hello, old friend.
3:33 AM
before I start uploading pictures of what actually happened at IGGY,
I want these people to know that I miss them and love them:
TONI.
The best roomie anyone could ever ask for. It IS pretty amazing how our room stayed in one piece, seeing as how it was ravaged by Hurricane Toni and Hurricane Cara over the course of 2 weeks. You mean the world to me and in a way I'm going to miss looking out for you. You always know how to make me laugh and even though it gets a little confusing being on your rollercoaster of emotions sometimes, you know I've always got your back. You're beautiful and complex and hey slow down you crazy child; you're so ambitious for a juvenile...
I love you. Stay strong.
LYDIA.
I know that most of the time people probably just peg you as a pretty face and model's body and sometimes they just stop there. But the two weeks I've spent with you has let me see that you're beautiful out AND in. Under all that poshness (I love you for it) is one of the sweetest, most loving personalities I've known and I'll never forget how we held each other's hands and cried when we were recreating our very first SM meeting. I love you, Uptown Girl.
BETH.
I've gotta confess that I was a leetle scared of you at first- with your punk rcker clothes and your dark eyeliner (I know, I know, I should speak for myself) and your Avril Lavigne 'tude. But under all of that you're amazing and witty and funny and I actually miss hearing your accent and understanding about 11% of what you say. (it got better after the 5th day)You've spoilt Paramore and Avril Lavigne and Evanescence for me but I still love you TONZ. ps we two know the real power of cool caps. ;)
LISA.
I can't believe we didn't talk to each other before!
Yes, little vintage bunny. Like I said on FB- I'll always be the Morticia Addams/Nicole Scherzinger(as Ruo Ting says) and you'll always be the pure, sweet, innocent little thing that you are BUT I KNOW THAT UNDER THAT INNOCENT EXTERIOR LIES SOMETHING DARKER. and a lot of innuendo HAHAHA you and Joe never fail to crack me up. We've become like sisters and I don't want to lose that. See you around in school, lovely.
BECCA.
You're an amazing combination of fun and groundedness and I've always admired that. You had to leave us early ): but we had so much fun together. I'll never forget all the guy stories you shared with us during those late night (and illegal!!!) sleepovers. You're my wake-up-in-the-morning-with-a-sexy-hoarse-voice buddy and I love you and miss you lots.
JAG.
MY FELLOW GOSSIP GIRL/COACH BUDDY <3 I miss you so much right now, you've no idea what I'd do just for another of our goss sessions. I don't miss you teasing me bout being related to half the animal kingdom, though, cuz obviously I'm not. But I miss you nonetheless. Remember our yellow taxi game? (I won) and asking your ipod questions and getting scarily accurate answers (Eyes Wide Open; Shut Your Eyes ROFL!) and our speshul code words: Tipex,Fishing, Mike, Blue Crayon. I love you.
SANUSHA.
You haven't put the pictures up on FB yet but I understand. It's hard to look back on the past two weeks without feeling absolutely depressed because we're all back home now and IGGY's over. But I guess what I want to say is: I don't regret any of it. You've been an awesome roomie and I'll miss you asking me for fashion advice and I'll miss your scones and your "this dress or this dress?"/"with jeans or not?"/"what should I wear this with?". You've been absolutely amazing and you've put up with my (occasional) airheadedness and I guess what it boils down to is that ily.
SOPHIE.
I miss you so much right now. I miss the way you'd scream "CARAAAA" and how you were so possessive and how I'd blow air kisses to you. Remember our dirty dancing and the mortifying nose-banging incident OMG. I'm surprised we didn't get nosebleeds. You're a real wild child but I love you for it. Look after my bra and remember me when you wear it. x
THE BOYZ OF THE DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY.
Gosh I miss you three sooo much right now; you have no idea. I miss seeing you guys struggle with writing with the gigantic Singapore pens I got y'all and forced y'all to write poetry with. I miss Joe's silliness and Julian's cynicism and Sid's smart-but-niceness. I miss Joe's cap. I miss Julian's aversion to being in photographs. I miss Sid's hugs. I even miss the revolting way you guys eat lunch, which is saying something.
Who else but The Dysfunctional Family would've bonded over topics like Does God Exist? and marijuana and hashish? Who else would spend half an hour debating fervently over religion and get all fired up but still be friends at the end of it all?
I don't care if this is mushy- I love you guys and I miss you so much. Wish y'all were here.
JOE.
hey you. I'm not quite sure how you wormed your way into my IGGY experience, cuz if I recall, on the first day we were at CW you kinda gave me monosyllabic answers and I thought you were completely disinterested. But as Fate would have it- we ended up getting really close and we had a blast together yeah? I miss your smelly old cap and you stealing my nice clean one off my head and you teasing me bout being short. I'll never forget the goofy grin you got on your face when we started talking about hashish and our sekrit but not v discreet fingerhold under cushions in CW class during the talk about the Fibonacci sequence and you dancing with me at gala so ____ wouldn't get to me OMG. Remember: pink star wristband! and I'll see you when I see you. x

it's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
