Friends.

I have realized that i have the best friends in the world, and i do not show my appreciation nearly enough for them. Something i have also realized is that you often don't appreciate friends until someone comes along and appreciates them better.
But my friends, i love you. So very very much. Please don't ever go away.
But right now, I'm just going to write about my friends that will actually read this XD

Erin Sheppard. You are stunningly beautiful and funny and loving and caring an generous. You make me laugh so very very hard. I feel so comfortable around you, like seriously, i think we were separated at birth or something. I absolutely adore spending time with you, and i never ever ever wanna stop being best friends. Remember our pact? You'd better remember.
Erin, you are so talented and lively and colourful. You may seem quite and strange at first, but you light up a room. You are a blessing in my life, Erin.I feel like we know eachother so well. I know i get annoying sometimes, and sometimes i get annoyed at you for stupid things, but I love you very dearly. I love the hope you give me, the support you give me, the stories you give me, and the companionship. Thank you for being there for me, always. Thankyou for being my friend no matter what. You've seen the very worst of me, and you still love me. I want to keep on talking about you, but i can't quite seem to.

Holly Banks. You are one hilarious turd-face. And i mean that in the most loving way possible. I love you like an obese child loves cake. I don't think i can find the right words, but you light up my life so much. Sometimes i think we are the same person. Earballs. All the time. You would think that would get annoying, or that people who are so similar would clash, but we don't. I think we had one real fight, and that was sorted pretty quickly :P
I still remember when we were in the city, and i did something annoying and you said something and i started sulking or something, then within 5 minutes we'd both apologized. That is real friendship. I don't quite remember how we became real friends, but somehow it happened, and i am so thankful to God that it did happen.
Holly you seem to have the whole package. You've got the most fantastic personality ever, you've got the most stunningly attractive face, the best talent in the guitar/vocal/piano/flute/anything you desire to pursue, and you've got a God who seems to protect you no matter what. Look back on your life, and how many times has God actively protected you? it really is quite astounding. So many people would kill for such obvious evidence of love.
Holly, my dear, I love you very much.

Adam Thomas. You were my first ever male best friend. I had a big crush on you in grade 4. I told my closest friends that out of anyone in the grade i would marry you. And that continued on until about grade 9. I remember in grade 7 i hugged you just because i'd never hugged a boy before. Your house was the first boys house i ever went over as MY friend (and not a parents friend or a friends friend). I remember you told me my eyes were wrinkly. I have always respected you sooooo much. I remember when i was younger, i genuinely thought you were perfect. I couldn't remember a time when i saw you sin. I used to want to spend time with you just so that some of the goodness would come off on me.
You make me laugh an insane amount, and i really do love spending time with you. i miss the city-trips, i miss sleazey yogenfruz, i miss Extension art and the art room "tension" and the overall time spending. i miss a lot of stuff.
I just want to say thank you for being there for me in my exceptionally tough times. You've always been so sympathetic and supportive. You have always found the loveliest things to say to me, to encourage me and lift my spirit. I'll never forget that. I love "ya" Adam.

Kyra McGill. You are such a strong, loving girl. You love God so much, and i can tell. One thing i love about you, is that you are so sweet and you fix situations up. If you feel something is wrong, you clear it up and make sure everything is fixed. I love that. it takes a great person to do that. That you so much for encouraging me, and talking to me, and praying with me. It really means so much to me, Kyra. I really do value you as a friend. Although we don't sit together every lunch time or talk every second of the day, i know that you are a friend that will always be there for me. And i thank you so much. You are such a beautiful girl. I love you, Kyra.

Esther Blueburger. You are such a sweet, loving, caring girl. You have such a big heart. You make me laugh with your slaps and quirky little sayings :P
One thing i love about you esther, is that you make an effort. You make an effort to see how I'm doing, you make an effort to say hello to me. Even if it's just a squeeze of the arm, i know that i have a friend in you. You are stunning, Esther. Your beautiful "violet" eyes and silky brown hair. Just gorgeous. UGH STINK! Ewww seewagge... GRRRROT! ahahahah
Esther, you are a very blessed girl, and your morals are rare and precious. Never give them up, and never let any one tell you other wise. They are a girt from God and a strength in you. it is very admirable. Keep shining darling girl :)

Samm Osbourne. Although I only really got to know you at the beginning of this year, i am glad that i have. We don't talk all that often, but whenever we do, i come out of it uplifted and happy. I think we are quite similar in our thoughts, our relationship with God and in some kinda strange way maybe our personalities. Don't know if that might be an insult to you... but heheh. Samm, you really are an inspiration. You are doing so many things for God and they are coming from the right place. I've seen you in some sticky situations, and you have always handled them with grace and love. I respect that.
On top of all the deep stuff, i have fun with you, and i do enjoy spending time with you. I'm glad that you are in my life :)

Kate Armstrong. It saddens me that we hardly talk anymore, but that's okay, you are a very busy girl this year :P We've had some extremely fun times singing songs, sitting in the lady cave, going on fishing trips and planning on marketing "Dam Good Mud". I will never forget when we got in our bikinis and swam in a muddy dam and made mud bikinis ad exfoliated our skin. Our late night chats in the tent, and at all those student leader retreats were very memorable. Gee we talked about some very awkward things didn't we.
I remember our promise to be honest with eachother, i remember our big talks about God, and how i was your accountability partner, and i remember literally praying for you every night. You are a blesses girl, Kate. You are going places in your life. God bless you, always.

Olivia Alexander. We literally NEVER talk any more. the last time i saw you was probably when we were going to get our licenses, and you walked all the way to the school to tell us that you didn't have enough money. I actually feel really sad that we don't talk. You were always my special friend, that was incredibly cool and indie and mysterious and silly and random, and exactly like my inner self. We used to both be teachers-pet neat-freak goody-goody student leader christians. I'm not a teachers-pet, neat-freak, goody-goody any more, i don't know about you :P
I think you have a gift of making people feel loved and comfortable. And you have a great gift of connecting to people, your just one of that kind.
i remember one of the hardest nights of my life, when i wasn't a student leader any more and every one was clogging up my newsfeed with photos and wallposts about the new captains and prefects, and you posted on my wall "You are a sweetie <3" and that honestly made my night. Since i couldn't stop crying. i'll never forget that.

Friends, I love you lots. Don't forget that.
