(except for the looooong updates on our lives...) keep me updated on the stich, hun! which bus/train did you take? thanks for listening to me and promising to "defend my honour"!!! :p we definitely have to meet up with justin, ju, derrick, and everyone else... when are you guys free?

so i think i'm going out with kalam and brandon tonight...? just don't know what we'll be doing.

I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS!!!!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!?!?

just when i think i'm either overcome with anger or just plain over him, my heart feels a little "pang". a small one, but one nonetheless. gah, you all must hate listening to me by now... "all tiffany talks about these days is 'boys boys boys!' " ;p

hey, so do you think it's possible to fall for a guy that you barely know, solely on the basis of reading his blog about his thoughts on faith and his 'walk'? honestly, he's just an acquaintance, but every time i read his page (which i stumbled upon by randomly clicking on my friend's page), it kinda... strikes me... hm, or maybe it just challenges me a bit more in my faith. i don't know... but hey, it's not like he's a complete stranger!

so i think a friend of mine was/is slightly mad at me b/c i said some things that he didn't want to hear. crap. i'm just trying to help and be realistic (i bet you hate that word now) even if you aren't... but i'm really sorry if i upset you. please forgive me!

uh oh, i think the vacuum's busted. double crap - this means i can't take it to kingston with me. oh my, the basement's slowly filling up with the fumes of burnt vacuum motor thingies... not the most appealing, appetite-whetting odour, i must say.

hm, it would seem that rohan likes to be loved.... (check out his multiple comments below!)

so yeah, just got back from church and lunch... oh flip (trying to curb my obscenities... i figured it's not a christianly thing to do...), i suddenly realised that i'm hungry again... that's ok, i have SHRIMP CHIPS! mmmm! (i'm thinking all you non-chinese people are thinking that i'm really weird about now, but i swear, they're reallly good!) they don't taste anything like shrimp... omg, i gotta tell you guys, last year while i was away in kingston, my grandpa bought me some foodstuffs for me to eat (seeing as queens caf food tastes like... grossness...). he bought me some "prawn candy!" that's right! candy! not chips or anything! it was actual candy with a big prawn on the packaging... of course, he bought it at some chinese supermarket - the package was covered with incomprehensible (to me) japanese words - it all looked pretty sketchy. to make matters worse (or funnier), they put a sticker on it in english that explained the ingredients... here's the label, verbatim:

"ingredients: candy."

that was it! isn't that breaking some codes/rules somewhere? i have NO idea what was in it, besides... candy! (and i assume prawn, seeing as there was shrimp on the packaging) oh, and if you were all wondering, yes, due to overwhelming curiosity, i did taste the candy and... let's just say i tried to secretly deposit the rest of the bag's contents into marco's room afterward... it was sweet and didn't (thankfully) taste like shrimp, but it's just wasn't something to my liking.

doing pdl this past week has really challenged me in a good way... i'm trying to let go of a lot of anger, resentment, and fear that i've been nursing this past month... hm, i wonder how all that came about? ok, ok, i gotta let go, but every once in a while, i'll say something out of bitterness and it ain't healthy! so... praying for change... because i don't like that side of me, i've always been known as the "sweet" girl (or so my many yearbook message supposedly say), not the embittered, crotchety girl with "anger issues" that i've become... ok, i'm not really crotchety (i hope), but it's such a fun word to say! go on, say it!

anyways, if you guys could pray for me... i'm having a wee bit of difficulty letting go... mostly because whenever i'm ok again, something happens to upset me again. maybe i'm too sensitive or something, because it could be the smallest thing, but it'll still set me off on a rant or some other downward spiral. jeeze, i've gotta get a grip! no person should be able to affect my personality or how i feel about myself like this! darn boys!

ooooh! hey! this guy from ohio (i think?) sent me a comment about my blog! no idea how on earth he found this page or how he could possibly find this interesting seeing as he doesn't know me (because, let's face it, folks, i'm not an interesting person! all i do is write about my boring day...), but that was still kinda cool. anyway, erik, "hi!" and welcome to tiffanyville... enjoy your stay!

