| this is just the beginning...so, i'm still not over the fact that i have OFFICIALLY graduated ... i wasn't all that enthusiastic at the actual graduation- it may have been one of the most boring things in my life. i'm really glad that all that's over with.
when i woke up today, i said to myself... i'm not going to cry and i'm not going to be sad. well i didn't cry and i'm not really sad- just confused. these last few months, i've been like... when is this going to be over (don't get me wrong, i'm definately glad i'm done with high school), but after hanging out tonight with basically all of the people i've been BEST FRIENDS with throughout high school, i started to think... in a couple months, things are not going to be the same. yea, most of us are staying around here for a year or two but things are going to be different.
i think about all the memories i've shared with everyone throughout the last few years... club zero, going to haunted places, hanging out in parking lots, cosmic bowling, chilling at people's houses, camping/fishing. those were the good days... drama- free for the most part... as i look back on everything, it's not so much about where we were or what we did but the people we shared it with that made these times so fun. even though i haven't hung out with a lot of "the guys" lately, i'll never forget all of the fun we've had together. in the last year, we've somewhat grown apart and i don't really know what happened. but if i had to do it all over... i wouldn't change a thing. yea, there were some rough times with my family and friendships and even though my senior year was pretty sucky, i learned a lot from it and became a stronger person.
to all my best guys: keith, drew, joey, jeffy, chrissyboy, kevin, etc...(sorry if i missed anyone and in no particular order)... sometimes i don't think you guys realize how much you mean to me... almost all of us have had our ups and downs and even at some point in time, we may have not been friends at all. i just wanted to let you guys know how much you all mean to me. i know i may be a bitch sometimes and i just wanted to thank you for putting up with me. i've known some of you forever and others for not that long, but all of us have had some great times together. no matter what happens and no matter how far away we move from each other, i hope that all of us will stay in touch. you guys have made my high school years so much better and out of all of the people i could've been friends with... i'm glad i shared these years with all of you. we've made memories that i'll never forget!
keith- i've known you since 6th grade and i never thought we'd end up being as good of friends as we've become. even when i didn't talk to anyone else really, you were the only one that still called me... even without having a reason, just to talk. i know that i can tell you anything and not worry about all of huber heights knowing. we always have sooo much fun no matter what we do and i know that whatever we end up doing in the future, that you and i will always be friends...
joey- hmmm... where to begin... you and i have had an odd relationship. tonight was the first time i've seen/talked to you in a really long time, but i'm really glad we did. when i first met you in mrs. knepp's class, i thought you were weird (and i still think you are lol) and you thought i was really annoying. who would've ever thought we'd be friends?! we've DEFINATELY had our ups and downs but we always end up being friends in the long run. i hope that us being friends never changes. sometimes we don't talk to each other for months, but when we do it's like nothing has changed. no matter how bad of a mood i'm in, you out of all people can make me laugh- that's what i love about you. there's been times when i have really disliked you but i hope you know that even if we don't talk for years, if you ever needed me, i'd do ANYTHING for you...
jeffy- i didn't meet you until my sophomore year and i had never seen/ heard of you until you came to a cookout at father's house in the back of joey's ford ranger. your looks and style have changed a lot since then, but you're still the fun person i met almost 3 years ago. out of everyone, you and i have never really fought or argued and we've always stayed in touch (for the most part). any time i need someone to talk to, i know i can always call you because i know you'll listen to all of my problems and do whatever you can to help. you and joey are some of the craziest people i've ever met, but also some of the best friends i could've ever asked for.
chrissyboy- we used to hate each other (and be really mean) but i'm glad that we became friends in the long run. even when i first started hanging out with everyone, we still didn't really get along, but somehow along the way we ended up becoming good friends. you're more like a brother to me than any of the other guys because i've known you for so long and we fight all the time... you and i definately have a love/hate relationship... like we're mean to each other but we just ignore what the other one says. your friendship means a lot to me. (and sorry about making you cry in 7th grade lol)
drew- you are honestly one of the best friends i've ever had. sometimes i get mad at you cuz you're really bad about calling people back, but i get over it... there's been times when we've lost touch but you and i both know that that will never happen again, RIGHT?! any time i'm feeling down you always know how to cheer me up and say something inspirational to brighten my day. anytime you're around someone, you put a smile on their face. you're a GREAT friend and a GREAT person. i know that when we say bye on the phone and tell each other "I LOVE YOU" that we mean it because you're my best friend and that will NEVER EVER change. if it wasn't for you, i don't know if i would be as good of a person as i am today. you have impacted my life for the better and been an awesome friend. i cannot be in your presence and not have a good time, because just being around you is fun. i love you drury and i know that we will be friends forever.
kevin- BFF! we are the coolest people i know. no matter what we do, whether it's sitting at your house, driving around, or goin to parties,we always have so much fun! i love how i can completely be myself around you and tell you anything. we're always there for each other no matter what because that's what best friends are for. you've been there for me when no one else was and you always got my back. plenty of times, you've been my shoulder to cry on, and vice versa. i hope that no matter who our boyfriend/girlfriend is or what happens with all that, that nothing changes between us and our friendship. you know that i love you, skylar, and your family more than anything and there's nothing i wouldn't do for any of you. even though i've only known you for like a year and a half, it seems like we've been friends forever and we always will be. love ya kev!
and to my best friend in the whole world... EMILY ANN ELZHOLZ- we may not hang out all that much and not really even talk that often, but YOU ARE TRULY MY BEST FRIEND, no questions asked. i know that i can count on you for anything. we've been friends since 7th grade and haven't had a fight yet. we always make each other laugh and i honestly don't know what i'd do without you. you are a beautiful and wonderful person, inside and out. if someone asks me who my best friend is, i say you. if someone asks me who the funnest person i know is, i say you. and if someone asks me, who, 50 years from now will you still be friends with, i say you. and that will never ever change. i could not ask for a better friend and even though i mostly hang out with guys, you are like the only true girl friend i've ever had that has never betrayed me or chose your boyfriend over me and i really don't know what i would do without you. you are my peaches!
to all my other friends- sorry if i didn't mention some of you... love you too!
so this is the longest entry i've ever wrote, but i'm really glad i did and i applaud everyone who actually read it. even if some of us 10 years from now are not still in touch (which i hope doesn't happen) i wish all of you one thing.... some of you might be rich, some of you might be famous, but most of you will probably be normal people, with normal jobs, and normal families. but no matter who you marry, what you do for a living, and how sweet of a car you have, i wish all of you HAPPINESS! you may be successful or rich or have a huge house with a family, but if you're not happy, then none of that even matters. life's not going to be easy after high school... and i honestly have no idea where i'll be a year from now. but even if we aren't friends later on in life, i hope that someday you'll look back and remember me. maybe not as the coolest person you knew, or your very best friend, but i hope you can look back on some of the memories we had and say... Courtney Pelfrey- we had some good times, some good laughs and at some point in time, she made my life a little better... that's how i want to be remembered...
*sometimes the time just slips away and you're left with yesterday, left with the memories. i'll always think of you and smile and be happy for the time i had you with me. though we go our seperate ways, i won't forget the memories we made...*
*it's something unpredictable, but end the end it's right, i hope you had the time of your life...*
*it's a bittersweet goodbye, but i'm not gonna cry... these have been the best years of my life, so i'm not gonna cry...*
*here's to the nights we felt alive, here's to the tears you knew you'd cry, here's to goodbye tomorrow's gonna come too soon...*
*as we go on, we remember, all the times we had together. and as our lives change, from whatever, we will still be FRIENDS FOREVER!*
~*DON'T FORGET TO REMEMBER ME!*~
