Music is worthless unless it can, make a complete stranger

Breakdown and cry.

In elementary school, they do their best to teach you the basics. How to read, how to do math, basic backgrounds on history and science, but most of all they encourage your ability to be a friend. Towards the end of the first semester, most teachers do a secret gift exchange. It's usually someone you pull out of a hat, and you're supposed to get that person, whether you know them or not, a $5 dollar gift. I think the message is that it's small gestures that mean the most. During Christmas the popular advice is "It's the thought that counts." I'm tired of my thoughts not counting.

I'm glad that El Scorcho is alive, but I wish she would stop trying to leech off of me. No, I don't have any money you can borrow. No, I'm not driving you to Dallas. No, I'm not accepting your application.

It seems these days I have fewer friends, but I'm glad that I have some of the ones that I have. Who know what it is to need, not want. In my time I've bailed out many friends, strangers, and family members. There isn't a single family member that hasn't helped me out when stress attacked, usually Shadow being the main relief. However, I see her as more of a leech these days.

Willow - I am glad that you're around. I know we don't talk as much anymore, and things have only become stranger between us as time goes on, but I really do appreciate your friendship.

KT - You don't know how much you've carried me through. You remind me so much of my sister, only a more grown up version, the way she used to be.

Luli - I'm not sure what brought us together, but I'm glad that we're friends. You make the rain stop, and I pledge my support to you, no matter what roads you choose. Hopefully one day we'll be more than voices and words.

Andreya - There's no one in this world I care about more than you, and you know it. However, I don't know how to make you happy anymore. Every effort seems to fall short. I'm not the one you call for when you need real help anymore. It drives me crazy that I don't know what I can do for you anymore, but I'm still here. Against all suggestion, I'm here.

Ann - We just met, and although your husband is a little flaky, I think you and I might end up as great friends. I love the fact that you're from Hortonville, like my home away from home ^_^.

Well I wish I had more time to do shout-outs, but gymnastics starts soon, and I still need to eat.
