So I think I'm going to be writing in this a lot more often since no one will be reading it. :]
It just hit me today how much I'm going to miss Brian. I mean, really I'll talk to him all the time. But I'll miss his company.
Reflecting on the past... eleven months, I can honestly say that when I met him I definitely didn't think he'd become one of my best friends.
Caitlin called me one day and asked me if I wanted to go see Little Miss Sunshine with them and since I like new people I was like "yeah man". So we went and it started raining like crazy and it was a bit scary haha. So we got out of the movie, which was at SP 16, and we drive down State St. and it was totally FLOODED. Flash flood in Rockford baby. :] All we really remember from that day is listening to Bloc Party and the Postal Service. LAWL
So we really never hung out again until November when Bribri, Caitlin and I went to the mall the day after Thanksgiving. We definitely bonded by mocking Caitlin that day. XD We mocked her about being asian, small, saying she wanted to "walk around" with a pretzel, getting pretzel sticks instead of an actual pretzel, talking animatedly to Jacob on the phone and getting us lost in Sears. :D goodtimes man.
So somehow between then and now we became actual friends, and neither of us can recall how. We know it was sometime before prom, probably because I sat in their corner in the morning because I broke my foot. But now I consider him one of my best friends, and I don't really know what I'm going to do with him in Chicago.
I feel kind of abandoned with everyone leaving for college. And I know it's not like they're like "OMG! I'm lyk so siked to leave my friends at home!!1!", but that doesn't really make me feel any better. I'm stuck at Hononegah and they're off exploring the world. UGH. It's really a trapped kind of feeling.
I know I'll be just fine, but I'm going to miss their company.
I guess I just really need to grow up.
On another note, my Harry Potter summer is officially over. And that is the most depressing fact in the entire world. The seventh book is out and done, and a part of me died with that being over. My life has been so filled with it since I was 8. And it's so terrible having it be over.
The fandom, however, lives on! We have wizard rock and podcasts and love to keep us going.
And the community will live forever. These are relationships that outlast just the duration of the books. These are lifelong friendships, and that is the most amazing thing.
I love it more than anything.

I don't know what brought about this mood, but I hope it goes away soon. I'm about to start crying.Labels: anna needs to grow up, friends, harry potter, leaving, sad
