Jumping on the bandwagon (10 things I want to say)
Because let’s face it- I don’t have anything better to do right now! I’m at work and today has been so unbelievably slow. With the exception of one wee little issue that I had with the Boston Globe this morning, I’ve had nothing to do.
Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever)
Day Seven: Four turn-offs.
Day Eight: Three turn-ons.
Day Nine: Two images that describe your life right now, and why.
Day Ten: One confession.
1. You make me so incredibly happy. I love you to bits and pieces and bits and pieces of those bits. You’ve made me a better person and have taught me so much about myself- you’ve helped me to grow in so many positive ways and have made me face uncomfortable truths about myself in constructive ways. I know that someday we’ll look back on these past few years and laugh at our naivety- both in our feelings and, occasionally, our actions. I hope that we continue to grow together, love, laugh at, and help eachother for the rest of our days.
2. You mean the world to me and I hope that I make you proud. The love, compassion, and understanding that you have shown me throughout the course of my life defies my understanding of what it means to give those things; please know that I accept them with more appreciation than I will ever be able to put into words- I am so thankful and feel so incredibly lucky to have you. I love you so much.
3. Stay strong, but don’t be so afraid to show your feelings. You’ve had some pretty awful things happen to you these past few years- things that I couldn’t even imagine having to go through. I still can’t even begin to fathom how you must have felt when he died. Everybody loves you so much- you don’t have to be afraid that they’ll back away if you let them see you cry. Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on more times that I can count- thank you for being there for me. I love you!
4. Hang in there. I know that everything will work out in the end.
5. You’ll need to learn to be honest with yourself before you will ever find a happy relationship- I know that you think you have been, but you haven’t and aren’t and it’s so painfully obvious to those of us around you. I wish that you’d listen to what I have to say before always dismissing me. I think that’s a big part of the problem that you’re having.
6. I want nothing more than to see you happy and healthy. I’m happy that you’ve found Webster- I think that he compliments you so so well. Love you!
7. I miss you and am sad that we’ve moved so far out of your life. I wish that we could be closer to you- I miss spaghetti on Sundays and swinging by your house for a soda and a conversation. My heart wells over with emotion when I think of you, all alone, at home. Ugh, I’m going to cry at my desk! I wish that I weren’t so awkward and I wish that I were more open with how I feel about you- you’re aging and I know, I just know- I KNOW- that someday I’m going to look back on these years with so incredibly much regret. You’ve given me so much and know me at my core. I love you.
8. Move to Minneapolis when the show ends in May. You won’t regret it, I promise! San Francisco, shman francisco.
9. Lighten up- you’re going to give yourself an aneurysm at the ripe old age of 30.
10. Do you ever look at your life and wonder how you’ve become who you’ve become? Do you ever truly feel regret or remorse? Do you realize that we can all see through your lies? You aren’t fooling anyone! You’ve lost friend after friend after friend and I hold on because I love you from the bottom of my heart and want to see you succeed, but as the years continue to pass and so little changes I’m losing hope. Let go of the drama and stop lying all the time.
