Summer 2004 Pt 1
with the coming and going of the woodward dream cruise i realize this summer has fewer days ahead then behind, where did this whole summer go, is it just me or does it seem like this whole summer both in time, and weather was non existent?
This entry is mainly to recognize 2 people i have become so insanely close with in the last year that i dont know what life will be like without their constant pestering/calling (just kidding guys...) but as they say.... "Life is made up of years that mean nothing and moments that mean everything" I have definately had my moments with both of you guys.... there are too many to list them all but i will try to come up with some highlights...
Andrew (AKA Rat, or The Mexican Guy Formerly Known As Rat) ;-) ....
Where the hell do i start. i would be lying if i didn't say the day i met you i was scared to death of you, with your toaster, and your journals, and your notebook of stories. Somehow though we became insanely good friends and it has been over a year, it has not been the smoothest year but hell we made it past a year! All the arguments, you hate me, you don't really care, you lied, all the bullshit we have been through and managed to still not let effect our friendship... You have been right by my side thru some of my hardest times and worst days....and for that i can never thank you enough, to this day i think your the only friend who has seen me full out burst into tears and probably the only for a long time to come, as much as i tease you i hope you know what your friendship means to me and how much id miss you if you weren't just a phone call away. I mean come on... we talk about everything... Boys, Boy Problems, Life Problems, Life Decisions, Boy Decisions, what don't we talk about with each other... I don't even know where to start on my list of things to remember you by.... i think if i had to think of the 1 thing i will NEVER forget it would be "NEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDSSSSS AAAAAAAAAA HHHHEEEEEAAAADDDD"

This list could literally be non stop and i know I'm missing some important things but i want to post this before christmas... :-P
Kristen (AKA R, Horses Tail, Kristen R) where do we start to describe your role in my life to date... I have not known you QUITE as long as i have known andrew but it has been a JAM PACKED bunch of months and it will only become more interesting as time goes on down the road, don't think college will stop me from seeing you. You Kristen had the exclusive role of being my 24/7 HAG, you were always worried about what made me happy and were meticulous about screening my boyfriends i brought over.... thats another thing, you provided a warm comfortable environment (and couch) for me and whoever i brought over, you were in the very 1st group of people to actually meet nick the 1st time i brought him over, and it seemed we did everything together (see "snowboarding" below) we had a close-knit group of friends and we had thought we lost that for a while but we proved to ourselves we didn't need him to still have fun, he was never replaced but our smaller group still managed to stay close-knit for the most part....minus some drama that won't matter in 30 years when this is found on a old hard drive somewhere and re-read. Even though you are a girl thru and thru and take 40000000 hours to do your hair and makeup i still love you to death and life in the ham will be rougher without you around to always call me during work. ;-) You always loved to play tour guide....the one trip we actually made it on was awesome (TC) and our plans for mackinaw or florida, or everything else we schemed up would of been awesome but alas, you can't always be a travel agent.
