I am what I am.

Most people that know me know that I wear my heart on my sleeve, my pocket, my pants, just about every where it’s visible. I had one of the hardest questions asked to me, or one of what I think is the hardest. “How would you describe yourself?”
But I decided I would give it a try.

I am the Circle I am my friends I should say, though the Circle makes up a big chunk of it, I do have friends I hold near and dear outside. These are in no particular order.

Sara: Sara, my anime buddy, opener of new fandoms and all around great person. You’ve listened to me rant about things some other people just don’t get. You’ve helped me relax around other people and made me realize not everyone expects me to be perfect. From being my Anime buddy, my con buddy or the walks we take when one of us just can’t stand being in our respective houses. Crazy conversations on the way to and from school, giving me rides (even though you hate it). All of these things and many other things I’m not sure how to put into words makes you awesome. I hope I’ve made it clear in the years I’ve known you how much you’ve shaped me as a person and my world views. You’re a sister to me.

Nikki: Mutual bitching buddy. You and I haven’t known each other very long in relation to how long we’ve known other people in the circle, but I count you as one of my closest friends. You’re someone who doesn’t mind me crying, and who I don’t mind crying around. As well as helping me with my Real Life problems, you are my Persona buddy. We’ll beat that damn game somehow.

Katie: Though we just really started talking again this year, you and I knew each other when we where little. We both got bullied by the same person (ewwww, Rachel, and not as in Woody) You pick up on things people miss with me sometimes, and know when to leave me alone, or when to push it to find out what’s really bugging me. You’re going through hard times right now, but you’ll make it through them because you’re stronger than all this. Whatever happens, whatever you need me for or I need you for we’re friends.

Woody: Sometimes I’m not sure how much of you we all really see, but whatever amount it is you are an awesome person. You’ve introduced me to some good books, listened to me rant listlessly about everything from what crazy book I just read to more personal things. Keep on rocking; you’ll be one hell of a Doctor.

Brendan: Life has kinda screwed you over right now. Despite that you’ve managed to keep things together as humanly possible. You’re the person in the circle that can understand the thrill of doing great in a performance, or the feeling of “fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff-“ when you do no so hot. So keep doing what you’re doing, and you’ll come out fine, it’s something you just have to put your head down on and try to make it though. You will though, I’m here if you ever need me though.

Amanda: Jew, you’re amazing. You have a lot of shit you deal with, but still manage to come to school with a smile and a good laugh. Your art makes me smile, because it’s something that is so far removed from what I normally see. It’s amazing in its own right and I hope you keep it up. You’ve also seen my darker side from middle school when I was a prat, and have given me a chance anyways. Thank you, I don’t know if you realize how grateful I am for that.

Dakota: You, my middle school punching bag. You’ve grown up a lot, and not let how I acted then effect us being friends now. It’s great of you, thank you for being the tool and giving me many heartfelt lols on days when I’m down.

Brian: My first name, your last name, pain in the rear for both of us. I first met you freshmen year P.E. but we didn’t really hang out. But when I joined the Circle I got to know you, and I can say you’re a pretty awesome guy. Don’t lose that awesome.

Mariah: My hug buddy! You never turn down a hug, and are someone who is always wearing a smile. Thank you, it’s nice to have someone walk in and be a morning person besides me.

Paige: Our level head, the strict mommy and so many other things. You’re the voice of reason so many of us miss collectively, and I swear my conscience has started to sound like you (mostly in relation to not procrastinating)

Autumn: You are someone that makes me feel safe, physically and emotionally. I’m not sure what to put here, there are ways you’ve helped me that are hard to put into words, so here are two that cum it up as much as it can be. Thank you

Michelle: When I first met you, you intimidated me a little. You are strong without having to shove it out there, which to me is an amazing thing. Our walks out from the village every day are going to be something I remember very well, the times I remember from high school. You make me green with envy, because I know I’ll never be half the writer you are, but I’m happy for you. It’s so much a part of you. Where ever you chose to go with your life, I know you’ll make it.

Trent: You’re someone that when I’m tripping over my words, comes up with what I’m trying to say. You’re patient with me, I know I can be annoying. Sci-fi as lit and Art History have been a blast.

Will: You and I have been through a lot. Sometimes things are still awkward, but that’s okay it’ll pass with time. No matter what’s happened, you’ve been an amazing friend to me. You have great things ahead of you, and don’t let any thing that’s happened stop them from happening. Take a deep breath, you can do these things. I know it because you have opportunities and abilities that will lead you there if you take them. You’re important to whom I’ve become as a person, and I’ve learned a lot of things from you, if you know it or not. We’ve gone different ways in some areas, but you’re a great friend, and always will be.

Krystal: Tangent, rp buddy. Spent a lot of time on the phone buddy. There are things that we’ve dealt with that are better left out of writing, but you know them. We’ll continue to be close, because out of every one I know, you understand best that distance has little to do with it. Never hesitate to come to me with something, I’m your friend, it’s what I’m here for.

Brooke: You’re amazing, beautiful and a great person. Never let anyone tell you otherwise. We haven’t known each other for all that long, but sometimes time just isn’t a factor in these things.

Sammy: You’re near and dear to me, and have shared some things it’s hard for people to understand. Thank you for being there for me.

I won’t tell you all to never change, because that is the nature of things, to change. But I will say that there’s very little that could change the influence every single one of you has had on me. Family bonds are as strong as ours. Thank you.
