got to know him.

    You admire me... obviously. :grin:

    Nah it's that violin chick isn't it?

    For me, it's Mr Serj Tankian, because he's very political and has raised lots of money and awareness of certain issues such as the Armenian genocide, plus he's one hell of a singer.

    But he comes second in my list, under the combined names of Mr Parker and Mr Stone, because they are also incredibly awesome, not afraid to poke fun at the truth or display their veiws, they practice what they preach and they are very honest about what complete arseholes they are. I love 'em. :grin: If I could meet anyone in the world it would be either one of them.

    Daddy Bruce Randolph. Every holiday for decades, he'd go out and solicit donations of food, drinks, and supplies, and hold a holiday feast for Denver's homeless and hungry.

    I look up to Alan Turing and Nicola Tesla. Two geniuses who weren't praised enough in their time and still aren't in our time.

    The government essentially drove Turing, the father of computer science and someone whom without the Allies wouldn't have won WWII, to commit suicide after it discovered he was a homosexual and administered hormone therapy to "correct" him. And Tesla was not appreciated by the public, yet gave us AC power among other things and died penniless (especially after Edison cheated him out of money).

    I admire my friends, each for different reasons...well actually not all of them, but quite a number of them. They teach me to be awesome, because they are so awesome

    Also, I admire my sister. She's only 20, but is in a career, moving up the career ladder and is going to be so successful in her life. She inspires me to do better

    I must be weird...

    Even though she still does things I don't agree with, the one person I will always admire most in my life is my mom. She's just plain amazing. When my dad passed away in 2003, she was left the single (disabled I might add) mother of 3 teenagers, 2 of which had some problems after it happened, and one that was already distant (me). Yet she still handled it, and gave us love everyday, even if we argued, you could tell she still loved us. She even tossed aside any hate she had for the GLBT community when I came out, which even though telling her was hard, accepting it was even harder for her, and like I said, can never admire someone more then her because of things like this.
