Now a special thing to the incredible people that I have met this year and three very special ones who I have known for longer but deserve a mention because of how much they’ve helped me.
Chelsea – Your so incredibly awesome, and definitely looking forward to many more enjoyable lectures in our second year @ LaTrobe. Please oh please let us be free of the evil that is John Penwill.
Sarah – Haha! Ben Tom and myself were right! You did have a connection to Bec! Even if we didn’t want to say anything in case we looked stupid. You’re a great person to hang around. Never a dull moment with Sarah.
Kat – Why did John have to destroy The Illiad? And he did it in monumental fashion… but we survived and passed. Hopefully you can survive the rest of the holidays living so far away from Bendigo (as fas I know you’re not missing much here). Keep on rocking.
Eugene – You definitely are too cool for school, but University isn’t just school so you have to keep going or so help me *shakes fist* I’ll see you next year man.
Kinsley – It sucks that John was such a jerk to you so often with some things, especially considering you had pretty damn good reasons for him. But noooo heaven forbid John be an understanding individual. Keep being awesome. See you in 07’
Laura – An individual who understands the importance of Sudoku and how it can make ANY class so much more interesting than it normally is.
Erin – We met months ago but only really started talking like… 7 days ago… I mean that’s what I call slack, haha, on my behalf of course… not yours. Well I’m sure can cram those few months into a few weeks whenever I see you on MSN next! Also you’re my favourite 1 cent txt buddy, since you were awesome enough to give me $1 credit. And also, hooray for beds and parents.
Robski – Mr. Rob, what to say. You’ve put up with a lot from me… particularly from one party and that was more than many people have put up with from me, and despite you still bringing it up constantly you’re so cool that words don’t justify it. Plus you have the coolest house I’ve seen since the Henshall’s, but its too hard to judge which wins…
Ellen – See, I was respectful enough not to put the Henshall’s as a collective noun. Instead name by name, its been great meeting you and I still envy the fact your going to Queensland for a holiday. I wish I was, well enjoy the sun and keep being awesome.
Jess – We are in agreement, Chasing Cars is not a boring song. And in the future if anyone says so… they will meet our wrath! Keep on rockin’
Paul – We ruled the backstage, I don’t care what those other backstage people say. It was all us, and maybe a bit of them, haha. We’ve consistently been the same place 3 Saturday’s in a row. Its just how great we are.
Anne – Your very cool, and thanks heaps for that ride home from The Rooms after party. Normally I’d try to avoid that sort of stuff happening but on that particular evening my luck had struck me out.
Gerogie – Despite the amount of times Jess and yourself tried me to play along with your little game where her arms would replace yours I never caved in! I’m more strong-willed than people think.
Damask – I think I’d classify our meeting as this year? Well regardless its great knowing you. You can definitely make any situation so much more entertaining than it normally is. You rock.
Sarah – I might be able to beat your record set in Revolutionary Europe. And if I do, I will expect a medal or something. Hope you enjoy your holidays away from Girton. Make the most of them!
Steve – You’re the best Beast ever… in a good way, and I was your backstage hero and it will forever be remembered on the wall of the Capital Theatre, hooray! You rock.
Chris – You beat me at Poker, I mean a lot of people do, but you BEAT me at Poker, haha. You’re my favourite Gaston, and the girls all swoon over you.
David – We would have been so lost without your Poker set. Apologies for those few times I wasn’t there to get the curtain off your Cogsworth costume. But you got supreme vengeance against Cynthia. Good work!
Bec – I have only spoken to you a couple of times, but I can already tell you’re an incredible person. Was good seeing you at Rob’s yesterday even if it was only for a short time. Keep up the good work.
THE John Gavin – You see John Gavin, so many things can be said but so little sum up the sheer levels of “fucking awesome” that you radiate. Whenever I ask myself “W.W.J.G.D” I know the answer is be smooth and sing a song. Side note: The Monotones kick ass.
And I didn’t meet the following people this year, but I write about them to thank them for everything they’ve done for me this year.
Mel – In all honesty, you are the reason I kept going this year. No one else this year has given me more strength and self-belief than you. Anytime I was down you’d pick me straight back up, dust me off and send me straight back into the fray. And it was for the best as I’ve come out of it feeling so much stronger. Thanks for always being there for me to turn to, even in my darkest hours. You are the only person who knows pretty much everything about me. We’ll be friends for the rest of our lives, this much I know already. We have been through alot and yet we still which buttons we need to push on each other to get a smile. I'll be surprised if anyone ever understands me better than you bella. Keep being the beautiful person you are already and don't ever let any jerks bring you down, because your incredible in every single way. And when we meet this year, it will be grand, love you Melzi!
Julie – Julie, well Julie…you have done a few things for me that, you probably don’t realise this yet either, helped me see the brighter side of life. That quote you said to me at Maccas weeks ago “The world is what you make of it” has stuck with me, hence it being in my MSN name. Your and amazing person and even when I came down to Melbourne with Lisa to try and cheer you up in the end the roles were reversed anyway. I felt terrible about that but thanks for somehow being able to figure me out. I hope you enjoy the DVD copy of Beauty and the beast and am terribly sorry it took so long.
Lisa – Though the random errands have been less and less over the holidays they’ve been some of the highlights of my year. Whether it was washing the car, having Fish ‘n’ Chips for lunch, watching a DVD or going out to the shops because you needed something. You have always been an awesome friend, so incredibly lucky to know you. Who knows what would have happened to me if I didn’t have you here in Bendigo to support me. My other two important people are two hours away. And the love that is there for “Livin’ on a Prayer” will always be remembered, Bon Jovi is a legend. No doubt about it. Looking forward to another year of crazy adventures in 07’ also HAHA if you get stuck with me more at LaTrobe, that would suck lol.
If your not listed here I’m sorry, I’m doing this from memory and these are the people who have had the biggest effect on me this year. Also if I’ve forgotten you then I may have been counting us as meeting last year (which I have done for a few people so stay calm, haha)
Thank you everyone. My friends = my world.
