People… 2005-06-25 - 11:34 a.m.
BigD has a (very) hot girlfriend but has been known to paint his nails and wear pink bracelets. He also molests his male friends constantly, which is very funny to watch and probably why he does it. Poor, sweet Bean was trying to drink his beer last night, BigD grabbed his hand and forced it down to the table, then sat there holding it and grinning. Bean is lovely. Yet he's unable to believe that of himself… low self-esteem prevents him from recognising that all the girls he is friends with get a little mushy over him (myself included). He should be a therapist… he likes to listen to people's problems and try to help them out. He's got a girlfriend now, and I envy her a little, even though I've never had any intention of going out with Bean. He's just that kind of guy. Well, having talked about those two clowns, it seems a shame not to talk about the rest. I know I'm going to uni in the autumn, and while I'm glad to put high school behind me on the whole, there are certain people who have been part of the whole thing, and soon enough they won't be around me anymore. *warning: this is going to turn into a lengthy tribute…* LetsGoCrazy: My oldest, sweetest friend. She's an unashamed romantic, loves Jane Austen books and period films. She's irrepressible and funny, and a good girl through and through. e.g. Someone complimented her top, she said "Thankyou, it's my mum's!", with pride. Her decibel levels rise to unbearable levels when she's drunk, but I don't like to tell her so, cause she's having so much fun. Ziggy– cause she plays guitar. :-). Very talented song-writer, I'm in a band with her. She has a kooky, innocent way about her, which is deceptive– she totally isn't. Her underconfidence makes me protective. I first knew I liked her in year 10, when she did a presentation in English about how she'd decorated her bedroom like a jungle, saying how much she loved it, except there were all these things wrong with it… It's hard to explain how funny she is, but I couldn't stop laughing. She just says exactly what she's thinking. TheRock– "I'm obnoxious, but charming!" Funny, funny man. We playfight constantly. We've gotten a lot closer in the past year. He's just solid, as the name suggests, and has great integrity. I'd say that he and LetsGoCrazy are my closest friends. Quarters– Very well-spoken bloke, sounds public-school even though he isn't. Plays the trumpet. Geeky exterior makes him appear a very respectable young man, but in fact he's an attention whore who's addicted to sugar, which makes him hyperactive and twitchy. Wants everyone to look at him and laugh, perhaps even more than the rest of the clowns I hang around with, and he's genuinely funny. He's a thoroughly decent bloke, though like Bean he has an edge of self-pity which is entirely unnecessary, considering what a nice person he is. Swede– Loves films, though these tend to be of the big blockbuster type. She's a proud star-trek fan… can't say our tastes overlap. Like me though, she's a band geek. She's a very sorted type of person… she knows what should be done and how to do it, and will tell everyone else how they should be doing things too. She tends to look on the guys as Odd, and shows it, which makes me laugh. They are, of course… I like the way she knows her mind, and she's got a good sense of humour. I think she might be a bit lonely, which is a shame. Hedgehog– whiney, neurotic, fragile bullshitter. But funny and sweet at times, when he's not being mean. I don't understand now how we went out with eachother for 6 months, we disagree on so many things, and his ego is way too fragile. Still, it was a first-time relationship, and one I don't regret. I still care about him, but in a distant way, cause we're incapable of being close. TheWriter– Opinionated, self-absorbed, friendly, OTT and subdued by turns, driven, stubborn, forgetful, geeky in a very cocky way. Awkward, would be the word… yet very… truthful. :-). I can't describe him so good. We got along very well, the few times we saw eachother, to the extent that separation left me crying. He doesn't live anywhere near me, I'm probably never going to see him again. He's been a strange episode. I don't know how much of it was illusion… we are still friends now… I have to call him sometime. I wish I could have known him better, on a face-to-face level, shared more experiences, more time. But, impossibilities. Meh, on we go. Hum, I'm too tired to describe anyone else. I haven't got a big network of friends, and that list includes those I'm closest to. I dunno what the purpose of this entry has been… But if anyone's reading this and wanted to know, that was my high-school crowd (excepting TheWriter, who has been significant for other reasons). A note to come back to in the future I suppose, to remind me of people who were important to me, some who I will hopefully continue to know. ~T.
