I have been infatuated with this woman since the day I met her, and it is a testament to her character that she is okay with this. In the few months I have known her she has proved herself to be a solid person, a total riot, and lives true to what can only be described as the most healthy attitude about people I have ever experienced. Michello is sincerely sweet yet devilishly mischievous; she is honest and forthright, yet is still playful and coy; she is open to hearing out any crazy idea, but sticks to her values without coming off as being patronizing, self-righteous or snotty; she is drop dead gorgeous and intoxicatingly sexy even at 8 AM, just crawling out of her tent with leaves in her hair, a bad hangover, bloodshot eyes and smelling vaguely of campfire and stale beer. She is both refreshingly grounded and genuinely open minded. In spite of my repeatedly acting like an ass in her presence (this gushy testimonial included) she remains non-judgmental, shows her appreciation for me and has proved that she genuinely accepts a person as a whole, not picking and choosing the aspects she wants to see and denying or trying to change the aspects she might not be drawn too. She is wise well beyond her years, yet I have a feeling she doesn't realize this, which makes her all the more the charming.

The fact is, were my heart not spoken for, I would be all over this one. The best part is that she knows this and we can still be friends, and she even lets me hit on her once and a while without giving me the smackdown. I am sure our fast friends ship had a lot to do with how we enjoyed first Burning Man together, I am certain that I would have felt the same admiration for her under other circumstances. She is the embodiment of pure spirit, grounded by a sound mind and warmed by a gentle heart.
