...I miss you guys, I really do...
...Daf, Laur, Zinni...Heather, too, to a lesser degree...all those times we stayed up all night just *talking*...I remember one night, over at Zinni's...we were sitting there, talking about religion, and what we believed, and what we had such a hard time believing..and I don't think I remeber any of it verbatim anymore...but I remember we were crying that night.....there were some times, spent with you guys, that I was as happy as I've *ever* been (U2 concerts included *smile*).
...and you're right, Laur...it will change...has already, to a degree......but it doesn't have to *end*.
That's just the thing - M*A*S*H didn't have the internet. We do. *smile*
...and once you guys get to college (I know, scary, yet..), you'll most likely have fast 'net connections...and no parents (or siblings! *g*) over yer shoulders to keep you off aim or anything you want. ^_^ (Trust me, this is unbelievably *wonderful*.)

...but you're right, Laur...we could all end up so very far apart (yer comment about me being as Bono as I want and ending up in Africa made me smile, tho *g*)......scares the shit outta me to say it, but..we *are* gonna grow up. We probably are already, and just aren't really seeing it quite yet. (I'm wondering if you'll think I have that "college-student air" about me when I come home next weekend, Laur..*half-smile*) But..that's just it...it's always so gradual, that you don't even realise it...(thank God, otherwise there's no way we could deal with it! ..even this way, it's hard..)
..but now I've lost whatever else I'd wanted to say...as usual, Laur said it all, and much more concisely and better than I ever could. *smile*


*is listening to theme songs from Weiß Kreuz*..seem to fit, tho I don't remember the translations.....

..but it's Bono (as usual), who's really got it right:

"Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you?
I don't know, which way the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time is comin' 'round
Don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye."
- "Kite", U2