ok, so the beaches jazz festival plans have been scrapped due to mother nature's nefarious plans to thunderstorm the afternoon away... bah! one day i will succeed in controlling the weather (a la storm from x-men!), you'll see! so yeah, since i didn't want the day to go to waste, i'm having a few people over to my house just to hang out, talk, watch episodes of daria (or sb emails), rent movies, etc... pretty low-key, but should be fun. if anybody else is interested, you're welcome to come over... we're just hanging out at my house after church (around 2pm or so?).

yeah, so went to the second of two angels games today to cheer 'em on (and scout them out for when we play them.... ok, not really, since i have a short-term memory and i don't really care about that kind of stuff anyway...) i went with kalam, pui-ying (sp?), and mei... met up with felix, benita, and gable after they were done their game, and we went to the agape bbq afterwards. it was so weird... all seven of us were piled in uncle thomas' van, with felix driving, and we were talking about how we all hadn't been to agape in ages and then, all of a sudden, practically all of the agape kids were there in the van!

so yeah, the food was good at uncle arthur's... mmmmmmmmeat! veggie sticks, more meat, chinese noodles of course (it IS a chinese person's bbq, you know), watermelon, and yummy cheesecake! afterwards, we started watching "white men can't jump"... hadn't seen it in ages... so weird, looking at what was "cool" back then... the clothes, the mama jokes, the hair...

well, looks like i'm just going to meet up with mei at the bbq instead. man, i'm reserving that cheesecake for just the two of us! mmmm...

hey, did you know that there's a ginger snaps 2 coming out in the fall? and they're coming out with ginger snaps 3 (a prequel)? the first ginger snaps movie was great! sure, the video box/case looks stupid, but it's an excellent, canadian horror flick. though, be warned, this movie has a morbid/macabre sense of humour... especially during the first scene, eh grace? don't say i didn't warn you... oh, mimi rogers is hilarious in this movie! so yeah... watch it if you like scary movies! (though it's not "scary", per se...)

i'm back from my downtown excursion with erin! we just walked around the eaton centre and yonge street and shopped for a few hours. then we had dinner at ginger 2, this yummy vietnamese restaurant with pretty good prices on yonge. yum! i love viet spring rolls... better than chinese! so yeah, we shopped, joked around, discussed homestah runnow, and got to really catch up on each others lives... it was really good. we're planning on meeting up almost every week for the rest of the summer (to make up for the previous few months), anybody's who wants to come is welcome... i think we might hit up the beaches jazz festival this weekend, the taste of danforth, and some other stuff too. i think we're having a movie night next week... can anybody come up with a good theme? i think sometime we're going to have a "pop star" movie night just for (unintentional) laughs... (i.e. mandy moore movies, spice world, crossroads, glitter... something like that) any other good suggestions for themes? oh! and themes for parties too! let me know!

what's been running through my head ALL DAY... "say, come on fhqwhgads, come on fhqwhgads... everybody to the limit, everybody to the limit, everybody come on fhqwhgads!" catchy, non? but you gotta check out this email and then this other one first for it to make sense...

if you're interested in finding a "purpose driven life", i suggest you read the page to get an idea of what it's all about... i have a feeling that it's going to help me out a lot... hope you check it out too. warning: religious content inside!

you know, i realise that from reading these things, it seems like i'm constantly upset or angry... i'm really not! i only really write when i'm agitated b/c i find it cathartic... writing out my feelings really helps me work things out for myself... it just makes me look like a majorly moody, unbalanced girl or something since i'm always ranting about something or another. so this blog really isn't a realistic portrait of what i'm like most of the time, just a snapshot of how i'm feeling at that moment instead.

i just don't want you guys to worry ;)

argh! it didn't post! must retype:

had a nice day today. spent the day with anika having an orlando bloom-fest (pretty much). saw pirates of the caribbean and then watched the extended dvd of lotr at her house... good company... good times... good food... good ice cream... what more could you ask for? it was a thoroughly enjoyable and undemanding day.

oh, and for those who live in my area: if you're planning on theatre-hopping at the queensway cinemas, make sure you call home before the first movie... we discovered that the pay phones are now located just outside the little ticket-taker's booth (meaning that you have to 'exit' the theatre first). this is why we didn't end up watching lxg... psh, like i'd pay to see that movie? it looks pretty terrible...




thoughts from last night (but i didn't post up):

conflicting thoughts.
encouragement? anger? avoidance?

you should have spoken up sooner... or not at all.
because, you predicted correctly, i do resent you.

