I was on the fence about doing one of these, while simultaneously saying that I'd give in when Eric did. Then, when I finally gave in, I signed on a saw Eric had done one as well, so there are no excuses now.
1. I know that I have never hurt anyone in my life in the way that I hurt you, and I cannot begin to apologize enough for that. You drive me absolutely insane sometimes, but I love you more than anything in the world, and for those times when I don't let you know that, I am truly sorry.
2. Although I am significantly older than you (especially when compared to the rest of our friends), there is no one I can think of who I have looked up to for as long as I've looked up to you. You've introduced me to so many of the things I've become interested in in my life, and I'm eternally grateful.
3. You two frustrate me on a level that no one else can, but recently I've been able to step outside of myself and understand your position. I hope someday that you'll be able to understand mine.
4. I lost all respect for you when you got expelled from school, and I haven't gained it back since. (Hahaha. I'm just kidding. I know I told you I'd start some fake drama on here about you, but I can't bring myself to say anything mean about you, even in jest.) Actually, the thing you wrote about me is pretty fitting for right back at you. There was a period of time that I had a problem with you, and I can't quite tell you what it might have been. I think mine was near the end of MY time in high school, but whatever. Who the fuck cares now? You are one of the most stand-up guys I know and you're probably one of the most level-headed and intelligent out of all of us.
5. Before this year, I couldn't have imagined just hanging out with you and not a huge group, but I'm not really sure why. Since everything has gotten so busy lately, I really miss our weekend chill-out times. And I am so happy for you with your "the condition your condition is in."
6. You have shown me what it really is like to feel betrayed.
7. You're a really good person, and I don't believe you did anything on purpose, but you more or less crushed me as a human being for many years and many other people have been forced to deal with the wreckage you left behind.
8. A lot of people have romanticized you and your past with us, but as far as I'm concerned, you've been gone for a very long time in one way or another. This is just one more pathetic attempt to be cool and accepted in a long line of them. At you aren't as much of an asshole now as you were in your previous few incarnations.
9. You are a really cool guy, but you gotta chill out sometimes.
10. You seemed to come into my life right as someone else seemed to leave and the tradeoff was totally in our favor.
11. I rarely spend any time with you anymore, we've both changed quite a bit since we found that we had a lot in common in a group that we didn't fit into at all, but I still feel a strong connection to you and would consider you a close friend still.
12. I don't think anyone will ever really understand your motivations in life, including you.
13. You are the one person on earth (although, supposedly, technically you are two people) who I really, truly hate with every fiber of my being. You represent everything that I believe is wrong with the world and you are praised up and down for it. I may not be as recognized as you, but at least I still have my soul. You are worthless, thieving, empty, shallow, heartless, greedy. I wish death on you all the time, but honestly, I hope that you outlive your popularity and assumed usefullness by several decades, so that you can sit in some whole and contemplate your empire of cards that disappeared, leaving you shrivelled up and used, a hollow shell with no soul to fill it. I'm not bold enough to say that I'll ever be a huge success in anything I do, but if I ever do get major recognition, I hope you find out about it on your lowest day, and I hope THAT is what kills you.
There. I know everyone is doing intervals of five, but 13 is my number. I'm sticking with it. Guess away.
