Shooooooooooooot.
Ok if I didn't feel like crying before, I feel like it now.
I'm going to miss you Dana so much!! I can't believe she's gone and I won't see her until like, Thanksgiving!!! She's DANA! I mean, what if people come along and talk about sex and we don't understand? huh? what are we going to do? Who's going to tell us that's what the person is talking about?? And who's going to tell us that she's Jewish?? Wait, Dana, you're Jewish?? And who's going to borrow my coffee book? Or make fun of me? Or tell me to f myself? Or call me a bitch? Kt and I were discussing it and I figure some day I'll make a speech to someone like a graduating class. Here, I'll put on a little play:
Mr. Smith: Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to present to you, the graduating class of 2000whatever, a random Alumna to make a speech.
Me: Thank you very much, Mr. Smith. Hello ladies and gentlemen. Congratulations class of Aut-whatever. I know for some of you, it was hard and you can't believe you made it. Others of you it was just a breeze, I mean, duh you're going to graduate! Anyway, you're probably sad because this is the last time you're going to see all your friends. That is a lie. You'll see them at graduation parties throughout the summer. But then in the very end of the summer they're going to start leaving and THAT's when you can become really sad. But I'll never forget the last words my good friend Dana said to me right before she left for NCCharlotte... "Suck it up, bitch". And suck it up I did. Many said I just sucked and sucked and sucked. Today, I continue to suck. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the moral is, I suck. Thank you very much. PS, I want you all to, in the words of Dana, suck it up beeeotchs!
Mr. Smith: uh, you can leave now.
Anyway, I thought that would be a good plan. But what would I have done without Dana? I mean without Briana, we all know, there wouldn't be any boys in our group and I never would have become friends with Brian and that would have been sad, and without Dana and Jessy then Brian wouldn't have...well...it would have probably taken him a long time, to ask me out. I mean, Dana the relationship queen! Dana's the one anyone goes to for relationship advice. (She just burns through the dates, I mean she had 3 individual boyfriend and girlfriends on Saturday alone!!)
And when we're out who's going to talk to the waiters and waitresses and cashiers and random people?? I mean, Kim said it best when she was like "Dana, you have interesting people skills" Dana's awesome like "Mr. Sam" or the waiter (Juan?) at Applebees? And telling Ms. Leuchner "wait, sperm have flagella??" and saying it all with such a straight face that no one can tell if she's lying!! SHE IS THE BEST LIAR IN THE WORLD!! Oh man, she can make me laugh anytime!! And who will I talk about DeGrassi to? And 7th Heaven?? WHO WILL I MAKE FUN OF 7TH HEAVEN WITH?? And talk about when we were in REAL classes like AP Bio and AP American. AP American-I mean, what, we were pretty much the best kids in our class and we talked and joked our ENTIRE way through that class?? Ok so that was a BS class but that was SO MUCH FUN. (ok, so Dana and I are text messaging right now, but I still miss her) and I mean watching those movies? and him giving us 100s on our DBQs just because he didn't feel like grading them?? and who will I say "it works on so many levels!!" with? And what about gym class? *sorry, PE* who will spot me? And say I look cute upside down? And tell me my back is good looking? And what about the Underground Railroad is not a railroad that goes underground? huh? and what about "Warren G. Harding, was indeed, dead?" and what about "its potato or sex day, boy, and I have me a hankering for potatoes?" and "ow ow ow I have something in my eye-maybe its my hatred for YOU" or call Brian offensive? And talk about Teen Girl Squad?? And Homestarrunner? AND BRATz??? and "are you from Tennesee? Because you're the only 10 I see!" and who will I look at when anyone mentions Tenneesee or the South?? And all the AP Bio quotes--and Plantwoman, and the song, and who will bet me to tell Mr. Cornell that I go to school to show the boys how smart I am?? And who will I talk about fencing with besides fencing people? And who will scare Elric besides me? Who will be the pseudolesbian in our group?? And who will argue about religion?? And who will make fun of Greg Della Posta?? GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Ok well, the moral is, Dana you will be sorely missed.
Yesterday we went to the bowling alley but there was a mix up so we ended up all just driving to the Lake Effect Diner where Dana (of course) made best friends with the waiter because she didn't want sprinkles on her sundae!! And then we went to The Reverand Dan Orleman (DO)'s house to watch "The Road to El Dorado" to check it for badness---they swore THREE TIMES! Also (not that this is bad but) we checked it for uh...gayness quotient. Hi, those two were a LITTLE in love. Oh man. Anyway then some people went to Applebees but I went home to eat dinner and later we went to Spot but everyone came at different times. I got Orangina though and that was sweet!! Aw, Europe!! Then we went to Kim's house where the girls were going to watch the Babysitters Club Movie but I only had it in VHS and the boys were downstairs and Phil came and then Luke and Brian showed up and Kim gave me my birthday present--Le Divorce!! So we decided to watch it, but we paused it for alittle to watch the Olympics and then after the movie ended we watched somemore Olympics before we decided to go home because our guest of honor, Dana, was asleep on the couch. This morning we met at Tim Hortons (some later then others) and went to Danas' to see her off. She was expecting it, but at least we did it!! Anyway, there's a plumber at my house (putting in new pipes for my house and fixing the bathroom) and he seems to be smoking, and I'm tired, and I'm hungry, and I miss Briana, Dana...and Brian. Yea. I guess I'll watch some tv before the electrician comes and shuts off the power.
I miss you Dana.
I miss you the most.
But.... the really scary part is... I'm next.