but i'm over it now, you're not worth all this.

want to know how to get on this list as well? well, then just sign my new guestbook! it's as easy as that! she was the first and only person to sign it as of right now, hence the love. *muah*

as to when we're going to meet up, what's your schedule? i'm thinking that mine's a lot more open than yours is (seeing as i'm still not working...), so just icq me or give me a call sometime. um, i know we don't have softball this week (camp's this coming weekend), so i should be free if you wanted to meet up? oh! and i'm sure ju and the others would love to get together. anyway, let me know what's a-happening, ok?

ugh. must discipline myself. stayed up 'til around 5am or so, finishing up the fifth harry potter book. so very tired. but the book was good... harry's definitely a teenager now, he's so moody! oh! i hate that umbridge woman! and i can't believe that _________ is gone! very upset about that.

jon's updated his turkey page... check it out and please pray for my brother.

oh, so just decided to check out my friend marco's page and found this "teaser" there:

---

a) We are two Queens University students

b) We are asking for your problems

c) We are offering 10% of the money we win

d) We can win up to $15 000 (that means up to $1 500

    cold hard cash in your pocket)

I hope that caught your interest. You can find out more at

yeah, so please check out my friends' page if you get the chance! they'd really appreciate it, and if you decide to help them out, don't forget to use me as your referral! ;)

the sermon was good today... must remember to utilise my talents instead of squandering them... i just have to figure out what my talents are! i have no idea, there's nothing that i really "shine" at that i know of.

was acting slightly weird today... was pissy to david... sorry! but yeah, i think he was acting a little weird/aloof today as well... but then again, i could just be overreacting or making things up again, i have a tendency to do that it seems...

> a sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.
> you make me smile for no reason whatsoever, you make me laugh at the unfunniest things, but most of all, you make me love you when I shouldn't be loving you.

THE HILL

by: Rupert Brooke (1887-1915)

BREATHLESS, we flung us on the windy hill,
Laughed in the sun, and kissed the lovely grass.
You said "Through glory and ecstasy we pass;
Wind, sun, and earth remain, and birds sing still,
When we are old, are old...." "And when we die
All's over that is ours; and life burns on
Through other lovers, other lips" said I,
"Heart of my heart, our heaven is now, is won!"

We are Earth's best, that learnt her lesson here.
Life is our cry. We have kept the faith!" we said;
"We shall go down with unreluctant tread
Rose-crowned into the darkness!".... Proud we were,
And laughed, that had such brave true things to say.
-- And then you suddenly cried, and turned away.

ketan said hi to me today (technically friday night), so in his honour, i'm posting up two links for you guys to check out that he introduced me to. it's one of those personality tests, and i find this one to be surprisingly accurate, detailed, and informative... ok, to take the test, go to the jung typology test. once you have your results (what personality type you are), match it with its detailed description on this page... it's quite interesting... so what type are you? i'm an esfj.

> introduction to romeo, craig armstrong
> la femme d'argent, air

spent the evening with brandon... we went to square one for a bit - so he could buy a jersey (out of spite for the marks and sym! heh.) and so i could get the difference from a tank that i bought (to match my purple fashion crimes purse!) that recently went on redline... $3.45 back, baby! and since we had some time to kill before the movie started at ten, we just hung around and talked about different things. it was nice spending time with him (even though his gaze kept wandering... to his cousin! ahahaha! just j/k... he's not a big perv). so yeah, we saw finding nemo! i really liked it! was not disappointed by all the "hype" since everybody keeps telling me to go see it. loved dory and her whale dialects! must learn to speak it! yeah, so it was really good (though the beginning was so sad!) and i liked it, though i'm not sure if brandon did or not... he was too busy napping... apparently i have a comfy shoulder... but it was all good and now i feel happy, so yay! the littlest things can make me so happy!

how do you like this new layout?

what the heck is with all this space under here?

feedback: so i'm told (by brandon) that the green doesn't suit my page... that i should stick to blue... well, i kinda agree - i AM a blue kinda gal - but too bad! i'm sticking with this layout for a while! i don't know, the colour may not necessarily suit me, but i still like how it looks... now if only i could decipher this html code so i can get rid of all that extra space after the most recent post.... (like that stuff down below...)


