Changing slowly, in a world that's moving much faster

I'm so glad for Andrew. I love him. He's been a jerk in the past, and still can be. But in the past few weeks, he's been the best brother ever. I don't know what I would have done without him a few late nights. And Megan, thanks for being so awesomely amazing. You truly are an amazing friend and an incredible person. I know I'll never replace Tessa or Chris, but I'd like you to know that I'm here for you too. Thanks for being there for me. Ian, you're super awesome, and Jeff too. You kids rock my socks. Laura, thanks for bein' around to make me feel better.

Things have been weird lately. People are changing. I'm changing too. I need to say now, I'm sorry if I've hurt you, ever. I'm trying to make myself over. Not my outside, but the kind of person I am. It's proving to be a lot harder than I indtended. So thanks for stickin' with me. A lot of things are gonna happen this year. I can just feel it now. I have some hints into some things. Others are a total mystery, but I think I'm ready.

I'll stop being deep for a second to talk about marching band. This year's show is the hardest 11 minutes of my life. And I have to do it twice a day or more. The band is the best it's ever been. The guard has the potential, but we're not going to go into that right now. The friends are there. The show is incredible. Our practices, days like saturday, make me want to punch in the face until they collapse, anyone who says marching band is easy, or that it isn't athletic. You don't know the half. This year is going to be amazing. I want it sooo bad too. Not 6th. Not 4th. I don't want to settle. I want to show everyone that we're not a bunch of crazy martian loonys. I want 3rd, or 2nd even. I don't expect to beat Marion, but by golly, if we get the chance, then lets do it.

So in all, things are goin' all right. I'm meeting new people. Re meeting old people. I'm losing some people, and picking new ones up. And this year I mean it. I'm cuttin' down on the gossip. Not completely. Keeping everything bottled inside is unhealthy. Gossip is human nature. But I swear, I'm going to control it. So do remind me of that, I won't be offended if you do.
TTFN!
