MYwe've known each other from KINDERGARTEN to now. and i don't mean, "yeah..she was in my class all the time..and we talked a few times"...i mean she was my BESTFRIEND from kindergarten to now. another thing...we live DIRECTLY across the street from each other. when i open my garage, her house is the first thing i see..12 years..
now..she's moving away...and not only her..but people i consider my family..her parents, her, and her sister rachel...
they're moving to another house that's maybe...2/3 miles from my house. i know it's not far...but living 2/3 miles away is not going to be the same as living across the street.
i grew up with justine. her family treats me as their own. i won't be able to take that walk across the street to bug them...i'll have to take my car...it won't be the same..
i'm not gonna make it long..maybe i'll blog more when they actually move.
rachel blogged about it. read about her feelings if you want...but she wrote something about me...and i want to share it with you folks:
[r a c h e l ' s a l o s e r]
ยป and one thing i forgot to mention: KAREN! mann... i've been living across the street from this girl for as long as i can remember. all the carpools to school up until now. her and my sister have been best friends ever since kindergarten, and now they're getting ready to start college. WOW. and karen's not just my sister's friend. she's my friend, despite the 3 year age gap. she knows my family. my family knows her (even my really extended family). heck, she's practically family. she's like another older sister. we've shared so many laughs, so many stories, i've told her things that i have yet to tell my sister, she teaches me things (like how to play the guitar), she put me in her cotillion, she gives me rides... she's great. it's gonna be really hard not having her only a quick walk across the street away. now i cant call her at like 10 at night asking for a ruler and not having to drive anywhere to get it. just open the garages and meeting eachother in the middle of the street. (yea..i'd appreciate my ruler back. haha) or a cup of milk or a cup or sugar or something. haha. i cant go to her house at like 10pm and come home at midnight anymore kus she wont be a house away anymore. i will now cost gas money to go to her house. i wont see as much of karen anymore as i do now. imma miss that silly kaka even though i'll still see her at least once a week after we move. no doubt about it. i'll miss the calls to open the garage because one of us needs to give to other something. i'll miss the "are you ready?" calls. i'll miss "running" around the neighborhood with her. i'll miss our tae-bo action even though we've only done that once. i'll miss the trip across the street and getting into her car for the ride here and there. the incredible voices of karen and rachel will live on!! i'll miss our "learning how to" jam sessions whenever one of us feels inspired. dude... im making it sound like im moving to like yemen or something. haha. but yea... bottomline is that i'll miss having you across the street, karen!... =T

SORRY FOLKS i'm sorry about not blogging. i'm starting to stress about stuff...
...primarily my cotillion...
it hit me...i'm a high school graduate. it's pathetic considering that i wake up at 11am, stay in my pj's, watch tv, play my guitar, go on FRIENSTER, eat, and whine at my mom how i don't want to watch the dishes....and i'm a high school graduate. no job...just going out. someone...anyone. my name is karen, and i need help.
my bf on the other hand..
..he's 18 and is going to be a senior. he's temporarily unemployed. he spends countless nights at kenneth's house playing video games with the guys. he lost his license a year ago..and must go through the whole process again. and oh yeah, he's a cotillion whore. he's been in 1....he's in currently 3 right now...and oh boy...there's more to come.
are you waiting for me to get to the point? yeah..there is no point...just some random information.

THIS IS FOR NATE haha. i don't blog much anymore, but nate claims to be the biggest "smells like kaka" fan from the Bay. haha. so here's to nate.i met nate on very weird circumstances. my original junior prom date (frederick) couldn't make it. he felt bad...i felt bad. being the SWEET guy that he is...he searched for a replacement.
this is where NATE comes in. he was the replacement. i thought about my options..
-going with nate
-going alone
-going with someone else
-no going at all
i EMAILED nate(haha) that i was flattered, but decided to go with someone else. we met once at my hommie jennelle's house. it was there when we were formally introduced and he showed me his imfamous "tercel"
a friendly guy...i got to know him better through his blogs. we don't talk much anymore...
but nate..you're one koool guy.

IT'S COMING SOON yesterday, at lunch, instead of going home, i spent my time waiting in the HOT SUN to get my yearbook. yearbooks are given out by seniority, so i was finally happy that i would get when it first came out. when i got home, i spent the next 2 hours going through my yearbook, page by page, reading it's contents. it was weird seeing myself in the beginning of the yearbook with the other seniors. it hit me...i'm graduating next week. thursday, june 12, i'll be walking the stage in front of my peers, family, and friends. for that brief second when my name is called, i'll be experiencing many emotions at the same time. it'll mark the closing of a chapter of my life, and the beginning of another.
it's crazy. it seems just like yesterday i was in middle school, scared of attending high school, not aware of what would happen. now, i find myself scared of leaving high school. i'll miss all my friends that i made those 4 years..i'll miss the friend i have..the ones i lost contact with...and the ones that i looked up to.
hahah. ok. i need to change the mood...
HONORS NIGHT is this tomorrow. yay.
the JUSTIN CONCERT is NEXT WEEK!!! woooohoooooo!
