I know I'm so late with this that it's definitely not fashionable, just really really late, though I finally remembered to do this because I had a dream about it somewhere between my dream of meeting Alexa, and the one where I'm taking pole dancing lessons.

Anyhoo, on with the sweet nothings. It's sorta like that bag thingy we did at Peer Support training (what was the bag called? ahh, warm fuzzies) and that time I thought I should tell the people I liked what I really thought of them, because I knew that if I suddenly died, there'd be so many things left unsaid. Anyway, I only got around to telling Victoria outside the toilets, Michelle on the train on the way home from 'The Black Balloon' and Jessica outside my textiles room. Then it just got weird, because it was weird telling people to their face. I guess people these days have a false sense of modesty, and don't take compliments well, or feel uncomfortable receiving compliments. Anyway, kudos to whomever this idea belongs to, the internet is a less personal medium than face to face, but still warm enough to make the person feel loved.

Alice
Oh Alice, Michelle and I are definitely getting you an alarm clock that you have to put across your room so that we aren't left waiting for you ever again, but it's okay, we don't mind waiting for you that much. I really enjoyed textiles with you these past 2 years, you've been a great listener, and it was really nice to be able to talk about Karen, Max and Eeyore with you and have Jennifer and Anne Qin listen in. I meant every word I said in your Christmas card, I believe that you will achieve great things in life. And you are just so cute.

Actually, I'm not even sure you frequent this blog, as your computer exploded or something and you have no internet access (which sucks, because weren't you addicted to it?)


Eunice
I have a feeling that you, you know every word spoken between Michelle and I (erm, not that we are very discreet). You're cool, and you like Doctor Who(and that makes you cooler), and though I don't get that much time to talk to you, when I do, I feel special. You have a way of listening, and I just get the feeling that you're actually listening, not just nodding along. And you laugh at my jokes, even though they aren't very funny, oh, and I remember that time you kept me company, while Michelle and Alice were off to the computer room, though you probably don't. But thank you for that, it made me feel less completely and utterly alone. :)

Emily
Erm, not sure if Emily even knows we have a blog, but yeah. I guess I haven't been as close to you as I got to be in year 7, and it makes me sorta sad that our year 7 days are over. I had so much fun with you, especially at the walkathon (remember, our stand is going to be the sexy bubbles stand!), and I'm sorry I was absent so much (which I guess I still am, but I'm getting better). You're a fantastic cook, artist and origami folder, and it was a pleasure to be your closest companion in year 7 and 8. You're always bubbly and optimistic, and it's so fun to be around you.

Jessica
It was really, really nice to get to know you, you've been a fantastic friend to me over this past year (erm, I know you may think otherwise), and it was really actually you who got me going to school. You've got a very special gift of making a girl feel special and good about herself, and you always show compassion and caring to others. When you see someone down, you take it upon yourself to cheer them up, and thanks for cheering me up so many times. :) You are very sweet under that potty mouth exterior, and you have a big heart.

Michelle
Oh Michelle, we can talk for hours and hours about stuff can't we? I loved our 5 day sleep over and those secret plans in the dark, and I don't mind your bodily functions that much anymore (just don't do them in my bed). You have always been there, to see me through thick and thin, and you are just wonderful. You are intelligent and funny, and sorta like my good half, though some of the crazy stuff we talk about you dreamed up, like that summer music festival prank idea. :) I'm really glad that we'll almost be in all of each other's classes next year, and though we won't get any work done, we'll have a tonne of fun, I just know it!

Shelley
You, Shelley, dear bring out my artistic side. Thank you for prodding me into making a corset, and supporting me in all my financial endeavors. I had so much fun cooking up hare-brained ideas with you in Geo, PE and History this year, and thanks for being my glitter buddy and drawing on me because I like it. You have such cool style and attitude, I know that sometimes I'm in awe at (or is it of? I have such terribly problems with prepositions) you. I have a feeling Johnkley/Johnnet thinks I'm the weirder of us two, but we both know the truth don't we?

Tiffany
You are such fun to talk to, and so, so awesome. I'm sorry if Shelley and I confused you with our cards (you kept them right?) but I guess we just wanted you to know that you are loved. Not in the romantic gooey mushy way, but that we think you're adorable and wonderful. It was real nice to sit next to you in Commerce and talk about the Wayne Cooper dress you didn't like, and in Science too.

Victoria
Oh Victoria, I miss you bursting into song. You're funny and terribly sweet, and I re-read your birthday card the other day and it made me smile. I miss the times we had at pre-uni, with Catherine and Lily and Miki (I've totally forgotten how to spell her name), and I miss you, because you're just so much fun to be around. You are more brilliant than you give yourself credit for, and I remember the last time I saw you, at rice, thanks so much for inviting me, I had so much fun with you. :)

Winnie
You made English worth attending! I know we bonded over something out of the ordinary, but I'm glad I got to know you. You're pretty and funny (without even trying!) that it makes me jealous sometimes. Your misspelled words are endearing, and I still remember the disastrous sequence of events at your house when we were cooking for community day (Emily actually illustrated all of them in the card she gave me last year for Christmas). You are very thoughtful, and very caring.
