on the horizon: a bittersweet goodbye to a pleasant surprise

looking through old entries i came across this: (from october 3rd)

(recapping my UA schedule)

"F Period- Photo Projects (the pretty foreign exchange student is in my class ;). "

i honestly thought nothing would become of this^. i thought it would go down as another anecdote in my endless history of idle crushes, and she would leave at the end of

raffi, do you remember our outrageous banana split? things have been a lot like that lately- sometimes very sweet, sometimes terrible, always supposedly outrageous but there's little breaks in between. i think it would be best if shared with friends. i'm here in new zealand and last night i had a bizarre dream with you and paolo in it, i've been having bizarre dreams every night. i guess i just wanted to let you know i'm thinking of you, and i'm procrastinating walking up the huge hill in the dark back to where i'm living tonight. i really want to be there for you to vent and hang out with and let me know all about your love, but i can just say that it'll all work out in a funny way, even if it's not the way you want or expect. as cheesy and cliche as that sounds, i've found it's usually true and usually a lot more complex. c'est la vie. that's french for "this god character has got one freakin weird sense of humor". i love you, good luck and laugh a lot and wish me the same, i'll see you before too long!

thanks jerm. for sharing that outrageous monster of a banana split, and for being here for me. you still are in spirit, i take your advice wherever i go. i'm sure life will work it's funny little path, and i wont fret when the road forks.. take care, good luck, and laugh until your belly button bleeds.

i feel you, raffi! enjoy your last few days with her, and don't think too much about her leaving, just enjoy the time you have with her, honestly. are you going to keep in touch with her???

i am, i shall, i will. i dunno how exactly we'll keep in touch, but we will. it might be painful, but no pain... no gain...?

well first off, i just have to pat myself on the back because i'm psychic & new something was bound to happen. secondly, raffi, i'm glad you guys are having your time & i'm sure minutes feel like seconds with her, so enjoy every goddamn second. of course you can't keep counting down the days 'till the day she leaves, but keep in mind she is going & making the most out of it is exactly what you should be doing. i am so0 nauseously(word? who cares!) happy for you. im glad after the "BAD STREAK" (of ladies) you have her. kiss her 'till she's blue. i hear girls like that shit haha.
