Best Friends
Do you have a best friend? I have three, and without those three girls, I think I would be completely and totally lost. It's amazing how all of them can affect my life in separate ways, and how I know that no matter what I say or what's going on in my life, they're going to be there for me, and that means more to me than anything else right now, because I've learned that there are very few people you can honestly depend on, and when you find some, you should realize how lucky you are.
Brittany--I remember when we first started being really good friends. We were in 5th grade. Everyone wanted to be your best friend, and I used to sit beside you at lunch, and they used to try to make me move, and the two of us, being the evil ones we are, thought it was hillarious. I remember Felicia's birthday party that year, and doing cartwheels through the mall, and singing Faith Hill songs together. I remember laughing at everyone. I remember 6th grade. You talked me into playing basketball with you, and we played together all through middle school, and I remember when we won champion ship that year. We used to sit in Ms. Chafin's class & put on lipgloss forever & the new girl used to stare at us like we were stupid & we loved it & we would laugh forever about it. I remember when she used to take pictures for us of all the guys we liked. I remember Susan, and that entire big war with her, and how we won, and she went to Gilbert. I remember our little crushes, and I still remember that one special guys schedule. Lol. I remember the baseball games that summer, when we loved the older guys. I remember 7th grade. We got out of class every single day. We played with the sped kid stuff: the trampolines, jump ropes, and all. I remember us going to put our stuff up every morning in that little closet thing & telling each other about our little problems with all the boys were were talking to. I remember when you tore your ACL, and I remember going to physical therapy with you EVERY DAY. I remember how you hated my ex boyfriend. I remember that summer when we finally broke up. I remember staying at your house for over a week, and I remember you forcing me to eat, because you cared about me. I remember that girl that threatened to come to your house over Bobby and James. I remember our fights with all the little cheerleaders. I remember 8th grade. We were so stupid then, but it was fun. I remember we were always torturing one of the cheerleaders. I remember hanging their Dooney's up in the tree. I remember counting & weighing those stupid poptabs for hours. I remember the baseball game with the girl with the ugly purse, and her midget boyfriend. I remember putting our feet in her seat & stealing his pringles. I remember thinking it was hillarious. I remember gifted. I remember when you started sneaking out. I remember the first and only time I ever snuck out with you: the night we got caught. I remember that walk home--it was probably the longest we've ever took. I remember it all. I remember this year, freshmen. I remember when we lost Steven. I remember going to school and finding out about it, and sitting in first period together, crying because he still hadn't walked through the door, and it wasn't just a cruel joke. I remember going home with you that day, and the talks we had. I remember the first night we were allowed out together again after we got in trouble. I remember getting locked in Ross's trunk. I remember every crazy long talk we ever had. I remember your loser boyfriend, but I know you love him, and I remember how I used to pretend like I liked him to, so you would be happy. I remember us trying to stay out of everyone's fight, and then laughing about it when they tried bringing us into it. I remember our phone conversations about Olivia & Brittany week. You could say I remember a lot of things, but even with that list, it doesn't cover everything we've been through together. It doesn't even begin to.
Casara I remember when we were in 2nd grade. They moved Delbarton Grade School to Varney and I walked in class, and you gave me a peice of gum, and said Hi, my name is Casara. Then I remember in 3rd or 4th grade, when we were in GirlScouts and went camping together. I remember singing those annoying songs, staying in tents, and running our canoe into a tree, and having to be rescued because we were bad canoe drivers. I remember 5th grade, when we would sing all the time, no matter what, to everyone. I remember 6th grade, how we would always make fun of people, and the big Susan thing. I remember 7th grade, when you went out with Josh and I went out with Gordon.. I remember going to the movies almost every weekend. I remember the night I broke the chair. Lol. I remember skipping class in Ms. Carroll's room & Brook's always trying to get us in trouble. I remember when we argued with the Ashley's. I remember 8th grade, when me and Gordon broke up, and I remember calling you crying, and you talking me through everything. I remember skipping in Ms. Smith's room, and I remember playing basketball for three years together. I remember counting pop tabs, and I remember torturing the cheerleaders. I remember when we got sick of listening about Troy. I remember this year, and all of our crazy music. I remember Steven's funeral, when you ran out to the football field, and me, Justin, and Ross followed you. I remember leaving Justin & Ross and the long talk we had on the bleachers. I remember stupid fights that we were in with stupid people. I remember you staying here, and us acting like retards. I remember telling you all my problems. I remember the night of the superbowl, and when we took all those pictures. I remember the night Timmy & Todd came to see us at Timmy's house, and had to leave before someone caught them at their own house. I remember us laughing about everything. I remember being stranded at Mom & Dad's garage. I mostly remember everytime you've been there for me. There are a million more memories I never wrote about on here, and a million more to come.
Bethany I remember us being friends since we were little but mostly I remember everything that's happened in the last few years. I remember before Becca moved, and when she used to sneak & buy us "stuff." I remember the flood when we were stuck together for three days, and we didn't get to go to bed till 4:30 & I woke you up at 8. I remember the entire summer that we spent together. I remember us staying up ALL NIGHT waiting for daylight, and then sneaking out of my house to go jump on the trampoline & jump in my pool at 6am. I remember our GTA obsession, and how we got stuck on one mission, and never really moved on. I remember all of our trips. I remember when we went to Ohio with Crazy Judy!! I remember how she scared you to death. I remember our Diet Coke song. I remember our lotion fight, and I remember being so obnoxious. I remember the entire 13 hour drive, and being accused of stealing her purse. I remember the trip to Tennessee, and how all we wanted was to go to the outlets, but they made us go to Gatlinsburg. I remember the church that lasted for 20 minutes. I remember the fireworks we set off that night, and I remember our "We're lost. Moooo." sign that we used to make Mom & Dad mad.. Crazy Rednecks. I remember when we went to the beach, and you missed your tunnel. I remember our stalker guys. We talked to 7 guys that day. I remember 3:00 in the morning out on your balcony, and we were thinkin we were bored & we looked down and there were drunk guys laying on the grass playing guitar & like everyone was out talking & listening to them. I remember swimming & playing in the ocean. I remember our trip to Bridgeport. Yoko, Mr White Man, and Rosa Evelyn. Us and our "Gorgeous." I remember our big fourwheeler wreck, and how we tried not to get caught. I remember staying up all night long like everynight and trying to cnvince everyone that we just woke up early. I remember when we convinced Adam to walk all the way to Lenore to get us some Dr. Pepper and it took him like an hour & you were crying because you were afraid something had happened to him. I remember when we stole his SNOW & he chased us down and took it. There are a million more things I could say because you lived with me for almost a year, but I think I'm going to stop now. You've been there for me, and I'm probably closer to you than anyone else. Blood's thicker than water, and we're double second cousins!! Lol..
Casara, Brit, Me, Beth
