Closing time!
It's April 29th! I figure, perfect time to make closing statements, since after the exams and grad I'm pretty sure I'll be too tired / busy to do it :P I thought of making a long one but decided to just make some shoutouts. But why closing statements, you say? :O Well graduation => that sort of moving on thing, where we all go out and witness the world first hand, so what a great time to close down the livejournal! Not to mention I don't use it anymore haha, it's sort of pointless - I just go on when I feel like trouble :P
Note:: if you want to reply to this at all, feel free to e-mail me, leedapie@gmail.com
(It's a wierd feeling though, I used to always have to post, I had to tell people what was going on in my life and get their responses, but now it's like, well ... I don't care much! Wierd feeling =.=)
So here are some shoutouts to the people I've known on LJ plus some people from the other side of life::
~ <3livejournal ~
__defendant ::
It's been like what, a year or so since we last really talked? I miss you! (Though it was nice catching up a bit in the library... ~^) I know you don't want to hear it but I have to say it anyways -> I always see you as a beautiful person, and our friendship means something, if you know what I mean. And you have supurb taste in sunglasses ~^ Thanks Haidi! I'll see you at grad, and good luck with everything!
a_bit_esoteric ::
It all began in some english class, I've forgotten which year but it doesn't matter. you are so funnie and lovable ^_^ And I like your taste in literature, hahaha. And you have gorgeous cats, kiss them for me. But anyways, we didn't /really/ see each other much especially in the last year or so, but thanks for being my favourite, awsomest and truest Dudeman. I'll catch ya at grad Amy ^^ and keep cheering!
bclee1123 ::
Aww, I <3 Bernice, you're one of the most fantastic people I've ever met, and I don't say it with an easy heart - there aren't many people like you ~^ Cute and funnie, caring and compassionate, and of course you have the brains ^_^ But especially this year I got to see you a lot (of course, you were in my classes ^_^) (though i'm sad I couldn't do dragon boating :( ). You helped me through lots of stuff, too, thanks so much for listening! Of course we have to keep in contact after all this is over ~^ But good luck with everything, anyways! Maybe I'll see you at the Petcetera too, hmm ... But thanks so much for being a breath taking friend :) I probably have more to say but I'm not sure what it is XD
Maybe I should also add, thank you for introducing me to a person I thought only happened in dreams
citfuhaggu ::
Well Matt it's been a while hasn't it? Sorry :P But still, you are my favourite little Kingston boy ^_^ Thanks for the MUSIC Man, I Hate Sally and Kittie made me melt <3 Good luck with all, and keep on Heufing!
elysian_fantasy ::
Well I find that you've deleted your LJ but oh well, I have to shout you too! So when did we meet? 4 years ago? 5? Haha actually I think I was in middle school, so ... more than 5 years? And we lost each other and magically found each other again on the IOC... lost each other hten magically got back in touch again (strange how that worked!! O.x) Well my dear Jessical, I say it a lot but you are a gorgeous person <3 And you were there for me in that sort of transitional period of 'becomming someone'....Thanks so much for your support, and introducing me to like ... everything. Including Yuyu and Kat ^^ I'm sure we'll meet again some day! Best wishes Jess~
jin_murdervoice ::
Been a while - still keeping an eye on eqlipsE when I can! I don't need to tell you how talented you are but I just did anyways, and you better believe it. (Not to mention you also have a gift for those costumes and the photoshoots ~^) Best wishes, Jin \m/
kabi_kagami ::
I totally just randomly added you to my LJ, sorry we didn't really get to chat ~^ Best wishes anyways David ^_^
kithop ::
Well, thanks for the intro to your music, and keep it up - you guys are awsome and you know it! Good luck Gary ~! I'll watch for you guys~
obsessionfreak ::
