Hey guys and gals!

Just checking in. I haven't been around a lot lately, and as I made a quick check of the posts around here, it looks like everyone seems really happy, and that's really awesome.

Leander, I'm so happy for you! You seem like you've been struggling a lot lately and you sound very happy and excited about your future. You really, really deserve it. Many hugs and I hope things go well with Shiloh.

smith, smith, smith, didja get my card? Smile It sounds like you've been through a lot lately but you're a strong kid and I know you can get through anything. Ya just gotta keep the faith.

e, my favorite chef, you sound like you had such a good time at cooking school! And working for Wolfgang Puck?! That is SO awesome. I bow to your greatness, oh high and exhaulted chef! That's just too cool. Sad)

And a big hi to all my loved ones -- Timmy, D'Art, Lenny, Brian, Ron, Saben, Andy, Steve, and anyone else I missed! I miss all of you so much.

So let's see if we can do some catching up...

Senior year is almost over, I can't believe it! I've been doing well, but it's a bit of a struggle, since my teachers just love to pile on the work. It's getting to the point where I'm almost apathetic to it all, y'know? I actually submitted a valedictorian speech the other day, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll choose me... There's only about a month left! That said, my senior prom was last night, and it was so awesome. It was on a cruise ship! It was a beautiful night for sailing and just tons of fun. (Haha, smith, there was a cruel twist in the "prom situation." I have to tell you soon, hehe.)

Conor's still being a major league pain in the ass. I really shouldn't care about him anymore, and I really don't, but since I have to see him everyday, it kinda pisses me off. It doesn't help that he gets very uncomfortable in my presence, and the fact that he's not very subtle about it. I mean, yeah, it's only been about 25 months since I've told him and I don't care that he's not talking to me at all. But it's difficult for him to stand in line near me without getting antsy. On the rare occasion that I talked to him within the past year, he hasn't looked at me while I talked to him or if he responded. I can't look in his general direction without him becoming uncomfortable, even though I'm looking at someone else that happens to be in his direction. I'm getting sick of it and it's getting to be childish.

I'm starting to become slightly more open about being outed by Conor, although I'm not outright saying it. I've recently acknowledged many times that there have been rumors about me, although I really don't get into specifics and I don't deny or confirm the rumors. I think I just wanna tell people, but I know it's in my best interest not to. I guess I'm just trying to be subtle about it.

My school's basketball team had a 31-1 record and we went to the state championship a few weeks ago. I really had an incredible time going to each and every one of the games and I'm sure not to forget it for a long, long time. Unfortunately, we lost in the championship game, which was tough, since we went undefeated for the entire season up to that point.

So, yeah, I guess that's everything important that's been happening lately. I just wanted to check in and let everyone know that I am alive and I'm doing fairly well. College is coming up pretty soon, so that should be mighty interesting, hehe. I'm already nicknaming it my "debutante ball," lol!

Hope all of you are doing well, and hopefully I'll be coming back more often. Toodles!
