An Email 3 years in the making, family, and Halloween
Happy Halloween, readers! How are you all doing today? I'm all right. I placed fifth in the Halloween Contest at RS.net. My mom and I finally ordered Roadrunner. It's 29.95 for the first 6 months and 44 something afterwards. I think if I'm really satisfied with Roadrunner in 6 months I'll give up AOL. It's gonna be installed sometime on Thursday. Yay! High Speed Internet, no phones, and greatness. Family info. Kat and Beach are now off in Florida. Chad is in town for a day or so. Mainly because his dad, my uncle Leroy is in the hospital. Dude almost died. His blood alchy level was 0.39% and at 0.40 it's lethal. Family and relatives have been calling and whatnot. So, I sent back an email to Shane and got a reply. I wrote him: "Hey, I was surprised/shocked to see your name in my inbox. I mean, REALLY shocked! The last time I heard from you was three years ago before my sophomore year in high school. I knew who it was IMMEDIATELY. I mean, how could I forget the person who, I honestly owe EVERYTHING to? You are the reason why I am who I am today. Well, the openminded side of me, the liberal side of me, and all that great stuff. I mean, you and I lost contact and for a while I was sad. But, then I got over it and was like... if he ever emails me, I will reply to his email. I owe him that much. He impacted my life lots. I have not gone by Jivuli in a long time. I haven't been to Kiara's Sahifa in at least 2 years. And, I left UGC in August 2003, after resigning from my admin post. I just... I dunno, the events earlier in the year, made me tired of the board. Basically, I left ezboard and went onto other places. Around the same time, my life changed. I found something that changed my life forever and gave me what you couldn't, no matter how much you tried to teach me: self-confidence and self-esteem. The quotes in my signature kinda... tell you. I found Kim Possible on the Disney Channel (ironically, as I write this email it is playing in the background!) and... I changed. The person you knew 3 years ago is different now. You were a part of my life before Kim Possible, and after Harry Potter came into my life. You helped me with so much during our short friendship. You were my Kim Possible before it impacted my life. :) To quote the Golden Girls theme song, "Thank you for being a friend." I would also like to thank you for impacting my life in the positive way that you did. Your friendship and guidance made all the difference for a 13 to 15 year old girl who was going through the trauma of middle school and first year of high school. I am honestly glad I had the two years that I had with you. I don't know whether or not if I would like to stay in contact because the chapter of my life you were in is over and done with and I'm onto a new part of my life. What's happened is in the past and I hope that you can feel satisfied with the impact you had on one person's life three to five years ago and that I am glad that I had you as a friend years ago. Thank you for giving me what you gave me. It has made all the difference. :)" Basically, he replied respecting my wishes and telling me how much I impacted his life too. As much as I'd love to have him in my life again, that chapter in my life is over and done with and I'm several chapters away from that chapter in my life. I'm grateful for having him in my life and glad for his friendship. I also feel glad that a huge burden is off my shoulders after 3 years, that's BKP, I have closure with him now. I mean, it's not like I'll ever forget him. Even now I think of him on occasion. My friends now have heard of him! I watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire last night. I made fun of British people whilst I did that. I got Commander In Chief DVDs! Theatre. Quiz. Oy vey.... Thought/Quote of the day: "They aren't climbing Mount Everest, Kim.
