Ell-o!

Feb 27, 2007 23:17

I miss my friendships deeply. I'm a senior. I'm leaving. Yet, I feel like the only friends I will have made a lasting connection with are those I made my senior year. After I left for Oxford, I witnessed an inevitable gap cleave its way between me and all my old friendships. This is not anyone’s fault. I'm always doing plays. Everyone is far away.

My name is Jessica. I feel like the closest friendships I have are the ones I made this summer; they definitely talk to me the most. I am in love with a boy named Bryan, and he's so darn cute it's annoying at times (because he totally melts my heart too easily). I wish people knew him, or tried to get to know him. I feel like no one really does, and that's difficult. I am moving to northern california with Bryan after our July wedding, and we are going to live in the coolest hippie town, Arcata (or Eureka... they're seven minutes apart). The area is known for it's primo bud, but I just want a cheap apartment and an okay paying job. I am at home for the semester, and 99 percent of the time I love love love my internship, and I love counseling women. I also really love my church, and I'm learning a lot about God's love, and how I have a small, exclusionist conception of it. I am realizing how much Olivet really made me angry a lot of the time, but I'm pretty much through with it, so why be bitter? I'm learning that complaining ( ... )

Nice to meet you Jess. Glad to hear things are going well! Are you going to be at graduation this year?

Hello Matt. My name is Chris. I've attempted to get to know Amanda and I think she's wonderful, not only for you but for the planet. Also I'm not in love with anyone. I do however have a crush on wonderful girl who's name I shant disclose for personal reasons. I'm moving to London 8 months after graduation. I am working on getting a job with a national magazine and freelance work just about anywhere to save up money for the move to the UK. Before I leave I plan to live with Christopher Ross in downtown Chicago. I, for the first time in my life, am not enjoying taking classes. I'm ready to be done with this part of my life and get to working in the real world. College however I really do enjoy, mostly it's the relationships, friends and memories I've made that I love about it. It's going to be sad when I look up and I don't have the option to be friends with over a thousand people. Also because you rejected the offer I will be participating in Mr. ONU along with Brad Krohe ( ... )

Is your dislike for tristan do irrational?

And, that's awesome that your doin' Mr ONU!! I was a bit upset I couldnt do it but now I am thrilled. You are going to rock!

And, We must salvage are broken bond. It must happen. We will go out and get hot cocoa and you will tell me details about this London thing.

frozenyak February 28 2007, 06:41:43 UTC

Whoops, I meant... is your dislike for tristan really that irrational?

chrismsx February 28 2007, 06:58:45 UTC

haha i don't really dislike him lol but if we had dated and were "hermoe sesuals" it would be a lil irrational.

Yeah we should cause I'm figuring it all out as I go but planning for it now.

Hello Matt, I'm Arissa. I am different people at different times.
I too miss my friendships with people. It feels as though everything has changed. We're falling apart, but the thing is I really think it's for the best and at times I couldn't be happier. A lot of people think I am strong, But I’m not. I am full of insecurities. I have no confidence in myself as a photographer, or in any of my artwork. I don't know what I'm doing with my life. I won't graduate next year because I am behind. I wish I could stumble on a large amount of money so some of my problems will go away. Lately, I've been thinking that maybe I should stop doing photography and maybe do make-up work. But then I will have to start all over. I wish I could be a different person sometimes and that people would like me better. I am not in love, but I have a semi-crush. I think. Because I am so afraid of rejection I won't be able to ask this person out, even though someone close to this person said I have about 95% chance of this person saying yes. I need 100%

frozenyak February 28 2007, 15:07:26 UTC

Hi Arissa! You wouldn't have to start all over if you wanted to try make-up. Get your major in art and then pursue a make-up career. If you want to help with makeup for Godot, just let me know. I've got someone heading up makeup already, but I'm sure they could use another hand or two.

Also, I think you should take that 5% chance. It's better than 100% regret.

i'd love to help out so i could learn more!!

Hi Matt! My name is Sarah (Michelle Conley). I went to Olivet for one year, went to community college, and then wound up down at IU in Bloomington. I'm currently taking an English course on trash and am loving it. We study trash in society and literature and how they relate. It is like this little bubble of relief among the mess of my other classes. I'm looking forward to the warm weather to come back, because this cold is getting very tiresome. I am generally enjoying life, and everyday I am learning more about how God loves me (which is such a good thing to learn :) I'm looking forward to the future, but feel blessed to be in the position I am in right now. I'll be up at Olivet March 15 til St Patty's day, so maybe we'll run into each other. Anyway, it was nice meeting you. Have a lovely day!

frozenyak March 1 2007, 02:52:39 UTC

Sarah, you visiting is going to make this the best St. Patty's day EVER!!! Even sans beer!

swing_low March 1 2007, 16:04:26 UTC

what will make the best St Patty's day EVER is if you cancel that practice on Saturday and go to the parade in Chicago... starts at noon... do it! for the Irish!

swingmetosleep February 28 2007, 19:21:18 UTC

ann. i am one of your oldest friends here. however we never talk anymore, because i tend to live only in the olden days and don't care about the new you.

well, that isn't true...
actually that isn't true at all. i do look back a bit too much sometimes, but i think i've also changed a lot more over the past four years than i thought would be possible. i really love being around you. and amanda is in one of my classes. it's strange that i feel like everyone is sheilded. or i don't know.

but still... bark bark woof, raise the roof.

frozenyak March 1 2007, 02:40:21 UTC

Yes, bark bark woof indeed!

Which class do you have with Amanda?
