                        Seven years?

•              4: Were you a part of any “clique” in high school?

               Marching band. XD

•              10: Do you like the way that you grew up?

               In terms of how I was raised? Yeah. Some things Iwouldn’t have done, sure, but as a whole yeah.

•              13: Name one movie that made you cry.

               Inside Out. I was close. So close.

•              15: Things about someone that you find attractive?

               I could go on and on, but music. I love it when people(in my case girls in terms of romantic interest) have dark hair and blue eyes.Blue eyes are a recessive trait while dark hair is a dominant trait. I thinkthat’s cool. Tolerates me and how much I screw around with just about everyoneand everything. That’s always good.

•              18: A random memory from your childhood:

               It’s a severe thunderstorm watch. 

•              31: Why did one of your friendships end?

               One day she said some words to me and I said some wordsto her and we didn’t know it then but they would be the last words we wouldever say to each other. It just faded I guess. We’re strangers again.

•              32: Who do you miss right now?

               My guard girls. It’s the offseason so I only see themwhen we have summer practices and for parties every once in a while.

•              36: What is your favorite restaurant?

               I don’t have one. I don’t like food.

•              41: When was the last time you got really really happyand why?

               The day this previous school year when I realized thatI would never have to attend my English class ever again. I have never hated aclass so much in my life.

•              48: When was the last time you laughed so hard yourstomach hurt?

               I….I actually don’t remember.

In marching band we gutted one of those dog squeaky toys and put thesqueaker thing in the third valve of our horns (trumpets). When we came to thepassionate, dramatic part of the song, we pushed the third valve down and letthat sucker wail. The flutes and clarinets still don’t know what happened.

Mkay. Well, whenever you’re ready, you do that. 

I know that half. Who is the other?

Mkay. And as always, life is easier for everyone when we know who we’re dealing with. 

Sounds like you’re hurting for someone. If you need someone to talk to I’ll talk to you, okay? No one suffers alone. 

“Then they pop back into your world and something they do makes it so clear to you.”

Clear that you’re happier without them or with them?

Please stop using Google translate, my friend. It’s sloppy. Just speak English. It makes life easier for those of us who..you know...speak English. :)

Ich verstehe nicht. Erklaeren Sie bitte?

Was meinst du? Und warum so formal?
