last night i was having a bit of a nostalgia session, not only of year twelve, but of .. say six months ago. its so crazy how things change in such a short amount of time.
even in the past six months, people have gone and new people have come into my life. my closest knit of friends has changed - you know the people that you talk to nearly everyday, that you seem to know what's happening in their lives etc. the ones you chat to straight away on msn, that your mobile inbox is full of, that you don't hestiate to sit next to in lectures.
its always a risk to name said people, cause sometimes people think you're closer to them than you are to them.. but anyway, here's my heart on my sleeve. i know it's hard work to keep friendships going - i mean it's easy if you're 'forced' to see them everyday/week.. but when they move away, its then you see if you and the other person tried enough. sadly, i can't say that i have.
saying all this, i really miss jackie. she was my best ~white~ friend.. and for the first few weeks when she was in london we kept in touch, and it was as if she never left. now she's in ghana, and i don't even know what she's doing. we had the best time the last few weeks she was here.. so many crazy adventures! and im looking forward to going to london in december and meeting up with her - the ultimate jackiesarah adventure in london !!
but still, i miss that girl. i miss having someone to spaz (about anything really) with, to dance (interruptive dance) with, to stalk zefron (& impact people) with, to crazy drive around with (around the city, hook turns and to no where), to watch lame romantic comedies (so lame that we were litterally rolling on the floor laughing) with and to go to the park after impact to watch the stars and eat chicken knickers.
it's not an excuse, but at the start of the year, maria left as well. (and daniel too :P) i think that girl is probably x100 wiser than i'll ever be. when she left, we kept the emails going for a while .. but (not my fault :P) we stopped.. last night i rekindled our emailing, and found that it was probably april that we last corresponded. i mean, she's come back to melbol couple of times.. and we visited her in wangarratta once (at the start of august) . a few weeks ago she was back, and i must say that it was.. kinda awkward. we had nothing to say.. and that makes me sad . so i'm trying harder .. cause i have so much to learn from that girl ! XD
on the other hand, there are a few people who never even left melbourne that i hardly see anymore . i used to see emily every week even after she left acu, but in the past 6 months or so.. i've only seen her twice. she was my best friend at uni til she left. one person i miss is jn. yeah, i still see her once in a while for our dates and balwyn meetups, but still - there was a point in our friendship when i knew what she was doing all the time.
linda, and my dear brother always say that i'm really clingy. haha. reading this post, it definiately looks like it. i guess i just cherish my friendships a lot. and i expect a lot. all in a perfect world, i'm idealistic. and so, i'm learning that a part of maturing is knowing that things change.. and we just have to accept that.
on the other hand, a handful of amazingly awesome people have entered my life.
from tp, to stayallnightovers, to iceskating, to bananas, to shopping, to PETERBOROUGH and a lot of drama (and all that comes with that.. XD) . i have no idea what i did before these girls XD especially janey, its been such an honour to be your awesome leader :P im only as great as i am because you children are awesome.. but really! i love you janey, even with your gun (: there's a reason that i ding! you on msn straight away, and stalk you on the bus LOL . and more than because of biffle ! :P
and how could i forget, my nursing buddies. none of them read this, but heh. most people know the sadface i've been about having 'no friends' at uni . this semester has been the breakthrough, and what i've been praying for for the past year and a half. because of these people :

and for those that have been there all along - you know who you are .
(cause this post is already wayyy too long)
i love you (:

oh and technicaly, this is my 200th post . i just realised that before was my 200th post, but two of those posts were drafts from ages ago that i never posted. and how much more fitting this post was . without even trying . haha .

aww Sarah how kind of u referring to me as Jackie. Its actually Arman A-R-M-A-N but calling me jackie is ok. I am honoured to be ur best white friend. its kinda like being ur favourite white bread. wonderwhite.
Sarah wong i am beyond offended i had to resort to being called someone else.
Arman is your zac efron and i am the most important person to you ever. (Behind God of course). I am even better than morning glory and THEY shut down I didnt shut down. And u lied u sed the shop 'Arman' sold bling bling but in fact it sold million dollar diamonds. RUDE.
