Day 8: Three things you want to say to different people.

1. To all my friends: Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you for being so cool... That's it. No just kidding. :P I just really wish we had had some more time all together at one school. In other words, people need to stop moving away (myself included). Depending on which friend I talk about, I've known you as long as since 3rd grade, or maybe I'm just getting to know you this year. All I can say is, I don't regret any of it. Through the good, the bad, and the awkward, we have stuck together during it all. This sounds sappy as heck, but I love you guys. Stay awesome for me, but don't worry, I'll only be a town over if you need me.

2. To Mr. Trombetta and Ms. Longo: For two eighth grade teachers, you guys are pretty freaking awesome. Sorry to you, Mr. Trombetta, for starting huge debates and correcting your worksheet answers in your class, and to you, Ms. Longo, for refusing to speak in yours. Thanks to Mr. T for supporting what I'm aiming to do with my life, and reminding me that the best job to have is one you love. To Ms. Longo, thanks for letting me rave and rant at you about everything from bullies to difficult parents when we're supposed to be planning out a storyline (oops), and also for supporting me in the difficult endeavor of actually writing a full story. Thanks for being good teachers.

3. To my mother and stepfather: Gosh there are so many things I want to say. First of all, thanks for supporting my love of writing instead of telling me it'll never happen and that I won't be happy like some people. I want you to know that to me, being happy is more important than being rich. As long as there's a roof over my head and food in my mouth, I'm ok not making a ton of money. I want to write, I'm passionate about it, probably more than you'll ever know. But knowing that you two will back me up even if my other family doesn't approve really makes me feel better. I know and appreciate greatly how hard you're working to get us moved, and after finding out it's all for ME and MY education, I was kinda floored. But to be completely honest, it's not what I want most. I want more time to hang out with you guys individually, to strengthen our bonds and make like old times. I miss watching stupid chick flicks on Saturday nights and playing Wii bowling and getting my butt kicked by my own mother. I want to learn to cook from the best chef I know, and listen to crazy rock and metal and just plain chill. Seriously, though; let's hang out.

Sorry if this is weird or personal for anyone not mentioned in this. I know that two of the three parties I addressed will never read this, but it's nice to let it out... A shoutout to anyone reading this for not running away screaming after the first day, or this one for that matter. Thanks for all the reads guys!