hrm. so yeah, have been burning jon's cds onto my comp today... psh, buy things? spend money? not me!

and have been watching many, many episodes of daria... such a good show... SO funny! my favourite characters are the psychotic ms. li (gotta love the way she reverently says "lawndale high"), kevin and brittany (so, so stupid), and my all-time faves, the fashion club... every time i hear sandi's voice, it cracks me up... "tiffany dear, eyelid-consuming monsters simply do not exist. only an extremely gullible loser would believe such a laughable tale." oh, and is it just me, or does sara ford pop into your mind whenever you see quinn?

just read this off of somebody's aa page... a group of professionials asked some kids, aged 4 to 8 years, "what does love mean?" it's amazing how profound and wise some kids can be... their answers:
> love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day. ~ mary, age 6
> love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well. ~ tommy, age 6
> love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday. ~ noelle, age 7
> love is what makes you smile even when you're tired. ~ terri, age 4
> if you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend whom you hate. ~ nikka, age 6
> love is what's in the room with you at christmas if you stop opening presents and listen. ~ bobby, age 5
> you really shouldn't say "i love you" unless you mean it. but if you do mean it, you should say it a lot. people forget. ~ jessica, age 8
> love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip of it before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is ok. ~ danny, age 7
> when somebody loves you, the way they say your name is different. you know that your name is safe in their mouth. ~ billy, age 4
so now i pose this to you: is mine safe in yours?

did you know that it takes a very, very long time to bus to pac mall from my house? like two hours or something ridiculous like that! yeah, so spent the day with matt again, this time at pac mall and market village. i think it was a bit of a let down for him, b/c there really weren't that many stores that we were interested in going in, but i think it was still ok b/c he still managed to pick up a few things. so yeah, we mostly walked around, up and down the "streets" talking. i'm totally glad that he's a nice, amicable person or else these past two days would have been majorly awkward. i think he had a good time? anyway, i now have a crick in my neck b/c i was lugging around my oac yearbook and some pics in my bag to show him. he thinks that matt foster is the one who's changed the most dramatically, and i do see his point... heh, miss hearing his laugh! anyway, am now back home, eating original pringles b/c i'm too lazy to fix myself a proper dinner. um, that was my day.

had a completely busy, but good, day. met up with matt wong (he still looks pretty much the same... but older? i don't know, just slightly different) today with grace to show him around downtown and take him shopping. did so much walking!
abbreviated itinerary:
eaton centre, then up yonge to bloor, down bloor to bay, took ttc from bay to osgoode, down queen st until beverley, up bev to dundas, walked around the ago, walked down dundas to spadina, down spadina (and in the two chinese malls) back to queen st, down john st to paramount, sat and talked at paramount for quite a while, then walked down to king st, walked down king all the way to university, up university to dundas again, then east on dundas back to eaton centre. fin.

i was worried that things would be awkward since i hadn't seen him in four years or so, and we hadn't been that close friends, but things turned out pretty well. he's a really nice guy, we probably could have become pretty good friends if he had stayed in toronto, i think. anyhow, we bonded over the screwed-upness of relationships... :) sigh. but yeah, good day in that i spent it with friends, bought a tank to go with my purple fashion crimes purse, and it took my mind off the boy. going to get together with matt and felix tommorrow, i believe.

sigh. you didn't come.

still very tired. i'm so not a morning person - well, i'm not when i haven't had a good rest due to stomach pains and etc... oh well. the announcement went well, i think. though i didn't really do that eye contact thing b/c i think i put my contacts in funny so things were kinda blurry there for a while... hrm. jon should have reached istanbul by now.

um. added new link: jon's blog... if you're interested, he should be putting up updates and prayer requests there. plus he has some other unrelated stuff there too. check it out if you want. also have fixed vicky's link too since i forgot to add an 's' last time... if anyone else wants to be added, just say so.

crumbling....

won again today... 20-4... go team. yah, i really sucked today. though i think that the infield really did contribute to my suckiness - this new park, goldhawk (?) made other people play slightly badly too. (that's my story and i'm sticking to it!)

tired. so very tired. have to get up and prepare a short announcement for jon's trip tommorrow... wish me luck!

please be safe, jon.

