Change - January 18, 2003 | 02:26pm
"Pictures never change. Only the people in them do."
I
have
lots
of
pictures,
believe
me.
And
no,
they
don't
change.
The
permanent
colored-ink
doesn't
morph
to
fit
the
personalities
of
who
the
people
are
today.
Nope.
And
the
penned-yearbook
signings
cannot
be
erased.
Pen
does
not
erase.
However,
personalities
can.
They
can
morph,
erase...
change.
Change.
That's
why
we've
all
grown
apart.
Da
Fab
Five.
Our
site
hasn't
been
updated
in
forever,
and
the
entries
that
were
there,
are
too
old
to
even
show
up.
But
I
remember,
to
some
extent,
writing
the
last
entry.
"I
think
I'm
loosing
you
guys."
That's
what
happened.
Either
I
should
be
a
fortune
teller,
or
I
was
only
stating
the
obvious.
Remember
the
days
of
Da
Fab
Five?
Memories
don't
change
either.
The
people
do...
The
5
of
us...
Jordan
-
I
don't
hang
out
with
her
anymore,
really.
The
last
time
we've
really
"done
something
together"
was
when
her
"friends"
left
her
stranded
at
the
mall
and
my
family
took
her
home
after
we
shopped.
It
was
weird
being
with
her,
because
we're
not
close
anymore.
The
time
before
that,
was
last
summer,
and
I
took
her
to
Darien
Lake.
Two
summers
ago,
we
did
everything
together.
We
were
pretty
much
inseparable,
and
we
spent
almost
everyday
of
that
summer
together.
We
rode
bikes,
got
lost,
went
to
KMart/Wendy's/DL,
looked
at
RJ's
owl.
We
created
PAGES
and
PAGES
of
inside
jokes,
that
still
stand
there
today.
But,
we
don't
hang
out
anymore.
She
has
new
friends
that
she
once
told
me
were,
quote,
"stoners."
Is
that
something
YOU
want
to
be
Jordan?
And
so
she
was
gone...
But,
underneath
her
occasional
pants
that
will
fit
5
people
in
each
leg
and
her
new
friends,
she
seems
like
the
same
person.
Kim
-
She's
the
one
that's
most..
far
out
there.
She
drinks,
has
sex,
smokes?,
does
drugs?
We're
not
exactly
sure.
Did
we
see
this
coming?
I
didn't.
Well,
she's
always
had
friends
other
than
us
4,
such
as
Joelle,
that
could
have
pulled
her
in
a
different
direction
than
we
would've.
I've
always
had
problems
with
Kim.
We
were
never
REALLY
close,
but
I
always
considered
her
one
of
my
best
friends.
We
got
semi-close
in
Washington,
but
we
still
didn't
get
along
really
well.
We
are
so
alike.
And
always
were.
Way
back
then
we
liked
the
same
guys
and
to
this
day
we
have
the
same
problems.
We're
both
under
pressure
from
our
friends
because
we
love
our
boyfriends.
And
she
feels
the
same
way
I
do
about
it.
It
was
nice
to
talk
to
her.
But
she's
WAY
changed.
I
wouldn't
hang
out
with
her
anymore.
Andrea
-
AKA
Annnnndria,
back
in
the
day.
I
think
everyone
appreciates
her
a
lot
more
now
than
we
did
then.
I
don't
understand
how
we
could
be
mean
to
someone
we
considered
our
best
friend.
That
AIM
convo,
Anndriog,
Paramecium?
As
far
as
change,
I
don't
think
Andrea
has
changed.
I
think
she
still
always
looks
unhappy.
And
I
hope
I
wasn't
one
of
the
people
to
make
her
seem
that
way.
Maybe
others
think
Andrea's
changed,
and
she
says
she
has,
but
I
just
don't
see
it.
Alex
-
I've
gone
through
this
a
thousand
times.
I
think
she
has
changed.
She's
a
lot
more
confident
than
she
was
before.
But
she's
still
a
great
person
to
have
good,
old-fashioned,
immature
fun
with.
Her
tastes
are
different,
close
friends
are
different,
attitude
is
different.
Sometimes
when
I
look
at
her
I
see
Shannon.
The
way
she
bends
her
fingers
and
the
way
she
talks
are
all
too
familiar.
But
besides
that,
she's
more
willing
to
take
chances,
more
motivated,
and
we
just
don't
like
the
same
things
anymore.
I
used
to
get
upset
when
I
was
soo
interested
in
web
design
and
she
comes
along
and
all
of
a
sudden
some
of
her
stuff
is
better
than
mine.
She's
good
with
graphics.
And
still
is.
But
I
don't
think
she's
interested
in
what
I
am
anymore.
She's
moved
on
to
other
things.
I
thought
that
we,
together,
were
all
out
school
spirit.
Such
as,
not
being
able
to
miss
a
dance.
Not
being
able
to
miss
a
night
of
fun.
We
went
to
dances
AFTER
dances
in
MS!
(our
regular
dance
and
then
YMCA!)
And
now,
all
of
a
sudden,
she
doesn't
want
to
go
to
the
Junior
Prom.
And
among
the
reasons,
one
is,
"Because
they
don't
play
my
kind
of
music!"
!?!?!
That
was
never
her
excuse
before.
Before,
she
had
no
excuses.
But
she's
different
than
I
am
now,
and
I
have
to
accept
that
because
it's
not
going
to
change.
We
don't
hang
out
really,
except
school.
We
would
have
fun
if
we
did,
but
we
don't.
I
guess
that's
just
how
it
is.
And
lastly,
Myself
-
I
don't
think
I've
changed
much.
Whenever
this
subject
comes
up,
so
does
Andy.
Yes,
Andy
is
my
best
friend.
I
hang
out
with
him
most
and
depend
on
him
the
most.
And
I'm
happy.
But
I
still
like
pink.
For
me
and
Andy,
that
explains
it
all.
The
color.
I
don't
think
I
act
different.
I
think
the
only
difference
is
who
I
hang
out
with.
I've
started
becoming
good
friends
with
Danielle,
too.
She's
a
great
role
model.
Patriotic,
all
for
equality
for
women,
believes
in
unicorns..
Danielle's
great.
Maybe
my
ideas/thoughts
have
changed
too.
I
think
I'm
most
excited
about
growing
up.
I
want
to
be
middle-aged,
married,
and
have
children.
I
want
to
watch
those
children
grow
up.
I
may
miss
the
days
of
Da
Fab
Five,
but
I
still
have
the
memories,
and
I'm
happy
with
how
life
is
for
me
now.
So,
I
guess
the
biggest
change
is
that
I
have
a
new
best
friend
and
am
not
in
that
tight
circle
of
5
friends
anymore.
Which,
barely
anyone
is.
Circles
shouldn't
end.
Should
they?
2
points
determine
a
line.
Those
are
its
end
points.
Circles
don't
have
endpoints.
I
guess
we
were
a
line.
Not
a
circle.
Life's
"ink"
is
not
permanent.
Pictures
are.

I
guess
I'm
finished.
I
guess
it's
finished.
Goodbye
to
you.
Goodbye
to
everything
I
thought
I
knew.
