| well, summer has officially started, and as always, i'm filling out one of those school's-done-name-the-people-who's-brought-you-to-who-you-are-now-in-a-good-way-cos-you're-not-a-bitch survey. not in any particular order. i changed the context of some of the questions so yeah - don't eat me. oh, and xangans, you need not read this cos it might put you to sleep.
tagging whoever wishes to be taggedth. excuse the cliche friendship mushiness. that's the way it goes. 
photo: taken in geography camp, a few weeks ago. it was free time, and everyone was either frolicking in the swimming pools or frolicking with boys, so we ventured to the beach. but that was before we got bitten by ants.
how and when you met her: i met her a good 8 years ago, in the 2nd grade, but honestly, i think we only really became best friends 3 years ago.
highs: everyday i get to spend with her, outside or inside of school. i might have to add though, this girl got people together to pay for an electric guitar for my birthday. thankyouthankyouthankyou.
it's funny how i can't finish writing this; there's always something to add.
lows: there isn't really one. but there was a period where she wouldn't admit that there's something on her mind.
why you would shrivel up without her: she is the only person i can share comfortable silences with, and laugh about it. frankly, we don't need photos, inside jokes, quotes, songs, presents to show we're best friends. we really, just are. though, we do have a lot of spastic photos, a buttload of inside jokes we probably don't remember, presents and cards that i still keep from my 8th birthday.
what she needs to know: i will allow your vanity, really i would, because there is so little of it. too little in fact. "f is for friends who do stuff together,
u is for you and me!
n is for anywhere, anytime at all!
down here in the deep blue sea." 
photo: the day after we had a surprisingly good time @ swee's party, the day you sleptover, the day you let yourself go, the day we froze ourselves in the swimming pool.
how and when you met her: i knew her from school, but i only started talking to her online because i was intrigued by the cows on her display picture. thank god for cows!
highs: just everytime i get to talk to her in and outside of school and online. we have buttloads of spastic moments - i'm beginning to think we influence this insanity.
lows: well, we had that one fight, but i guess fights do us justice too.
why you would shrivel up without her: mannnnnn, i really would. i tell her everything, and when something remotely interesting happens, "i must tell nicole the minute i see her" or "i can't wait to tell nicole" or "i have a new found love for toe socks" comes to mind. talking to her is as natural as eating apples on a stick. (that's natural, fyi.)
what she needs to know: you are amazing, in everyway. don't let anyone tell you otherwise, especially not her. - points at girl with really bad mop hair - "all my life i've been searching for you,
how did i survive in this world before you?
cos i don't wanna live another day without you now!
this is the best thing,
the best thing that could be happening
and i think you would agree
the best thing is that it's happening to you and me" 
photo: during prom, last year. there's really nothing special about this photo, apart from the fact that we've gotten closer and closer as friends ever since.
...and that there's a rather scary looking person at the back.
how and when you met her: it's funny, i actually remember how i met her. in school, when we stirred up generic conversation, and when she moved to my math class.
highs: endless, i should hope. we've gotten through some pretty tough stuff, but thankfully, together. you know, scary conniving bitchy friends, ignorant guys, the like. ah, and the times we've spent playing and singing apologize + almost lover.
lows: hmmmm. none really. except for the times we've spent dancing together to flo-rida. - kneeslaps -
why you would shrivel up without her: well...she's always my transport to parties and stuff. haha :D
okay, and honest to god, she helped me through a lot, and she's always always always there when i set myself to panic, or breakdown or the like. and we have tonnes of fun.
what she needs to know: you are, indeed, pretty, smart, funny and talented. and you'll find someone that will appreciates you so, like i do. and in time, you'll realize that without the likes of facebook. "here's to the girls on their boards with bruises and scars
here's to the girls whose fingers bleed from playin guitar
here's to anyone who never quit when things got hard
you'll never let them say you'll never get that far we are fire inside, we are an army asleep
we are a people awaking to follow their dreams
we don't have time for your games
we have our own goals to score
there are trophies to win instead of being one of yours" 
photo: outside my mom's pub. the day we were planning our joint party.
