Wow guys, another year. One year closer to the end! *snif* Another year of great times though.... Anyway, I hope your first days home have been treating you alright. I, of course, am bored silly already. I don't know how this summer is going to turn out but I know that I will miss you all like mad!!! Hopefully I will get to see you all a lot - I am not too far from most of you, you lazy slackers!!! Oh, and everyone: barbeque on Saturday at my place!!! BYOB, or give me money and I'll make a Brewski's and or bar run. Plus we all must chip in for weiners and hamburg - or bring a dish to pass! Like chilli - Jes! Well I hope to see everyone here.
Ok, well I guess it is time for the personal messages section. As before, I'll try to write emails to everyone as time permits, but this one's for my nearest and dearest only - I love you guys! Alphabetical by last name, you know the drill....
Grant...Babes you're awesome as hell but you know that. Too bad you're not in summer sesh this year!!! Try not to catch air in your dad's car anymore - and I will see you soon.
Dana...It has been too long since we have seen each other. Sucks being busy because we are not too far apart distance wise! Well I should be in Stroudsburg all summer; we'll have to try to get together! Hehe that one weekend after frosh year was insane!!! Anyway keep up Long John's for me and let me know when you can start doing my hair for me!!! Call me, email me, something - just keep in touch!!! I miss you all the time....
Meli...Yeah so we are not as close as we were. It's amazing how far a few hundred yards can be when there are hundreds of people in the way - different dorms are like different states. Well I still love you and I hope that since we are only 15 minutes away you will come see me over the summer!!! Did you read the part about the barbeque???
Sarah...Wow so it's like all of a sudden you are one of my best friends. Even though sometimes it seems like I try to make you mad and even though it seems like that cuz sometimes I do (hehe) well I guess you should know that I think of you as one of my closest friends. People say that you get nicknames because you your friends care about you so we must love you, right Spunky, Delay, Bellefonte, Kneepads??? Hehe I guess you could say you came into your own on that road trip!!! You're always up for anything which is a lot of fun (hey especially for random guys! lol) although I don't care what you say you don't know how to get back from Pottstown! This summer we will have to do some Beer Road Trips and next year we have to plan for the HOtel. We have had many crazy times, with crazy pics to prove it, and I hope to see you a lot this summer!!!
Jes...I thought we were about done last year. It's amazing how now, it's one of our favorite jokes: "Hey remember how much I hated you when...." I guess when someone is your true friend it takes a lot of forgiveness. And a lot of FGF. Should I even bother trying to sum up our memories? Road trips, evil roommates, evil neighbors, evil Wal*Mart products, stalking, stalking nicknames, getting lost in Harlem, Nigerian Folex NYC, Beefaroni in the Subway parking lot, S'mores, driving through the cemetary late at night, not getting "naughty" pics developed at Wal*Mart, "our" car, girls' night in, more than I can mention. Jes, the time you told me you considered me your best friend meant more to me than you know! I'm sure you know that you are my best friend too, and if not, well, you are. I hope we can do everything we want to this summer like go to the shore and go to Boston and visit a lot. I will miss you a lot and I can't wait for September!!!
Other Jess...The other white Jess. We have had our fun on road trips: "I hear he has a big weiner!" Not to mention our tanning days, girls' night in, nights drinking at my house, so here's to our newest stalker! DHB, Beatle! Beatle was the randomest thing ever. Even more random than Jes and I in our random heyday; good to know we have a trainee and a Tri Mu pledge. I'm sure I will see you over the summer!
Kevin...Well it looks as though you are finally happy; I hope you so. You deserve it like no one else. Can't believe you graduated - graduating is like unreal. Hey I'll get there in a gear or 10. Well anyway, I guess we have completed our first full year of friendship and it went rather well I would say. Thanks for trying to teach me to drive stickshift even though it had somewhat mixed results! I hope you get a chance to come see me over the summer; actually I hope that since you'll be in Philly we can see each other somewhat regularly. You're a good friend and a great person: keeping me up til 6 am listening to your problems but listening to mine for 2 days straight! You're becoming one of the people I go to to keep me grounded and for sane advice - hope you know how much you still mean to me....
Amy...I hope I get a chance to see you this summer! It's so weird how you're gone now - I have no one from freshman year. Weird. I still can't believe you wrote me up last summer! Well keep in touch, try to get up here this summer and I hope you are happy down there by the beach!!!
Benno...Ahh my lump of clay where do I begin? To think you were barely an acquaintance at this time last year. It seems impossible. How did we even start hanging out? It's hard to remember not hanging out with you. I am so, so glad I met you. What would life be like without you and your atomic farts??? You are definitely one of my best friends, even when I am kinda snatchy for like two months (sorry about that). I guess I'll be seeing you whe you come out to take your test, though I think you should come to the barbeque on Saturday (have I mentioned that yet?) I definitely want to thank you for taking me out on my birthday; I had had my 21st built up so much in my mind that I was sure it would be a letdown, but it was so, so much fun. Plus, you got me drinking whisky sours. However, that also lead to my fine "performance" in your bathroom. Anyway, we are just way, overly, weird, and no one else will ever understand the shit we talk about: penises floating in the water, MOOMB, fisheads, can I lick your nuts, the shavins game, pungent, whomping, whompwash, whompkins, and of course the sewer ball argument. We've had many many good times, girls' night in, bar nights, movie nights, way too many nights at Perkins and Friendly's! Oh yeah and the night of Greek Sing: mad skills! LOL... I'm glad I got to see you play your show too; you are very talented and if you are never famous and appreciated for it, well you should be. Ben even though you I get so pissed at you sometimes (yes I know it is mutual hehe) I love you to death; you're one of the coolest people I know.
Kelly...The XNL!!! The NDH!!! The tuna lover! LOL. Who else could be stoned for 2 days - you giggle constantly anyway. Like James but less shady. Even though you're an insane driver, you're a lot of fun, and we will get you to pledge Tri Mu yet!!!
Marky Sunshine...Awww hun I hope you enjoy your tenure as an environmental studies major - you know it's not the same without the notebook doodles though! Hope you keep in touch over the summer, my little skapunk Marky!
Eric...Don't you wish we had Lit together again??? I promise to never set you up with any more of my friends - but I didn't know the nam was a psycho! Ehhh, you wanted an April anyway! Hey you will always be the first I call when I run out of gas!!! You're still a beautiful, awesome person; although I think you have gotten exponetially more conceited, if that is possible. I still love ya, though if you scream out my name during sex, make sure to specify a last name!!!
Heath...Ahh how I have loved watching you grow from the innocent little high school girl we knew last year to the hoish sorostitute we are proud to call our friend today!!! Anyway Heath I love ya, crisis a minute and all. I hope to be seeing you lots over the summer!
Matters J...Yeah we didn't get as much Q.T. this year, and for that matter, NO OST. Well you will always be my unpaid therapist and if it weren't for you we wouldn't be partying at Wal*Mart - not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing!!! We have our Perkins nights if not our fitness walks - nothing will beat you leaving your number for the waiter!!! Thank you for everything you do for me....
