Friends

Friends. Everyone has them and everyone needs them. Some people say they have too many to count. That's not true. If you have too many friends to count then you just have fans at one point. If you can't ever remember their name or face, odds are they aren't really your friend. In junior high it seems like who your friends with is who you're judged by. I just want to say that's the dumbest idea i've ever heard. I have some pretty socially akward friends sometimes, that doesn't make ME socially akward. I have friends in completely opposite groups, and i'm pretty sure that's the best way to do it. You have your snobs (you shouldn't hang with them.) then you have the popular BECAUSE their nice group which is really fun to get involved in. You have the class clowns and yes even the girls groups have those. The key is to hang out with people that make you laugh and have a great time with. If you're too stressed around them, then you shouldn't be hanging out, or if your just not sure it's the group you feel good around then they will understand if you didn't quite mesh well :) all in all you should just be you and live your life with the friends that you come by by accident...those make BEST friends :)

time

Time. It's a huge issue and a huge blessing. Have you ever thought about what you would change if you could change just one thing. You could go back and stop yourself from meeting some one who hurt you or you could go back and meet a person you always wanted to but thought it wasn't important. Time makes and breaks relationships. Some one could've stopped those people from getting on that plane on 9/11. You could go back and tell some one you loved them and how you really felt before they were gone. Maybe even warned some one about what was about to happen. I would do a lot of things. I would stop myself from meeting any guy that would break my heart. I would stop a family friend from dying in Child birth by telling the doctors she would die. I would go back to that night at the basketball game and stop my best friend from shattering her cheek that night. Most of all though i know i wouldn't change a thing. My life is the way it is and i love it. If i hadn't met those guys i wouldn't know how great it is when i find the right one. If i had told the doctors that family friend would die then i wouldn't cherish life the same way.If i had gone back and stopped my best friend from getting hurt we wouldn't know how close we really are. What would you change...or would you?

Collections

So i enjoyed my break yesterday but you know i missed you guys. I have another topic that i would like to get some comments back on. Collections...their are weird ones and common ones but i want to hear what you truly collect. If your a very nonrepetitive person like me and can't handle the same thing over and over again like me then just tell me something you like. When i was younger i collected shells and a couple years ago i tried nutcrackers which i still like i just don't collect. Oh and when i was a little kid i had like 50 webkinz :p but now i collect these little drawings my friends do in fifth period...mainly lindsey but sometimes ashlen helps. Lindsey is my hilarious best friend or at least one of them :) and you haven't even seen comedy until you've seen one of her drawings. So what do you collect and/or like a lot.