gah. had kbbq. again. i've never had so much kbbq in my life... do you realise that this is the fourth consecutive week that i've had it? grossness! and the only reason why i'm there is b/c if i don't go, i don't get a ride back home from scarberia.

please be there tommorrow... i need to see you.

the "gospel" according to hello kitty psychological tests:
"you are OK at initiating relationships. you might be scared to make the first step sometimes even when you really want to because you are usually passive. but others always pamper you, so even if you don't do anything you might still be able to attract others. if you want a rich husband, it's not just a dream. but you should watch out because others might get jealous of you."
you saw it here, folks, i'm being encouraged to be a trophy wife!

just sent jon off to new york/turkey half-an-hour ago... bon voyage! praying for you every step of the way! i just read something that jon wrote that made me go "awwww!" honestly, you learn something new about somebody every day... jonathan, you truly are an inspiration to me. thank you.

goodness, i'm tired. went to sleep at 4:30am last night trying to finish off jon's care package... finally done , but now i'm dead tired and my stomach's still acting up. slightly better than the day before, but i still feel pretty bad. booo! i'm going to die at our softball game tonight...

oh! was mighty pissed yesterday, but gable, alan, and especially mei helped make me feel better when they dropped by last night. thanks so much, hon! must remember to chant my new mantra... and to put my plans in action... ;)

i apologise for my vulgarity a few posts back... was extremely agitated that day. hrm. i think i gotta go tell somebody off in the near future... i need my peace of mind! but in the meantime, things are going well... the littlest things bring me joy as well ;) , and i just want to say hi to my dear friend jess... "HI!" miss you too, hon, and hope that we can meet up sometime soon. i'm free whenever, just give me a call!

prayer request: that jon will have a safe flight and trip to (and from) turkey. and that God will do wonderful things through him.

went shopping with brandon today (not a briefs man, eh?) and then saw pirates of the caribbean with him. decent movie. well actually, if johnny depp hadn't been in it, it would have been a terrible movie, but since his character was the best part in the entire thing, so i found it rather enjoyable. (next best, orlando bloom... yum.) a raft of sea turtles... haha... so stupid, but it made me laugh. promised anika that i was going to see it with her (b/c of orlando bloom), so i guess i'll be watching it again.

so generasians with kristin kruek, eh? i bet a lot of guys will be signing up this year... keith? marco?

whoa. jon's going in two days...

hey, so matt wong's coming to visit from texas... gonna meet up with him sometime next week? anybody else want to come?

the past few days:

friday - started to feel a little bit sick... sore throat and all... but spent the day with kalam, felix, and kalam's friend pui ying (sp?) downtown and then to markham. went to cornerstone where the program was a photo scavenger hunt and got to see felix have a "seizure" to kris kross' 'jump' (hello future blackmail material!). pure jokes. "word to your mother!" and hammer's "too legit to quit!" afterwards, went to commerce for kbbq (again! i'm going to weigh a thousand pounds by the time september rolls around!)... ed managed to get me home from there to my house in 18 minutes! nevermind that he was at one time going 150 kph...

saturday - felt really, really crappy but "was a soldier" (you would have been proud, bubba) and played softball today. after the game (which we won), jess and marco picked me and grace up from the diamond at warden and mcnicoll so we could all go to vic's birthday party located at yonge and finch. it took us around two bloody hours! jess kept saying that she didn't think we were going in the right direction, but grace kept saying "no, trust me, it's still much further..." we went so far east that we hit kingston!!! kingston road, that is... i didn't even know there was such a thing, and it's a large road too! you know you've gone too far when you see all these cars towing boats... and when kennedy road just STOPS... so yeah, i found a map and we managed to find our way back to the party... but the stupid street festival made us detour a billion times! argh. finally got there in one piece (though the cake was kinda melted and smushed) and had a grand time eating, talking, and playing tennis (which i really shouldn't have been doing seeing as i was feeling SO crappy and exhausted...). it was really good seeing jess, vic, marco, and xin again... hope you had a happy 19th birthday sweetie! hope all of your daniel wu-related dreams come true! well... all in all, a tiring but good day.

