Ten Day Challenge: Day One

Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.

 OK, so I’ve stolen this idea from a dear friend’s blog, she is actually in this list, I wonder if she can find her entry? ;)

Oh and if you’re really interested you can email me to see if you know who everyone on the list refers to, or if an entry is about you. Though I must say it was really hard only being able to write to 10 people.

1. You always seem so sad, on a deeper level than you’re willing to show. You may try to act happy from time to time, but I can see right past that. I wish you would tell me about all that troubles you, so that I could help you through it. I’m so sorry that we seem to keep missing each other every time that I come back to town, I swear that we will actually meet up one of these days. Don’t ever think that I’ve forgotten about you, because I never could, you are far too beautiful a person for that. Besides, I still owe you that slice of pie.
2. I think I may have known you longer than anyone else, and I think we know more about each other than most people know about us. You can be a royal jackass at times, but so can I, it’s just the way we are, comes from where we grew up. Your one of only a couple people who I keep in touch with from that certain part of my life, and probably the sole person that I can count on from those days. I know you would classify this as bullshit if you ever read it, but since you don’t know about this blog that’s not really a problem. I’m glad you have finally found the girl of your dreams, and I wish you both only the best, but you better not go getting yourself killed any time soon, things just wouldn’t be the same without you.
3. Since the moment I’ve met you, I’ve known you to go completely against the social norms of our society. Over the years I’ve managed to get you into some fantastic shows, I’m still waiting for you to recommend (a good) one to me. Your quite possibly one of my best friends, of course so are most of the people on this entry. We may act like antagonists at times, and we may even seem like we can’t stand each other, but there is no one I would rather discuss quantum mechanics with at 7 in the morning. We really must get together for coffee again one of these days.
4.  I’m glad that after six months of me saying it, you’ve finally taken my advice to look on the bright side of life once in a while. Now if only you could take my advice about the small banana, and forget about it entirely. But I’m sure you will one day, just hopefully before it is too late. I always enjoy talking to you over dinner, and how I can convince you of almost anything lol.
5. You know it’s kind of funny, since the moment I met you, I had a feeling that we would become great friends. Of course putting up with that chem class together could only strengthen the bonds that people share, but you are easily one of my best friends. It seems like we’ve known each other for so much longer than we actually have, and that’s a good thing, we both know the feeling of wanting to go home and never look back, but we do come back because we know we must, but I think that having each other around has made that much easier and I don’t know if I could have done it without you.
6. I’ve only known you for about 6 months and we have already become amazing friends. Your one of the greatest guys that I have ever met, you’ve definitely made this college experience more fun than it ever could have been without you. You definitely have to come back to Philly and hang out with us sometime. I can’t wait till we see Elton John!
7. I feel as though we are in a constant state of teaching and learning. We keep introducing each other to new worlds. You are such an amazing friend and easily one of the nicest people that I have ever met. One day you will achieve greatness and easily go down in the history books.Oh and Losties forever!
8. If I may paraphrase something that you once said to me, in freshman year, we didn’t really know each other, nor in sophomore year, but beginning in junior year, our relationship formed and it formed fast. You are one of the most dependable people I have ever met in my life, and also one of the most honest, a refreshing trait that is not oft seen these days. I cherish our friendship more than you will ever know. And I will still never be able to thank you enough for setting me up last year ;)
9. You are an incredible leader, from the moment I first met you, I saw that you had an ability to bring people together for the common good. To be entirely honest, whenever I had trouble with leading a group, I’d ask myself what would you do, and it usually worked. You have been a great friend to me for the last five years, and I hope that our friendship continues well into our old age. I cannot tell you how happy I am that you have finally found the one you love and I wish you both the best.
10. Whenever I see purple, you automatically spring to my mind. From NAL to NHS to SPARC to life in general, you’ve always been there for me, and I truly appreciate that. You have this innate ability to always know just the right thing to say to make people laugh, and you should never let go of that incredible gift, for now is when we need it most. One day you will be a billionaire, I can say that without a doubt, all I ask is that you remember a little old bear from the old days; of course we’ll still be in touch so you won’t exactly have the option of forgetting me, but still lol.
