Going in chronological order here...
Jayne: Thanks for being my first best friend and playing so many ridiculous games with me. I can still remember the day we caught about fifty rolly pollies and named them all. :P We were so awesome back then. And you're still awesome now! I need to meet your baby girl! She's so cute and she's going to have some awesome adventures of her own. I expect to hear about the ones that sound a lot like ours. :)
Anne: You're seriously the most beautiful girl I know. And I mean inside and out. Like, when I didn't have any friends back in grade school because Emily had ditched me and Jayne had moved to Washington, you still hung out with me. That meant a lot more to me than I can tell you. The fact that you still hang out with me and share so many nerdy jokes with me is kind of amazing. Most girls with your talent and looks would forget about the nerdy best friend they had in grade school. But you're better than that. :) Thanks, love.
Lucy: The only reason I'm posting this is because of you, haha. But you did ask for a completely honest post, and I said I would only give the complete truth if someone asked for it. So here it is: I love you. You were the first real friend I made in high school and I am just overjoyed that we're still as tight as we are. I know we both grew away from each other, because I went chasing boys and you went chasing work, but at the end of the day, you're still one of my best friends and I will always cherish all the good times and laughs that we had together. And, you know, all the illegal things we did together. :P Oh, and mashed potato parties. Those were the best. lol.
Coco: I don't really remember what my first impression of you was, but I know I must have thought you were awesome because you were a drama kid and you got to hang out with all the cool kids (cool kids being the drama kids, of course). And then came choir. We didn't talk much in San Fran, but my senior year we did talk and we really got to know each other, and now I love you. :D Because I can show up at your house at any point of the day and still be offered coffee. And because we can listen to songs about zombies and start a new genre of zombie pop. And because you have always been honest with me, even at great personal risk. I never told you how much it meant to me that you risked everything to tell me the truth. But I think you probably guessed. :) I love you, beautiful, and I can't wait for you to come back so we can have more unplanned moments.
Jenelle: I already wrote to you in a blog, but now I have more to say. Along with not condemning me, you've also helped me get back on track by giving me advice and going shopping with me and just talking with me and being honest. Thanks for being girly and silly with me when I need it most. :) I promise I will do everything I can to help you when you need it. I promise to be here for you and to support you in everything you do. Just like you've done for me. Thank you.
Reesa: Sometimes, I want to strangle you. But most of the time, I don't. And I'm pretty sure the wanting to strangle you is all a part of being best friends and love and stuff. We get on each others nerves and we fight and we stop talking to each other and we make each other cry. But we always make up for it in laughter and love. And when one of us is crying because of something else, we always have each others back. Which is awesome. And when boys are stupid or cute or both at once, it's always nice to know that we can rant to each other and solve the problem by going gay for each other. ;D
Elisabeth: Remember the first day we met each other? I dragged you out of the dorm and into my car so we could go to Giant. And then we ended up buying fifty cent bouncy balls in preparation for future roomie fights. But we never fought and you ended up being like a sister to me. After hearing and seeing so many fall-outs between roommates last year, what we had was probably magical. I'm so sorry I'm not there this year. When you told me you had set up the room the way I'd wanted it, I cried. I wish I was there so badly. Fatty #1 is nothing without her Fatty #2. :(
Stepf: Wifey! I can't believe how long it took for us to become friends. Seriously. What was wrong with us? Anyway, it doesn't matter now since we're married and stuff. :P But, yeah, I just want to say thank you and that I love you. You're always here for me when I need help or advice or just someone to talk to. Even if it's 4 AM your time. I can only hope that I can do the same for you whenever you need it. :)
Nick: You're an ass, but I still love you because you make me laugh and you help me widen my perspective on life by having random philosophical conversations with me. You're also the first real guy best friend I ever made after Matt, and it's nice to have someone I can go to when I'm confused about the inner workings of boys. I miss you and I miss having random adventures with you around Etown. :(
Arslan: I'll start out by telling you that I love you in a completely non-romantic way. :P I know we weren't completely open with each other when I was back there, but I've always had a problem being really honest and close with guys. But we did have some really deep conversations during the school year and we've had a few over the summer, too. For the record, I could NEVER hate you for being honest with me. If anything, when you tell me the whole truth, I love you more for it. It gives you more character, and more character means there's more to love. :)
Sedrick: I know you don't remember the night you asked me to marry you, but I do, and it was probably the most epic proposal in the world. :D Thanks for being my black husband and making me laugh and asking me to marry you. I miss you, sweetheart.
Nicole: I am so glad I got to know you better second semester. The Madlib Summer would have never existed if we hadn't been friends, and OMLS has been the highlight of my year. You always have good advice when I need it and you're always up for a ridiculous story. Thanks for letting me rant and bitch and get everything off my chest. Oh, and thanks for breakfast. :P <3
Rachel: You are just so awesome. Remember that one time at, like, 2 in the morning when I was trying to do laundry and you said something about going out in the snow in a bikini? Do you remember that one time when we actually did it? XD I love that you can come up with the craziest ideas and then follow through with them. Thanks for making a fool of yourself in a bikini in the snow for me. :))) And thanks for doing the OMLS project with me. I don't know if I could make it through this next school year without weekly contact between us all. <3
Lauren: I still fangirl occasionally when you do stuff like show up in Nicole's vlog or follow my blog. :P I'm really glad you didn't think I was a freak for showing up out of the blue and accosting you during lunch, because otherwise our random trip to Philly to meet a boy from London would have never happened, and we wouldn't have gone to see Hank and John in Lancaster together, and we wouldn't have been friends. And I love being your friend. It makes me feel all special. (And the inner fangirl in me feels super important.) Thanks for being awesome! :)