sunday - had another game after church. funny story: this game's diamond was just across the street from saturday's diamond (the warden area), and when sym gave us westenders a ride to finch station, it only took him TWENTY MINUTES to get there when the day before it had taken us TWO HOURS! wth! and that included a small detour to give mike a ride home in the opposite direction!!! sigh. so yeah, we won the game again by 26-3, i believe, and even though i was feeling a bit better from saturday, i think the weather still made me feel even worse. i cannot deal with hot weather. but kalam was nice enough to buy me a slushie from the ice cream man without me even asking him! so nice of him. after coming home, spent the rest of the night trying to rest.

monday - better, but stuffy nosed. did nothing during the day really, but went to dinner with david zhang and his parents. going to mcgill next year, so i hope he comes and visits me on his way to montreal. kalam came over for bible study with jon after dinner, gave me a rose from his garden as a get well present. honestly, i don't give that boy enough credit. he really can be a nice guy. AND he's the second guy to ever give me a flower. that raises his esteem instantly b/c nobody ever gives me any flowers! the first was alan, and that doesn't even really count b/c he had a whole bunch of carnations and he was just offering them to people (and yet i'll still remember him for it, b/c it was a nice gesture nonetheless). so let this be a lesson for all you guys out there, you really want to impress me and win me over? give me flowers! you don't even have to buy them! just pick them from someplace! hell, even dandelions!

tuesday - i am now officially named "sneezy". resting some more today... nothing planned... oooh! except that i have a phone date with brandon tonight! much to catch up on!

one month, tommorrow.

saw terminator 3 with ed and kalam yesterday. i thought it was a good movie - it was surprisingly funny! "give me your clothes... now!" heh heh. so yeah, i recommend it. although maybe you shouldn't take my word for it, seeing as how i actually thought the hulk was enjoyable and everybody else thought it was crap. (i still stand by my convictions! i never saw the cartoon or read the comic, so i don't know if they screwed up the plot or not) anyway, had a good time last night with them (they agreed that the movie was good), and went to dennys after the movie (mmmmm... hash browns...). going to see them again today, i think. and felix and this other girl???? i don't know.

oh, just did a few quizzes:


-Perfect- You're the perfect girlfriend. Which
means you're rare or that you cheated :P You're
the kind of chick that can hang out with your
boyfriend's friends and be silly. You don't
care about presents or about going to fancy
places. Hell, just hang out. You're just happy
being around your boyfriend.

so today turned out to be ok... spent most of the day at ebru's (happy birthday, dr. cobra! and happy confederation day!). got to see the whole gang again (even caitlin was back from england!) and just spend time talking with various people and eating way too much junk food... it was really good. don't spend enough time with them, trying to remedy that... going to see pirates of the carribean and shop at heartland with anika (mmm... orlando bloom...), seeing finding nemo with jeanie, bend it like beckham with eebs... all in due time...

yeah, so left at about 9:30-ish b/c karen was kind enough to give me a ride back home, and as i was home i ended up wishing that a certain someone had called me up to ask if i wanted to see the fireworks with him. but he didn't. (why would he?) so i ended up watching some seinfeld and temptation island (australian version!!), and just generally hanging around.

rant the second
gawd. i hate this. it's not like i'm pining away or anything, but this is driving me nuts. what am i supposed to do when the person i want to talk to the most is the one person i swore i wouldn't call? with the way things are, i'm not even sure if i'm supposed to call, email back, or message you, or if i'm just supposed to wait... like i said before, it's going to be a long time before i see you again. well, maybe two weeks isn't really a long time, but to me, it's going to be agony... just waiting... i was never very good with being patient. but yeah, i don't know what to do. i just want to pick up the phone and talk to you, but i'm not going to. i'm not going to initiate anything even if i go insane in the process. you haven't even told me what you really, really want either. you give me options, which i'm glad b/c you're thinking of me, but that's not what i need. there are no alternate options for how you feel or what you want. so what will it be? sigh. what do you need and what do you want? is there a difference? whatever you decide, i'll be ok with, as long as you don't try to shut me out of your life... i deserve better than that. sigh. i need to see you. actually, it'd probably be better to see you face-to-face than talk over the phone b/c i have a feeling that i'd just end up crying on the phone (leading to major discomfort on your behalf), whereas in person, i'd keep my composure a lot better. it's not like this is the end of the world or anything, i suppose i just have a flair for the dramatic, but honestly... it's not so much as the loss of the relationship as it is the friendship... the thought of a summer without you seems so stale and unbearable. it hurts.