(Finally some PROPER bye-bye as opposed to what I squirted out previously - don't read it if you don't want to know!) Well it's been a long journey, hasn't it? Did we meet like, 2 years ago or something? So lets face it, there were good times and bad times, but the good times were fun, hours upon hours of escapism and creativity ~^ Well, I had a blast. Not to mention with the J-rock :D You opened my eyes to more than I knew was out there (my guilty pleasure is STILL PLC with a side of emo Gackt). And despite everything I gotta say, thanks for being there and understanding when I was stressed or depressed or whatever... (I wish I wasn't so genogihewagweoigh, you were always so much more pleasent... could never quite get my mind around that) and thanks for talking me through it, and thanks for making me feel like the world belonged to me, and I did not belong to the world ... and for your patience. Our time togeter really meant things in my life, and taught me a number of lessons, the largest likely being the most recent ... perhaps, that life is not a game, life is real. What is more, being a human being comes with responsibilities which we all have to learn. So thanks - you, personally, opened my eyes ^^ and I wish you the best of luck in your future - I know often it doesn't seem like it, but it'll be a bright one. Why? Because you're Ekatarina Anastasia Jean Carter (excuse my spelling >.>), and that alone calls for a happy ending. I don't know how to get my words around it but despite what you think, or what anyone thinks I think, I know you're a person of breath taking quality, and I know life has a special little Oasis just for you. So get to it, and live your dreams - ASAP
shugi_chan ::
Argh I wish I kept up with everything better! I know, I haven't been online or anything for a long time, sorry!!! But anyhow, chatting you up was awsome fun (you super rocker chic you)! Thanks for joining me in skinnydipping in J-rock! (I was trying to find a fun sexual metaphore for looking @ j-rock stuff but I couldn't :P) Well I have your website bookmarked, I'll check it up - I'm doing a huge online transition thing too so I'll e-mail you or something when it all gets sorted out (juggling 3 fish tanks, 2 mice, 2 snakes and 2 jobs and a room-renovation in the summer =.=;;; ) Rock it up Shugi-chan ^_^ \m/ And best wishes. I expect to recieve an account of your fantastic trip to Japan and the concerts you went to and the sushi you ate sometime soon ~^ Go!!!!
sitrielle ::
We really haven't talked for ages, have we? Sorry! Too bad I didn't get to know you better, but isn't that life? What I do know however is you are awfully sexy, blame Kat for that? Awsome. And keep it up with the J-rock XD again I say, keep on heufing ^^
utani ::
Sorry we haven't talked for a while Yuyu! Miss ya! Still producing music? You should be. XD Anyways thanks for all the fun times, you're an awfully funnie little boy Yuyu Gu. I still have that picture of you that I touched up and made you all pretty... I also have a file of something really funny you said, it had to do with mushrooms and a lawnmower, but I can't find it :( Shame shame. Well I'll catch up with you eventually, best of luck Yuyubells!
~ <3school ~
Ben ::
Interesting few years Bennifer! It began with you were just another one of those guys who somehow knew who I was and yet I had no idea who the heck you were or how you knew me. Developed into more, then suddenly faded to nothing, and now we are buddies ^_^ Exept I'm mean to you, sorry Bennifer XD Well look man, thanks for listening when I was down, trying to help me back up again (it actually worked, too!) and generally, thanks for being one of my bestest friends. I'm going to stalk you over the summer, just to warn you. Get a job man! And give Chicken a kissu for me. And FREAKING TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF FOR ONCE. ~^
Boyang ::
Only see you in the halls now but oh well. Thanks for being my little friend since grade 9 ^_^ It's been fun! We probably had one of the most interesting meetings ever!
B: "Excuse me but, are you anaemic?..."
L: "...what's that?"
Well you keep up with your photography, good luck!!!
