tonight was the last night ill see everyone for awhile. pretty much everyone leaves for college first thing tomorrow morning. matt picked me up with tim and timmy o and we went to neals house for our last game of poker. felong, his girlfriend, chris, amanda, tim, carl, timmy o, spencer, me, matt, neal and tom were all there. tom left early, around 10. eventually, carl and felong won. neal came in third. we waited outside for chris and amanda to come back. i guess amanda had to say goodbye to someone. after they got back, we all decided to go to friday's. when we got there it was closed, but we met rachel there and decided to go to applebee's instead. we all had a good time just talking there and everything. i didnt talk much though. i sort of just looked around the table at everyone, thinking about things. after we got out, we took some pictures of all of us together. hopefully theyll be online soon, i really want a picture of all of them. after that everyone said goodbye before we all went to everyones cars to go home. hugs, handshakes, etc. everyone took it really hard. it didnt really hit me hard until i got in matt's car. we played every song off matt's ipod that we listened to so much and had great memories with. there were so many memories coming back just even sitting in that car to begin with, it would take me all night to list them all. im going to miss everyone so much i don't even know how im going to deal with it when i wake up in the morning.
i remember i started hanging out with everyone when i got on the hockey team. it was a skate and shoot at the roller rink, and after we picked teams, i ended up with capriotto and bagwell. they didnt know me that well at all at the time, but i remember we started talking because i overheard them say "funeral for a friend" in conversasion. they were pretty surprised i even knew who that band was, so we got to talking more, and i ended up on their team in the actual league. matt and chris started inviting me over to people's houses to play poker, and thats how i met everyone else.
i remember the first time i ever met tim k. we couldnt find anywhere to play poker, so everyone came to my house. thats the first time i ever saw tim. he was really quiet at the time, but cool. eventually, tim, matt and chris started bringing their guitars over, and we started playing together. we had a couple great practices at joe's house, and even though we really never even decided on a name, for a little while there we had a band that sounded great. the only time we ever got to play in front of people was at felong's grad party. no drummer, me and tim playing acoustics, and matt singing. everyone really liked matts song, and that just made it all worth it.
these were all the kids i party with. and hell, i havent even mentioned so many other people ill be missing yet. jimmy, willet, zebb, webber, brooks, all of them. we had some great parties, whether it was at webber's, matt's, or jimmy's house it was always a good time. when people were drunk, we took care of each other, much unlike the douche bags in my grade. when were pissed at each other, we'd just wrestle to get it out of our systems, never any of this talking shit and fighting crap that people in my grade pull. i learned alot from everyone. they're all different kinds of freind than ive ever had before, where we all liked each other just because we hung out together so much. just seeing each other, driving around without anywhere to go was such a great time. i'm really gonna miss all of you guys so much you have no idea. i don't know how soon you'll have your computers up when you get to school, or if you'll even remember to read my livejournal like i know you guys do sometimes, but when and if you see this just leave me a comment or something to i know whats up with you guys.
