Reminiscing on Cedar Point.
"How do you measure--measure a year?"
*sigh* I was just looking back at my Livejournal Entries from my Cedar Point experience. What made me delve all the way back there was going through my folder on this computer (here in Jersey) and finding a few conversations from a year and two days ago that I had with Ryan Winder. It was nice and it was weird re-reading those conversations and remembering how it was. I must have just missed the conversation when I revealed for the first time that my name wasn't Misha and he decided to stick with Misha. :)
Anyways, I was reading my entries from Cedar Point b/c I was telling Ryan about how my friends were RENT-heads and about one of my friends (Jan) who left me at Cedar Point with a line from Rent. I still remember how she sauntered up to me in the Control Booth of Matterhorn and told me that she's getting out. Mike was there with the truck and she's quitting. She walked off with the parting words "We'll pack up all our junk and move to Santa Fe." *sigh*
I read again about how I felt when Paula, Jamie, Chris, and Beth left me. They quit 10 days before their term was up. I read about Paula's last words to me and I'd forgotten them. [...]"We'll always be friends."
When I heard her say that the first time, I really felt it. I smiled and broke from the hug and said, "'you mean it?" And she said, "Yes. We'll always be friends. Once you have a Roma as a friend, you're stuck with them." I hugged her tightly and said "I hope so."[...]

It's so weird to read it and almost relive the things I loved about it and to remember the things I hated about it. I really don't remember how much it sucked.. It was weird reading an entry with me talking about life on "the outside"...
[...]I just finished my last Saturday as a Cedar Point employee. It is weird to think of what life on the outside'll be like. Being able to dress how I want, wear my hair how I want, shave when I want, eat without having to delve into my wallet... *sigh* I can only fathom how splendiferous it will be...[...]

You really do take things for granted until they're taken away from you. Life lesson... It's good to remember those..
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Cherish what you have because, chances are, you won't miss it until it's gone.
