Why is it that my blogs always have to be about sad things and serious things and stuff like that?

They don't. So now, I am going to do an entry that is not like that! Woooo.
I'm not really sure what I'm going to write about. I just know I'm sick of the sadness.
Because, as a wise ginger once said, being sad is a waste of time.

Something I am beginning to realize is that people leave you behind. They move on with their lives and lose contact with you. Even now, I know that so many awesome people I got close with this year are moving on. They're going on to college and into the real world. And, we probably won't stay in contact. I know that.
However, I'm not terribly upset about this. I mean, I'm sure I'll miss them sometimes. And having to lose people is always a bit sad. But what's important is that we will always be in each other's hearts. I have made so many amazing memories with these people, and had so much fun with them. And I know that even though we are going to split up and take different paths in life, growing farther and farther apart, I will always have those memories. Even when I'm 40 years old and don't talk to any of these people and only think of them in passing, I WILL think of them. When I think sophomore year,
I will think the roof of a parking garage.
I will think Bubble Island.
I will think Jamaican Me Crazy Wednesday.
I will think of the Meijer lounge.
I will think Insomnia Cookies.
I will think Jeremiah's car.
I will think Subway.
I will think Barnes and Noble.
I will think Pinball Pete's.
I will think of that one really extremely cold day where we all sprinted from Lee's van everywhere we went because it was too goddamn cold to be outside for more than 10 seconds.
I will think of the demon spawn of Hailey Van Buren and Dylan, and I will think of the first time Logan and Eddie got Chipotle and told us how amazing it was.
I will think of the first time I saw James smile, really smile, and how it seemed to light up the whole room.
I will think of the day there was an hour wait for laser tag on Gareth's birthday, so we went to the mall instead and sat at the tiny chairs in the food court, talking about how the tables were for Asian people (me and everyone else were on two totally separate pages XD), and getting yelled at by an Asian security guard.
I will think about being in Gamestop and finding out Michael Jackson was dead.
I will think of Alsatia and Jeremiah betting over who would win at Mario Kart, and it suddenly became a battle of the sexes, with all the girls cheering Alsatia on to fight for womankind and all the guys doing the same for Jeremiah (except, you know, with mankind).
I will think of ranting to Logan and Jeremiah after a disastrous shopping trip.
I will think of the first time Eddie looked through my iPod, and his eyes lit up.
I will think of Sir Chester Pinkerton III.
I will think of Logan, Jeremiah, and I rocking out to Motion City Soundtrack and other various music, singing at the top of our lungs.
I will think of the concert on November 13th.
I will think of that day everyone else went to formal and I hung out with Audrey, Gareth, Alsatia, and Josh.
I will think of walking all the way to Logan's house on an extremely zombie-apocalypse-esque night because goddamnit there was something we had to tell him no matter what, and then turning around literally 3 feet before we got to his driveway.
I will think of battles on the playground, chasing Gareth around with a Nerf sword.
I will think of those suspicious condom-pills that Audrey received under suspicious circumstances from a suspicious old woman.
I will think of late night AIM conversations.
I will think of Josh and Logan talking to each other about Paranormal Activity, and how amusing and awesome it was to watch them converse with each other.
I will think of the whole group playing Mario Kart at my house, rocking out to great music and having a blast.

I love all those memories. They are so precious to me, and always will be. The people in them will always be. They'll always be there in my heart, and I know I will always be there in theirs.
And even though I will never have times like that again, and even though we'll lose contact, I know that in the future there will be more new and exciting things to experience, new people to meet, and more fun to be had.

Logan, Jeremiah, Lee, Eddie, Gareth, Audrey, James. I got to spend one year with you guys. One short year. And yet, one amazing, extremely fun, hilarious, eye-opening year. In one year, you guys taught me so much. You showed me so much that I had never experienced before, and never would've without you. I owe you guys so much, but the beauty of it is I know that you guys don't see it that way. You were just being yourselves. So, thank you. Thank you for being you. Thank you for giving me a glimpse into your world; teaching me the fun that high school was really about. I love you guys, and no matter where we all go, no matter how far apart we become, that will always remain true.

(Hah, this is what happens when I try to do a random entry. It becomes serious anyway. But, this one wasn't sad, so my goal is achieved! :D)
