well, i decided it's about time to plug some people on dland here. everyone else does it all the time, and well, i hardly say thank you enough.
>>first i have to say thanks to leah because she always knows just the right things to say to help me out.
>>trays is a big help too. she constantly reminds me that i am a normal teenager and that i feel things other teenages can relate to.
apparently, i am always relateable in some fashion (don't understand this one much though).
>>though as of late he hasn't been around much to talk to, i have to say that usually dave is one of my biggest supports.
>>i want to say thank you to all of you who supported me when i thought i lost cherise. there are too many to name, but you know who you are.
>>i want to say thank you to katy even though she perhaps hasn't done anything directly to improve my life, just reading her words makes me feel better.
>>thank you to sommer for her kind words of encouragement and empathy. i'm glad she wants to look out for me, as i can always use new soul seekers. :)
>>i have never read a kinder comment about me than vikki's. Her words are touching too.
>>i know i can always count on leslie to let me know when the real world is being hidden. and she is all about that empowering quality of being a girl and i don't know anyone else that can make me happier when i have guy troubles.
>>sarah has been a big help in making me remember that a guy cannot control my actions all the time. she makes me see the bigger picture. i would be lost without her sometimes.
>>Finally, as this was the spawn of this thanking idea thing, i must say thank you to joey. i promise from now on i will try not to be as much in pain as i act. it means a lot to me to know that you sympathize with me even if you don't really know me. it means that much that all of you do. and for those of you who do know me, don't think i love you any less. don't think you aren't important in my life. because after all, i can't spend all my time online.
>>cheryl you mean more to me than i let on. i am sorry for the way i treated you last night. honestly, i do know that i have your shoulder, but sometimes it is easier to explain to someone you don't know. because then i can't be judged.
>>karly man, what can i really say that hasn't already been expressed? you've been my best friend for a long time, and i'm glad i can count on you.
>>anthony and keith, you guys better know how much you mean to me. i don't think 3 months would have happened without both of your support. and hell, here i am at almost 6!
>>and for the rest of you? who needs ya! just kidding. rachel, lian, jenny, amers, rebecca, bob, allie, and the countless others, you mean so much to me.
i am dependent. i do need my friends. but hell, with great ones like these, why would i want to be alone?
[edit: april 25th, 2004]
it's been now over a year since i've updated this. i won't ever take the people off my list that i thanked, but i'm here to add a few more names.
>>thanks to pamela for all the amazing things she's taught me. for keeping my sanity together even when hers was slowly falling apart. thank you for letting me steal your html and fixing silly things that i just couldn't get the way i wanted them. thank you for supporting me and teaching me what friendship and having a sister can truly be like. you've touched my heart.
>>and then there's bryan who i know i wouldn't be here today without. and i have to thank him for making me see the sides of me i was trying to hide. he's the best friend i've ever had, and he's taught me so much about life, living, and especially myself. he keeps up the attitude of strength and positive reinforcement, and he's so much of what kept me going for so long. he changed me, and he made me a better person, he made me stop looking out for the negatives and start trying to fix my life. and no one else has been able to touch or come close to that.
>>there's matt who has jumped into my life not so long ago and drastically changed who i believed i was. he keeps me jumpy, peppy and smiling almost all the time, and i thank him for that. i thank him for letting me love him and loving me in return, for being all i ever wanted, (what all the other boys all promised....sorry, brand new tangent) and for making me truly truly happy.
>>and then of course there's kim who has done a remarkable job of cheering me up, and giving great advice.
>>jeff and katie who've listened to all my bitching and whining and crying, and still try their hardest to put a smile on my face.
>>and i never thought i'd say this, but thank you to charley for changing my life, if only minorly. for opening me up and letting me be happy with matt. for finally admitting that he loves me, and erasing the fears and the pain in my heart.
>>laura has pulled me through many a difficult time, as have many many of my sisters, so many in fact, that i couldn't do justice individually naming any of them.
>>and there's peter who loved me unconditionally though i tore at his heart very knowingly, and he kept at it, doing his best to make me happy.
>>there's of course my big brother, john who i wouldn't have made it through pledging let alone first semester of college without. and all my other Brothers who i can't get enough of, and can't believe i'm so priviledged to be with.
>>and i'm sure there are so many others i'm still forgetting, but to everyone that's impacted my life, small scaled or craters, thank you. thank you for making me who i am, and who i am going to be.[/edit]
