Copied this from a friend's journal.

Once upon a time, C had an amazing group of friends. Maggie was the best friend she ever had in her life, and even though she and C rarely talk to each other, that bond has not been broken. They still consider each other best friends, no matter how many thousands of miles separate them. Anyway, C took for granted that those friends would always be there. Of course, they were not. Sure, a few friends remained. But it was never the same for C. In the last two years of high school, C faced the hardest thing she had ever gone through in her life. It didn't kill her, so she came out stronger, but in the midst of it, she spent so much time searching everywhere for someone she could actually call a friend, calling out at every corner, screaming out, crying, for someone to understand. But there was no one. A few lent an ear, but no one understood. No one.C didn't find many new friends in high school to replace those who had been taken out of her life. At times she thought she had found people she could trust. But no matter how much she wanted to believe these people were her friends, she could see through the plastic layer they covered themselves with. They were mostly nice to me in order to avoid confrontation. So they could be "everybody's friend." If they showed that they disliked someone, then that person might dislike them back, and that would be unacceptable for their reputation. And most of these people weren't even in "the popular crowd" They never let me into the important things in their lives, and I regret the times I let them in mine. I came back, and really was truly happy to see my friends- the real ones- or so I thought. Now one of them hardly made an effort to see me this trip. We had dinner on Wednesday night. That was all I saw her. "Best friends" for 10 years, and I guess the words "Call me after the game so we can hang out. I haven't seen you in 3 months, and if I don't see you after the game, I won't see you for another month" -yeah I guess those mean nothing. "Call us before you call ___" also apparently means nothing. I have tried for a long time. And now I give up. I guess 10 years means nothing. And I'll look back, and this will be another friendship that lasted so long and nobody really knows why because in the end they just... go their separate ways...


Ok- so now you know why I'm depressed and a little disappointed. My friend posted this earlier today and, even though I wasn't a part of any of it, I was really shaken. I can't exactly identify, but this really got to me and I kind of took a look at myself. I'm so thankful for my friends and family. I'm thankful for all the fun I had in high school and the great experience I had at KHS. As we get ready for the holiday rush, I thought I'd take a little time to say thank you and I love you. I know that this isn't very personal, but if you're reading this you probably know what I'm talking about.

Poop on the yucky weather here!!! Yesterday was so gross with all the rain and tornadoes and today has been like the muggiest day of the year. Tomorrow is going to be better though, and they say that Thanksgiving is going to be cool and crisp. Yay for Texas! I'm a little sleepy and I don't really have anything else to say for now. Happy Thanksgiving :)

So it's been awhile since I last posted... Yeah I really don't have an excuse so I just won't give one. I went to the mall a few days ago and I must say, I'm not really very excited about Thanksgiving this year. I think I'll blame that on the media and stores trying to cash in on Christmas. It's not that I don't like Christmas, but when the stores start decorating this early, it kind of ticks me off. What happened to Thanksgiving? Did I miss the turkey with the parade and football extravaganza? I guess it's silly, but I saw a house last week with Christmas lights and I was actually angry. I always like to do things early, but Christmas lights in the first week of November is just a little much. It probably has something to do with having an early December birthday. I always enjoyed decorating the tree and doing Christmas things at my birthday party and when people start decorating for Christmas now, it really diminishes the effect. So I'm asking you to help cut down on excessive Christmas build- up and buy a turkey.

"Umm bop" went the little green frog one day
"Umm bop" went the little green frog
"Umm bop" went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went "umm bop" too

Yay for Bush winning and the campaign being over. No more listening to Ahwnold chant "fouh mouh yeaws." I'm so glad we didn't have anything like Florida in 2000.

On a different note- Ashy comes home tomorrow and I'm so freakin' excited! I didn't get to see her at all last time she came and I've missed her sooo much. Oh and my other happy thing of the week- Sergio's birthday Sunday. Which of course means one month and two days til my birthday :)

Public Service Announcement-Go vote if you haven't already. Unless you're a Democrat.

OO OO

Yay for cute kids trick-or- treating! We had the cutest little butterfly come by pretty early, and then we got a little Snow White and a Belle that were awfully sweet. Little kids make me laugh.

Anyway, so yeah, fun weekend. I got to see Melanie and Josie :) Crazy kids. Mel's guy sounds interesting, but I definetely think he should change his name to Alexander Hamilton. It just makes good sense. And if it doesn't work out she can always date Santa.

And now for something completely different... Have you ever freaked yourself out for a really stupid reason? No? And I thought I couldn't possibly feel any dumber. Anyway, I just spent the last five or ten minutes scared out of my mind walking around my house playing "try to find the scary sound without waking anyone up or turning any lights on." It was quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever done. It all started when the toilet in the upstairs bathroom flushed by itself. Time out- this makes more sense if you know the circumstances. It's three in the morning Halloween night and I can't sleep so I'm listening to the news and surfing the web. My parents are sound asleep downstairs and my cat, who would normally be keeping me company, is sleeping in the laundry room. And now back to our regularly scheduled program. Ok, so it all started when the toilet flushed by itself. I was okay with this til I heard a strange sound in the hallway near the bathroom. This of course completely freaked me out because I'm just dumb like that. At first I decided to just stay where I was, but then I heard a weird sound downstairs and I was like, "well that settles it. I have to go look." Why I decided to go look I don't know, but to sum up, I found myself standing in the middle of the living room staring at nothing. I realize that this is completely anti-climatic, but that's exactly what happened. And the moral of the story is- Houses make sounds. Deal with it or be prepared to feel stupid.
