I'll miss you...
Tim Shaw did that "What I Adore About You" post, as I did yesterday. It got me thinking. I'm going to miss so many people when I go away next year. I'm extremely excited to start that new part of my life, but I'm leaving another important part of my life behind. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not going to be one of those people who doesn't talk to their friends back home, but I know things are going to be different. So I decided to dedicate this post to all my friends out there. To show them how much I truly adore each and every one of them. I know not everyone I list will read this, but I want to put it all out there.
Disclaimer: This is really long. So if you do not want to read it all, please feel free to just jump to your name. But hey, feel free to read it all. Just thought I'd put this out there. lol

First person I'd like to talk about is Anna. The only class I've had with Anna, in high school, was Computer Multimedia. Actually, that was the first class we've had together since 5th grade. We've been friends since 1st grade, through Brownies. We've done cheerleading together and swam together for Freshman and Sophomore years. Though, we have grown apart in the past 4-6 years, I still see her as a good friend. The help her family gave us when we had the fire 8 years ago, was so great. I remember Mrs. Rathman going out to Kohls the night of the fire and buying me clothes, so I would have something to wear the next day to school. She was so good to us. I remember she threw my mom a coming home party. Anna was my first best friend, with the exception of Lindsay.

My friendship with Margaret didn't start until 7th grade. We met in Art class, and I was always jealous of her because of her abilities to draw so well. Lol. After Jr. HIgh we kind of lost touch. We didn't talk to much, but we acknowledged each other. That is before gym last year. Weight Lifting with Fidler. We did absolutely nothing, and we enjoyed it. We made a secret pact to do absolutely nothing in that class. And that we did. Amazingly we both were able to come out of the class with A's. How we did so? I have NO idea. But it happened. Then we had Expo Comp with each other this year. We shared the same hatred, and apparently the same grades on our papers, until I received that B- on my research paper. But we just laughed about that. Then came Brit Lit. Oh man, that was a fun class. The end of the semester MacBeth project was fun to make. Then we have Physics where we both share the same hatred for the stupid people in our class. These past two years we have gotten so much closer. I will miss her Margaretisms. I was talking to her the other day and was like "DUDE Margaret. This is it! No more classes together!" I will truly miss laughing at her quirks, and hearing her laugh at mine. (wow that sounded weird)

Amy. Amy Amy Amy. We've had our tough times. Freshman year was a hoot. Yes I said a hoot. I know we had a period of 2 years (?) that we didn't talk. I think, as bad as that was, it was good for both of us. We needed a break. We rekindled the friendship this year, and I'm glad of it. I've had a blast this Senior year. My fondest memory from this year has got to be Dana sitting in that gum. And then picking it off her butt, in the bathroom. I hope we keep in touch. We most definitely will.

When I first met Stephanie Hutton, I didn't know what to think. Here was this crazy girl who happened to resemble a cartoon character from the Flintstones. (Pebbles) Stephanie has always been able to make me smile. We've had our small tiffs, but how long did those last? Not too long. I feel we have grown apart these past two years. I hope we are able to keep in touch through out the years to come. She is truly a friend I would love to have around. One of my biggest memories with her is our camping trips with my family. I'm sad that we won't be able to go this Memorial Day weekend. Too much going on this month, according my folks. I know if I ever need a camping buddy, she will always be a phone call away.

I remember playing against Angela in basketball for the Park District. My first impression of her was "Dang! She's tall!" I'm ashamed to admit it, but I judged her by her height. Today she doesn't seem as tall. Maybe because I grew, but the judgment I passed on her was completely utterly wrong. She is one of the sweetest girls I have ever met. I won't miss her next year. That's for sure. Now that seems mean now doesn't it? Well, she's going to be down at Eastern with me so we'll be partying it up. Haha. Right... I hope we will be able to get closer in the years to come and that we don't completely forget that we're both down there. Lol.

Stephanie Penev, is one of my, let's say different friends. I met her at church through confirmation class. We didn't really become good friends until the summer before Jr. year. Why that was, is beyond my knowledge. She taught me to look at the world in a different light. I have to admit I haven't been the nicest person to her lately, and I really truly don't mean too. I will miss her next year. A week or two ago I went to this Breaking Away program with my mom at school and one of the speakers was talking about how different people deal with saying good-bye. And one of the ways was pushing someone away, with out totally realizing they're doing so. I think I've been unconsciously doing so. So here's my message to you Stephanie: No matter how I've been acting towards you, I still love you dearly and will never forget you. I will keep in touch, if you promise to keep in touch. You opened me up to an entirely new world. I would never have met all my good friends if it were not for you. If you had not introduced me and welcomed me into that group, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Yea you have your quirks just as I have my quirks, but we some how look past them and are able to be great friends. Remember: boys really are not that bad. They don't know what they're doing half the time.

