Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I'm a little down. Next semester, I'm transferring to another college. After three years of studying, I'll be leaving the (admittedly small) college I had gotten used to, and going to a (much bigger) campus that's about an hour and a half away.

It's for my own good: I want to study journalism, and my current college has nothing for that. How can I get a job at a newspaper...if I don't have the required education? On the other hand....I just got used to being in my old college. I've got a cadre of friends there, of people I can hang out with.


I'd be leaving the two nerds I hang out with in the morning, one who has never been dull, and another who is just a big a nerd as I am, and who even cried when I joked I was leaving.

I'd be leaving another nerd, who is a furry-enthusiast, who I never cease to enjoy messing with (even though his poor tastes in anime never ceases to twist my guts in a knot. I mean, how can he prefer Blue Dragon to YuYu Hakusho?!).

I'd be leaving the guy who stood by me since High School, who was pretty much my first friend, and who always has a smile on his face.

I'd be leaving his friend, the stocky nerd who, while I admit, I only put up with him for being a friend of a friend, is still a fun person to hang with.

I'd be leaving another wicked-fun guy who is always around to joke. This guy and I really do understand each other...sorta...we have, at least, seen the same shows, and I shared some H-vids with him. We get along pretty well.

I'd be leaving the only guy who has the balls to stand up and debate with me. Where others sit and stay quiet, he stands up and debates with me, and boy, do we fight hard. Just that is enough to make an impact on me.

I'd be leaving a girl who, while I don't understand how we're friends, still makes me consider her a friend...and yet is completely ignorant of what's really going on (no, I don't have a crush on her, you dirty-minded fools, and if you bring that up I'll flood your inbox with vore).

Worst, I'll be leaving her boyfriend, and my half-brother. He's come to me in the worst of times, and I've gone to him in the worst of times. He trusts me to heck and back. He's got some of the worst luck I've ever seen, but he's so freaking flippant and irreverent it doesn't even faze him. I worry about him, though, and let's face it--without him, my life would be a lot more boring. That, and it's the only time I can scratch my itch of giving advice. It's practically a fetish for me, metaphorically.

Dammit, I'm gonna miss 'em all. I just get in their way and bad-mouth whatever anime they download, but they're still my friends, and they have the patience to put up with me. That's something. It's because of that that I want to go crazy at my next college. I'm not going to make the mistake of thinking that people don't care, I'm going to freaking go apeshit. I'm going to call attention to myself. I'm going to talk to whoever is next to me until s/he talks back or punches me in the face, whichever comes first. I'm going to make groping women's chests a habit. I'm going to make a fool of myself whenever possible...and make sure people remember me.



Dammit, I've wasted too much time.
