Come back.
I don’t like this. I don’t like this lack of presence - your presence.
There are apologies left unsaid, and there were cordial, polite nods to the people I used to know. I almost cried during graduation, knowing that, that would probably be the last time each and every one of us would be forced together in one area.
I’ll miss Johnny’s jell-os; they were the jell-oest.
I’ll miss Jackie’s big old head; he was my only competition.
I’ll miss Kim’s punny jokes; I always seemed to hear them - every single one.
I’ll miss Helen’s burps; again, I was the only one who heard them.
I’ll miss hugging Catnhi - only her. I kid.
I’ll miss trying to hide John from Coach Galt; there were hits and misses.
I’ll miss inviting Micaela to my games; she never went.
I’ll miss D’el’s smile; it could seriously light up the entire room.
It’s so bittersweet. I can’t believe we’re all going our separate ways. Best of luck to everyone; I hope better things await us.
Our group pictures; we’ve lost and gained some. Through it all, some of them have become incredibly important to me.
(The most current one is the largest picture, then it goes from oldest to newest from left to right.)

and I feel nothing, really. How anticlimactic. Actually, I’m fairly relieved that I won’t be seeing some of those faces.
Cheers to outgrowing the high school years.
My super rad friend Ansley made me a mix cd yesterday and this song was on it.
Now I’m obsessed. One hundred percent totally obsessed.
Out on the Town - Fun.
