::Things Are Looking Up Now::
it has been such a long time since i've updated. a lot of stuff has been going on. i have been able to spend time with some of the best people ever. i am so glad i was able to see them! i've just kinda been out of the ring and unknowing of what was going on... it was nice to catch up! a lot of people came over on monday and we played the lap dance game! yeah, sounds funny, but i swear it's clean! it's kinda like "i've never" only when you've done something, you move to the seat to your right. if there's somebody there, then you sit in their lap. it was really funny to learn all this stuff about people. there were some pretty good questions.
last night ari and merissa were over at josh's house, and they called to get me to come over. i'm really glad i was able to go over. first we played pool. it was me and merissa against ari and josh. merissa and i really won. i had some greeat moves that inevetably caused the q-ball to go off the table, but hey, that's alright! we're still winners! after that, they all ate, and then we went for a walk! on the trail in the dark! it was really pretty! the moon was so bright. i wish we could do that more often. after we got back to the house, we watched "crash". that movie is a heart stopper! it's really good! i deffinitely recomend it for all you folks to see.
okay, and since it's a new year, i have done some stuff to look back over the past year...

Even if I feel a certain way, I need to be careful about who my real friends are and who I tell. Even though they may seem like real friends, they can become backstabbers the first time you look away. But, despite all that, the true friends just flourish in the friendship. You guys, I love you all.
