no and yes...*warning - long entry...
ok...so it's official...i'm packed and heading for home...
i will be on a plane in 7 hours...and arriving in houston at 10:00pm...
am i glad to be going home? let's just say it'll be a bittersweet moment as i get touched in various places at the security checkpoint. so...no and yes.
the "no" part...
these past 3 months have flown by. all thanks to the many who have permanently etched their tiny footprints into my liver (and btw...my liver hates you for it). in no particular order: meky - you would definitely have to be considered as the best host ever. you took me with you everywhere even though you had to drive way outta your way. and i thank you. i'll never forget how we sat at our computers and talked about what we should do for hours...and then end up being too lazy to do anything at all. haha. i'll never forget being rebels and stalking lc and heidi. man...those were some good times. we look back and laugh now...but you were totally scared. hahha. mary - my roommate, my wingman, my partner in crime, my nemo, my other half, my drunken chef, my everything - it started off slow...but it picked up really quick towards the end. i'll never forget the many memories that we shared - shopping for more than just clothes, busted lip w/ a lil bit of basketball tripping, $40 chinese take out, quizzing you on ID info, being peer pressured into going out EVERY weekend...and the list goes on. i'm sure there's MORE of where that came from...but what would i have done without you!? audrey - in your own words...who knew we would see each other every weekend? of course...we all thought it was one of those things where we just say "o yea..we'll definitely hang out" just to be nice...and lookie where it got us...broke and exhuasted...but in return...we have A MILLION memories that will last a lifetime (all thanks to my camera. haha). i will never forget the infamous message "what are we doing on friday?" every monday the moment i got online. hahaha. esther - o man...where do i start? you were the one who broke the ice for me with everyone. wait...maybe i shouldn't thank you for that. haha. i kid. but yea...thanks for helping me adjust to the "sc life." your kindness will be forever cherished. we had some good memories too..huh? or maybe not...since i warned you too late that you wouldn't remember anything. hahaha. o yea...sorry about that.
so...this only further proves that FALL 2K4 is the best...no matter what chapter you're from! so...when's the next party squad reunion huh? i guess it'll have to be convention huh? it seems soooo freakin far away...but i'm sure that when it comes...it'll feel like yesterday that i was in LA...sittin at orsini...wondering why we have such horrible hangovers...
o yea...and this loser named...i forgot. o yea...rob. this guy. there are no words to describe this guy. except...i think he's my soulmate. HAHHA. but yea...thanks for being such a great friend. i don't think i've clicked with anyone the way that i've clicked with you. after just a week or so...you knew exactly what i was thinking...and you even knew how to finish my sentences. not only am i glad that you're one of the people that i met this summer...but i'm glad that we have a bond that will never be broken...not even with distance. savor the moment bitch. :P the memories we've shared are endless...but just to name a few to rekindle the beginning of a beautiful friendship - passing out during 4th of july fireworks, being your roommate, being accused of being "together," all my warnings, bruising like a peach, vegas, TMI talks, you being gay, and many many many more...so...to close this cheesiness *pinky. crossed fingers. thumb. kiss* you will truly be missed.
~ this summer has taught me many things...it's given me a chance to let go of the old completely and to start a new chapter in this book called life. it's taught me how to give people the benefit of the doubt and learn that trusting isn't such a bad thing. it's taught me how to "let go." it's taught me that cali parties hardcore...i don't know how their liver takes it. most importantly...it's taught me that there's more to life than my "bubble" that i've created in houston. i would have to say...that i can't recall ONE negative moment of my whole trip here...
so...to all my cali loves (there are MANY who weren't listed - otherwise this entry would be 10 pages long)...you will be truly missed. this summer wouldn't have been the same without each and every one of you. thank you!
good bye cali...hello texas...
the "yes" part...
ADs - i never truly realized how much i miss you guys when i don't see/talk to you guys everyday. this is only the beginning. o man...graduation is gonna be a hard time for me...i can already see it. ughhh. family - i miss my grandparents and the rest of my family. sometimes...i really wonder how i can move away from home after i graduate...it's so hard leaving them for just 3 months! but i'm going back...so it's all that matters. UT - i miss my friends, my school - the familiar color of burnt orange...instead of feeling like i'm gonna get beat up everytime i see those maroon and gold meanies...haha. but i can't help but love most of them. most importantly...my SOS. this summer has done well for us. it's made me realize that he's got something that no one else has. he makes me want to pull my hair out even from 5,000 miles away. he makes me crack a smile everytime i read an email or an IM. he says the most unexpected things at the most unexpected times. he keeps me on my toes to say the least...and i thank you for that...we'll see what's in store for us...
so...to all my houston loves...i'm bringing sexy back...see you really really soon! i'm kinda excited. haha. |
