Everyone needs someone to listen to them even when they have the most ridiculous problems. I never expected to find someone like that but I did! I have many friends but none like Stephen Ansell(to people from #Melbourne on IRC Undernet,he is Seriph). Someone said to me a couple of days ago that everyone needs a Steve Ansell in their lives. I totally agree with her! Steve has the most astounding energy. I am half his age and I do not have the energy, the will to survive like he does. I wish I did!:)

Steve always manages to be the life of the party. He can conduct discussions with people of all ages. With children, he is as gentle as an angel. With adults, he can have conversations on all kinds of topics from Arts to Science, Theatre to Movies, Life to Death...ANYTHING! He is the most remarkable man I have ever met. Nothing is too much for him.He is incredibly talented...he sings like an angel and he has performed in many plays and musicals in Australia and other parts of the world.

He is capable of so many acts of kindness...For instance, a couple of days ago we were driving along as we passed a school compound and he noticed something many of us would never have....A couple of children had been playing with a ball and it had been accidently been thrown outside the fenced compound. They stood staring desolately at the ball which was so close and yet so unatainable at that time. Steve noticed this and screeched to a stop. He got down and threw the ball over the fence for those kids. How many of us would have taken the time to do something like that? For many (including me), it would have passed unnoticed but this man, had the time to make the day for a couple of kids.

Steve is also capable of making even the most unattractive (or at least, in her eyes) woman think that she was Miss Universe. His comments are so unexpected that they completely throw the person off balance. He is the kind of man who keeps a door open for a woman, kisses her hand as she leaves and pays attention to her as she talks. So, guys if you would like to impress your woman, Stephen would probably give you a lot of tips on doing so!:)

I am sure that all of you must be thinking that I have some kind of romantic interest for this man but he is neither, my boyfriend or lover. He is more than that! He is a friend!!!! A friend for all seasons...A true Earth Angel.

I never thought that there could be someone like Steve in this world. Someone who is ready to help anyone out without expecting anything in return. Where are all our good samaritans? Is Steve the only surviving one? I hope not!