Bria ::
Bri-cheez aka BunBunz ... we've had the longest friendship ever, like since kindergarten...Aww remember little us playing little games and going to each other's house every day ^_^ Thanks for the awsome memories. Ooh like the recent one of Victoria when our daddies ran the marathon together... think it'll happen again? ~^ Catch you at grad ~^ (lets hope its not a total Bira Kang fest)
Charlotte ::
From the deep talks to the bacon and potato people, thanks for being there ~^ Especially when we saw each other more than once a week! You were my level head for quite some time, and I really appreciate that. I'll catch you at grad Char ;)
Newman ::
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII REMEMBER THE GAMES OF WAR, they lasted between 1 and 5 minutes each and we had about 5 wars in a row...talk about freaky? Okay well that was really fun, thanks for adopting this loner in her early years ~^
Kirsten ::
It's been a bumpy ride to say the least but at least we're graduating this year, no more highschool -> epitome of kool. So when did it start... It was like grade 9, in some english class where I sat in a group with you and a couple other girls. And you were really intimidating, I remember you had these awsome bracelettes up your arms and some chokers, and you sat there with a sense of self-assuredness that I thought I'd never have. Not to mention I was a total loner and had no friends. But I wanted to get to know you and luckily for me, you talked to me! And remembering all that time... God we had fun didn't we? Malls, wierdness, sexing inanimate objects and the like. We got into music, J-rock, had plans, made plans, tried to carry out plans... we wrote and sung, and I thought I'd be intimiated by your skills (like your awsome writing / lyricsing and your singing) but I wasn't of course, I just felt freaking lucky that I knew someone like that! I can't honestly remember everything we did but if I think hard about it all I remember is having the times of my life (how? I can't remember damnit but it must have been good). And in that time you did so much for me, too. I became more self-assured as well, like, quit worrying what other people thought. We were like a team sorta, and together nothing could get us down. We both had our points of hell and we tried to help each other out... I remember all the times you were there for me, thanks for that - how would I have got through those years without you? There was so very much, I can't type it all. You became my closest friend, and it was the best feeling ever. And it may sound like a load of BS right now but i have to say, it wsn't just your tallent that blew me away, but your attitude of like, don't conform to what they want, let them conform to you. It's powerful stuff and I don't know anyone else who had that about them, and I hope that that never changes. Everyone needs to know someone like that, because that right there is beautiful.
But of course I can't leave out all the crap too, especially in this last year. There were the missunderstandings, there were the jumping to the conclusions, and there was the downright bitchyness (lets face it, I have my days and I know that, and there's no excuse for it, yeah :P) But there's two important things to remember about that. One...That doesn't change the past. When I look at the way things are now I cringe, and I know that it's all irriversable. But when I look at the past I have to smile, and the warm fuzzy feeling comes... I had an awsome relationship with this girl who's uniqueness stands out above any crowd, and nothing can change the fact that that's how it was. The second is, though the pain we inflicted upon each other can't be changed, can't be removed (as it is also implanted in the past unfortunately) i think we both learned things about ourselves and about people. Though I can't speak for you but I can speak for myself. So I also have to thank you for that opportunity. After I get angry I have to think. Like, why is this happening. What did I do. What should I do. Should I have done that. No, I probably shouldn't have. I've also learned (finally) not to listen to what people say behind my back. (Because who cares, right? I can't make people see my side of things if they don't want to). And maybe it seems like I'll never change, I'll never grow up but believe me, nothing has been wasted.
So in conclusion, if I'm thinking about you, I'm not going to remember this year. This year was empty. All I'll remember is mistakes I've made and how much change I have had to do to correct myself. I'm going to remember the first three years of highschool, where I had a best friend whom I loved, who put up with me and who showed me what it meant to be a good friend and a good person. In fact you were probably one of the most significant and meaningful things that happened to me in highschool, so ... thanks for everything, and I wish you the best of luck in your future. Keep writing, keep singing, keep doing your thing and you know this, but keep your dreams close and reach for them.
Thanks.
God that was long.
Lysha (aka Lyshita) ::
I'll save most of it for that page in your yearbook but for now, thanks so much for being my bestie. We went through a lot, like, hell and back in a handbasket, so thanks for always being there, for teaching me the art of the Zen and the Ohm, and all that. Your sence of friendship absolutely astounds me, and I couldn't have asked for more funner times than we had ~^ Ah...This is going to be really long, so saving it for your yearbook ^_^
Rory ::
From bubble tea to rock concerts that I missed, we had fun ^_^ I swear, I'm going to one, I'll contact you over the summer! Rock it on XD
Tori ::
Okay so we haven't seen much of each other in the past 4 years but still! Anyhow, middle school was...er...fun...Well we made it as fun as we could. Remember the garage we got stuck in? Special memories aww haha but thanks for the good times! I'll catch you at grad and we'll have to keep in touch through e-mail or something ... yep! So, good luck in the future and all that. Live the dream ~^
Tulsi ::
Life is FUNNY. Funny that you live a 5 second drive from me and yet you live in Coquitlam and I live in Port Moody. ALso funny that though we live that close and we both got rides to school we never carpooled! OKAY WELL We had some awsome fun and we are so very keeping in touch, thanks for all the good times and the ones to come ~^ Hope Buddy is doing well!
