Another 5 words meme.

I got seduced by the 5 word meme again, so this time I'll just write the paragraphs. If you want the meme, see earlier post: http://lady-drace.livejournal.com/175623.html
tli gave me the words: family; friendship; Garak; internet; Denmark.
Family:
Ever since I was old enough to grasp the concept, I've been dreaming of a family of my own. I think my larger family is just about as dysfunctional as the average lower class people, struggling with poor health and money issues. But despite it all, my mother managed to imprint on me an ideal of a loving family, that I really wanted for myself. So I always knew I wanted kids and hoped that I would have a loving, lasting relationship with their father, giving them the same ideals of love I was brought up with. With the birth of my son, I feel I'm finally on track with my life, fulfilling my greatest purpose and my dearest dream.
Friendship:
It's always been complicated for me. As a child I was bullied a lot and if I had any friends, they were several years younger than me and mostly the "disgusting kids" nobody else wanted to play with. Heck, I was one of them, basically because I was a little chubby. Not until the 9th grade did I really manage to have any close friends and I have a few left from that year of my life that stay with me. I'm fiercely loyal to those I think deserve it and I hate the fact that my anxiety makes it hard to give them the attention they deserve.
Garak:
My very first look at him was enough to ensure my eternal fangirl status! Being a cardassian had already ensured that he gained my favour, but the instant slash between him and Bashir was a real epiphany for me! When he first spoke, I blurted out: "Is it just me, or is he a little light in the loafers?!" But as his character developed I only respected him more and more, and character-wise, he is certainly my favorite between the two lovebirds. He's just so complicated and interesting! I can't blame Bashir for being drawn to him. :oD
Internet:
It really is a marvellous thing. And it's true what Avenue Q sings: "The Internet is for Porn." The very first thing I did on the internet was to enter a chatroom where some guy talked to me for 5 mins before he sent me an email with a photo of himself from the waist down... in a rather flattering condition, one might add. But since then, the possibilities have only seemed more and more endless. I'm sure I have the internet to thank for retaining just a small piece of my sanity when my anxiety has been the worst. Many sleepless nights have been spent on chatrooms with equals, or in communities, soothing my aching soul with wonderful fiction.
Denmark:
For one of the smallest countries in the world, we have an amazing influence on world politics. We have some of the highest taxes in the world, pay the highest percentage of financial help to needy countries and generally seem like a rich country. And maybe we are, which is why we are swamped with immigrants intent on mooching their way through life. We have a safe little spot in a turbulent world and we might seem quaint to the bigger nations. Our past and history seems so small compared to other countries, but it warms our hearts and I feel that we are a very patriotic people in general. And I wouldn't live anywhere else.
