Yup, leave tomorrow mornin for one heck of a weekend. Still a little irked by missing coffeehouse, but I'm told it won't even cross my mind once I get there. Certainly hope so. On a related note, I'm fighting tooth and nail to attend the next one. Trust me, if I'm not there, it will be because they drugged me or hit me with a hard object.
My only other real regret about this Encounter (and yeah, its a petty and stupid one) is that some of my best friends will not be there with me. Its selfish of me, but if this truely is such an awesome experience, I want those close to me to be there too. (nevermind that some of them have already gone...why can't they go again? ^^) I'm sure it won't be a big deal once I get there, but in the here and now, it is slightly saddening. All the more reason to share the love when I return, I suppose.
I would like to thank you, my friends, for being my friends. To quote some emo, "you're one of the many things that help me face the day, I'm so glad you're here with me..." You guys (and gals) know who you are, I cannot thank you enough for your time and support, your smiles and encouragement, the fun and the memories. I honestally cannot imagine coming to love some of you more than I already do, though I'll certainly try over the next few days. Please know that I only want the best for all of you, I may seem hypocritical or ungreatful at times, but I really mean it when I say you fellas are the world to me. Greatest fear about college? The possibility of loosing the best friends I've ever had, the people who know me as well (in some cases, better) than I know myself. Come what may, I shall always be greatful for the kindness and love you have shown me. Thank you.
Songs/bands du jour (to cover for the full weekend):
Anywhere, My Friend, Breathe No More, Forgive Me - Evanescence
Nothing Short of a Miracle - The Starting Line
Letters to You - Finch
Sad Eyes - Third Try
Konstantine - Something Corporate
(to those who know those songs and their meanings to me, they're pretty accurate descriptions of the swirling emotions I feel right now. If nothing else, the Encounter has already given me a rush ^^)