Christine is one of my newest friends. I can only think of one word that would describe this girl, and that is: spirited. Now I know you're saying "What does 'spirited' mean?" Well, let me explain. Every-time I see her she has a great story to tell. She can put a smile on your face in an instant. Even when she's upset she can make you laugh. She's strong in her religion which has inspired me to be who I am and not to be ashamed. We always some how have had the same taste in boys. How that works, I'm not quite sure. But we've agreed on boys since the moment I met her. And we both know what I'm talking about. Lol. We've had our tiffs, but what friendship doesn't? But we were always able to make it up. One of my favorite things about her is her excitement for life. No matter what it is she is excited about it. Her family on the other hand, is CRAZY. I absolutely adore her and her family. Sometimes I wish I was apart of that family. They always seem to be having fun doing something crazy. (Not saying I hate my family they are marvelous also, but that's for another time) I'll miss Christine mucho mas. She will have to come visit me when she goes down to visit her sister. :smile:

Corpus is well, Corpus. We have lost touch in the past few months. And I don't like that, that has happened. I always had fun hanging out with him and everyone that came with him. I don't know really what to write here. We have lost so much in the past couple of months that its hard to say anything. He was one of my first good guy friends, despite the little crush I had on him. :wink: He accepted me into the group, which was my biggest fear when I first met this group. I wish we were closer. I wish we hadn't grown apart. I miss hanging out, granted I haven't really made much of an effort. Still I can miss him. I will miss him next year. We must keep in touch.
__________________________________________
I have been calling Mike, Ducci since the day I met him. I'm not sure why i necessarily shorted his name, I suppose i was because it was shorter than Banducci, and more fun than Mike. We agree on absolutely one thing and only one thing. Nothing else, other than our political views. The only thing we agree on. Why that is, I am so not sure. I love Mike. He is my little computer geek, who thinks I'm just as geeky as him. Little does he know, I never know what he is talking about. Oh, well I think he enjoys confusing me. I will miss him. But we will have fun when he comes and visits Alleigh. I will continue to give this boy advice,whether he wants it or not. I will miss you Michael Banducci.

I think Tim Shaw will be the guy I miss the most. I have grown close with him in the past 6 years. He is truly my best guy friend. He is fun, witty, liberal, smart, and just plain crazy. He is an amazing singer. Every time he sings he gives me the chills. There's not much more I can say, except I will miss him so much.
__________________________________________
My freshman. David is my freshman. I will miss him. I have just gotten close to him this past year. You look at this kid and if you didn't know better you would think he was older. Who would have ever thought I would be friends with my former music teacher's son. How crazy is that? It's pretty crazy. I am psyched for Prom. It's going to be a blast. I will miss David next year.
__________________________________________
I've known this girl since she was born. Lindsay is my longest friend ever. Not only is she my friend, but she's my "surrogate" cousin. We're not biologically related, but our parents are the best of friends, just like us. I remember how I was mean to her. I'm not sure why I was, but I was. I was a mean child. Let her tell you. But despite how mean I was, I loved this girl with all of my heart. She is an amazing girl. We used to play dress up, barbies, and ponies. We were the best of friends. We haven't seen each other a lot lately. I miss her already. This summer we are definitely going to hang out more often. My message to Lindsay is: stay yourself. Don't let your friends get to you. Stay strong. You are a strong girl.
______________________________________________________________
Now I know I saved this one for last. And I know you probably think I should have put this one first. But I chose not to. This is the person I will miss the most. She's been on my side for years. We have never been mad at each other. Ok well, we've never fought. We have our moments of where we are like oh.... and then less than 5 minutes later we're good. I love this girl so much. I don't know what I'm going to do next year with out her. I've been best friends with Dana since the 4th grade. I've known her since Kindergarten, but if you ask her she'll say 2nd grade. We have had so many adventures, that I can't just name one. *cough*gum*cough*. Haha. I'll miss you Dana, more than anyone (with the exception of mi madre and mi padre.). I wish you were coming down with me, but seeing as that's not happening, you will have to come visit me, and I will so totally come home to see you. I don't know what I'm going to do next year with out you. You are truly the bestest friend anyone could have. You're the only one I could sing a long to Spice Girls and Nsync like a mad girl.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There's my I miss list. There are many more, but these are the main people who have made a difference in my life.
Now I go and have my torrid affair with my Orlando Bloom.
Sweet dreams. I will miss you all next year. You are all my inspiration.
