I totally steal things from people
So today Di said I needed to update again, so I decided to put off writing my English essay for a bit and copy everyone with this "fifteen statements-thingy."
1. I've known you forever, but every time I hang out with you I feel like we get closer. I used to feel like others were taking time away from the two of us, but now I realize that you care as much about me as I do about you. I wish we'd been closer when we were younger; I wish I was there for you more when you were in trouble. For now I'll just try to make up for lost time.
2. Our friendship was off and on for a while, but we've worked at it and I really like the present situation. For years I worried about you, comforted you, but you're okay, and that makes me smile everyday. You're one of the most serious people I know, but when you feel like it, you can really make me laugh.
3. You won't read this, but I'll write it anyway. You're a great friend, and you've done so much for me, but I can't help but worry that you'll end up alone. You don't tell me anything about yourself, and I feel like I open up so much to you. I want to fit your standards, I hate it when you look down on me or other people. At times I want to yell at you for judging others so, but just like you I hide myself sometimes.
4. You are one of the most energetic people I know, but you also can be one of the laziest. Your moods tend to be somewhat mercurial, but when it comes down to it, you are a loyal friend. When I need to have a serious conversation, you're willing to listen, and I really appreciate that. We share secrets, and you never make fun of the things that matter most to me. We may not hang out for days or weeks, but I always have a good time when we do.
5. Sometimes you're just too smart. I am in awe of your incredible brain, though at times you tend to think before you speak. You're a little awkward in large groups, but I can understand that, since you're not a very social person. However, you've found your niche and have a group of friends I don't even know, which makes me really proud of you.
6. I've only known you for 3 years but that doesn't really make a difference. You are carefree, light-hearted, and continuously bouncing off the walls. When I'm stressed out and angst-ridden, you provide a nice break from it all. We don't hang out for months at a time, but each time we do I'm totally happy. You can be a bit frustrating with all of that energy, but your smile is infectious and I fully intend to spend more time with you.
7. Last year we were really close, and now I feel like we're going away from each other. I see you do these things that I don't approve of, but you're your own person, so I can't really stop you. The things that I thought were cute and okay last year now seem immature and inappropriate. At times I enjoy hanging out with you, but in the end I can't stop my disapproval from tainting our friendship. You're just too loud sometimes.
8. I've known you for the last 5 years, but the last 2 have been the most important. It's odd, but I feel as though we connect more when we IM than in person. You are hilarious, insightful, and oh so intelligent you make me ashamed of myself sometimes. You're younger than me, but remain my mother hen and personal editor. Your writing astounds me, and I only wish I could be as mature and thoughtful as you. I'll miss you when you go, but I hope we'll stay in touch, because I'm not exactly sure how my writing will manage without you.
9. I could probably count the number of days we've spent together over the past 5 years on one hand, but every one of those days has been a blast. You're so witty and intelligent, successful and humble, and damn lucky - I am blessed in my own life, but sometimes I wish I had gotten some of your blessings, too.
10. It's been over a year now. So many years spent pining for you, and it ended with nothing. I suppose I could be bitter again, but to be frank, I don't think it's worth the effort. I wish you the best of luck in the world and with other girls, but for us, it's over.
11. You are tooth-achingly sweet, but it is endearing. I really don't know anyone nicer than you. You come up with all these brilliant ideas on life, and we have the most interesting philosophical discussions sometimes. I'll miss our classes together next year, but hopefully we'll start anew with different teachers and subjects.
12. I don't know you as well as I do the others, and that bothers me sometimes. I wish we were at least trying to get to know one another, but I feel like you have even less desire to than I do. Sometimes I am envious of your friendships with the other two, but I understand that you were there at a time when I was not, and different circumstances may have led us different ways. You will share some things with them that I will never hear, and I will do the same.
13. You are a super-genius, and sometimes you are haughty because of this. I wish you weren't so held back by your family, but you've rebelled in your own way. I am certain that one day you will change the world.
14. You will certainly never see this, but as long as we're being anonymous, it doesn't really matter. I think you are so very cute, and I haven't told anyone else about it. I watch you in class sometimes, and wish that you would notice me, but that's highly unlikely, and for now, I'm simply happy to enjoy the eye-candy.
15. I really miss you. We were so close before, but we haven't talked in months. I want to go visit you - I wish you would come visit me. I hope you come north for school, so we can at least spend time together then. Sometimes I wonder if we will have anything in common when we meet again, but I have faith - even if we change in appearance, we both carry our friendship in our hearts.
I'll be impressed if you can figure these out - they're more just introspective crap for myself.
Catch ya on the flip side.