~ <3abandonedprojekt ~
Deanie ::
My homie! We have too much fun together *whip* practice practice practice! >=( Naw but fantastic work you tallented little guitarist ^^ Lets keep nudging Geoff, maybe one day he'll accept Greenday ... (Pff lmao ahahah nah) Anyways, so far it's been real, it's been nice, it's even been real nice! We're gonna work it this summer, get the band filled up and gig it up! Catch ya later!
Geoff ::
Greenday ... hahaa. Okay well thanks for the hard work and the awsome riffs so far - jamming with you guys was awsome XD I still expect lots of practice happening though *whip whip* So get to it! >=) Haha
Jon ::
The "New Guy" :P Naw, not really, but thanks for the awsome riffs and lyrics and voice and well, tallent ^_^ And definately a big thanks for your support and all that - now lets gig it up!
Heather ::
It was awsome meeting you! I'm sure we'll meet again ~^ Come to some jams :D hehe keep on rocking... ( i wanted to see The Hate Theory :( start it up again? =D )
~ <3 ~
Peter ::
You get your own special little section... I'll make this brief as I've got something else for you... But thanks for everything. Your support, your compassion, your empathy (haha ooh the empathy)... The laughs and the tears, the undying affection, the snapdragon garden, the more than everything I've ever dreamed of. And need I say again...the laughs.
(Peter choked on a finger condom. Long story.)
That one night, and the 6 months following completely changed what I thought relationships were. What I thought love was. What I thought companionship was. I'd say "thank you for everything", but that doesn't even count for half a syllable of my gratitude to you. But I hope that each day we meet a piece of that love and gratitude will present itself to you, and that every hour we spend together from now until we part combined will give a brief summary as to my feelings. Maybe.
What else can I say? For the time being... I feel it also suiting to tell you that before you, I was not going to have relationships. I was going to go on dates and have fun. But relationships were no-nos, and long-term plans were strictly forbidden.
But because of you I let go of that. I had to - some feelings you just can't ignore. I know, you know. We came from the same boat. Together we confessed our pasts and we understood where each other was comming from. Together we ... grew up a bit, didn't we. We soothed each other's tears. We trusted each other. Like I said, we had to...
The look in your eyes when you asked me the question... that look fed me the answer I'd had burning inside me. And, I could want nothing more than to share with you as much life as I have to give.
Thank you for the time we spend together.
Thank you for who you are.
Thank you for being my ultimate love story.
~ <3 ~ Love to all!! - Leeda ~ <3 ~
Happy graduation class of '06 and to everyone else, happy summer!

Okay so we haven't seen much of each other in the past 4 years but still! Anyhow, middle school was...er...fun...Well we made it as fun as we could. Remember the garage we got stuck in?

Live the dream ~^

Life is FUNNY. Funny that you live a 5 second drive from me and yet you live in Coquitlam and I live in Port Moody. ALso funny that though we live that close and we both got rides to school we never carpooled!

Peter ::
You get your own special little section... I'll make this brief as I've got something else for you... But thanks for everything. Your support, your compassion, your empathy (haha ooh the empathy)... The laughs and the tears, the undying affection, the snapdragon garden, the more than everything I've ever dreamed of. And need I say again...the laughs.
(Peter choked on a finger condom. Long story.)
That one night, and the 6 months following completely changed what I thought relationships were. What I thought love was. What I thought companionship was. I'd say "thank you for everything", but that doesn't even count for half a syllable of my gratitude to you. But I hope that each day we meet a piece of that love and gratitude will present itself to you, and that every hour we spend together from now until we part combined will give a brief summary as to my feelings. Maybe.
What else can I say? For the time being... I feel it also suiting to tell you that before you, I was not going to have relationships. I was going to go on dates and have fun. But relationships were no-nos, and long-term plans were strictly forbidden.
But because of you I let go of that. I had to - some feelings you just can't ignore. I know, you know. We came from the same boat. Together we confessed our pasts and we understood where each other was comming from. Together we ... grew up a bit, didn't we. We soothed each other's tears. We trusted each other. Like I said, we had to...
The look in your eyes when you asked me the question... that look fed me the answer I'd had burning inside me. And, I could want nothing more than to share with you as much life as I have to give.
Thank you for the time we spend together.
Thank you for who you are.
Thank you for being my ultimate love story.
~ <3 ~ Love to all!! - Leeda ~ <3 ~
Happy graduation class of '06 and to everyone else, happy summer!