how and when you met her: i met her in school, and we started talking a lot online. ironically, i still remember the first 2 screen names she had. the 1st was a line from beautiful soul by jesse mccartney and the other one was something about giving a girl a fake rose. heh.
highs: haha. we had a lot of highs. i can't recall how many times we've spent together jumping around giggling about our boyfriends, and oh, playing the impossible quiz @ 3 in the morning. and also, she got me that electric guitar too.
lows: oh well. none really. we don't talk anymore. but we're still here, so i'm thinking we're both doing pretty good. : )
why you would shrivel up without her: hahahaa. i wouldn't. evidently. but i do miss her sometimes. i'm going to regret not talking to her, i know it.
what she needs to know: buds over studs, chicks before dicks, hoes before bros, um. yeah. 
i am extremely cautious with writing this because i know you can read this. : ) photo: taken at a party. (i'm not in this) he's the dude with the really cheesy grin. :D the first time i really talked to him actually.
how and when you met him: i knew him from ict class, but i've never really actually talked to him until a certain party. so that would be, a few months ago.
highs: hm. the fact that i got to know him. and god, i don't know how many times he's heard this, but he's really funny. :D and amazing with words...except he never uses punctuation online.
lows: uhh. uhh. uhhh. he insulted my taste in music. i love britney spears! and paris hilton!
why you would shrivel up without him: i'd say i wouldn't, but i would. it's odd to trust someone within such a small space of time (i know i know, physics), but i do. and i'd be very depressed without his wit and supply of food.
what he needs to know: generic conversation is fine with me. "i...
just...wasted...
10...seconds...
of...your...life." 
hi jon! photo: evidently...i'm not in this photo. :D i don't know where this was taken, but it's rather blue looking and his favorite color's blue so. seeeee? connections!
how and when you met him: i knew him since year 3, and he was really mean back then. i think it was him that made fun of my drawings of the powerpuff girls. it was a sad day.
anyway, we only got talking in secondary.
highs: imagine my surprise when you felt the same way. : )
there are quite a few, but the one i remember the most was the first time we talked over the phone (properly anyway), when nicole and i were by the pool. things were unravelled, and poof! i'm not such a deceiving bitch after all. (she might say otherwise though...)
lows: just the fact it was hard to let go of his old habits.
why you would shrivel up without him: because for some strange, twisted, screwed up reason, we haven't given up yet.
what he needs to know: tell me, tell me, what makes you think that you are invincible? i can see it in your eyes that you're so sure, please don't tell me that i'm the only one that's vulnerable - impossible. "hey jon, don't be afraid
you were made to go out and get her
the minute you let her under your skin
then you begin to make it better.
well don't you know that its a fool who plays it cool?
by making his world a little colder hey, jon! Don't let her down
you have found her, now go and get her
remember, to let her into your heart
then you can start to make it better." 
photo: taken on the night before she left for perth (FOREVER!), doing what we do best - bad karaoke.
how and when you met her: i met her in year 7. we started off on a bad foot, but we got to know each other through a friend, and we've been close ever since year 9 - good deal, i should think.
highs: all the crazy times we've spent in the malls, movies, foosball, shopping la di da di da. the tremendous amount of time we've spent talking. and also, the late night calls she must endure in my time of, - ahem - need. it's a hard time! listening to me rant and cry at 3 in the morning.
lows: uh. i don't know, just the fact that she had to move to perth is bad enough.
why you would shrivel up without her: i adore her company. it's not particularly how good her advice is, or how funny she is, but her just being around is enough.
what she needs to know: you don't always need to try and be controversial and different. and, you? people pleaser? please, there's no one to please. i missed a lot people, i know.
i should probably make a post on xangans too. : ) |
