Stay

I think this is my first request. for a post that is. I also mader her request a songh too. so this post is in response to carinne's threat inher last comment.

I gave this a lot of thought throughout the day. and based largely on the days events, I'd have to say the #1 important thing to getting me through each day would be my collection of friends. my friends range quite a bit. and regardless of the role they play in my sanity, they're all very important. and just because I've never met some of my friends doesn't mean they're any less important. even you guys who I know onlythrough the internet are just as vital to my survival.

this isn't to say that I don't love my family... but to me, friends are a different kind of family. cuz... you're born with your real family, you're kinda stuck with them, and they to you. your friends, however, are chosen, and they choose to stay with you, therefor making therelationship special and unique in every case.

without the support, distraction and commeradery provided by you guys I dunno where I'd be. and I just wanted to say I appreciate it. and if you're wondering if I am refering to you or not.... if you've ever readand commented on my blog, then yeah, I mean you.

I mean... the simple act of caring enough to come back and check in on me and leave comments and advice and w/e boggles my mind. with a couple of exceptions, all my friends read andcomment here, and that means a lot to me. and if not, at least they know when my birthday is. *sigh*

in other news, my brother, who is with my sister visiting in Southern California with family is in the hospital. after spending the day puking and getting progressively weaker, they took him to the emergency. its likely he was dehydrated, the doctor just saw him not too long ago. I'll
