The Journey Is More Important Than The Beginning Or The End.

The Goodbye Party
Listening to: The Unwritten Law CD

Ok let's try this again. The first attempt to post about it was screwed over by XP.

Last night, I had a huge party. Recently, I have had this ability to throw together a succesful party at the last minute. It was not just a good party, it was one of my best yet. I had the party because I am moving and I haven't had much time to hang out with all of my friends. So it was a good bye party. The stats of the party were:
About 60 different people showed up through out the night.
About 40 all in my house at one time.
We ordered like 12 pizzas
$20 in 2 liters of pop
Bondfire
Guitar and Singing

It was great. So many people I haven't hung out with in forever showed up. I even had people I didn't know there. Friends who brought friends who brought their friends. I ran around in my blue jeans, white button up and brown cowboy hat acting as hyper as everyone else was.

Brad and Amanda parked their cars and turned their neons on (blue and pink neons, respectivly). We then played club music and Josh and I got in front of everyone and danced through half the CD.

I also played guitar and sang, as did Justin, Dan, Dave, Mario, Joe. We all just sat around playing and singing. I learned a few new songs as well.

Joe had plans with Kelley and her friend last night. They knew I was having this party, but Joe forgot it was last night. So when he broke off plans with her she went on a rampage. She got all pissy and Joe told her it was his last night to be able to hang out with me like this for a long time and she got pissed and hung up on him. So he called her back and she said "I don't want you there, because those girls will be there." He got pissed and told her they were hear to see me and say goodbye, not to try and take him away from her (not like they ever try to anyways... they are just FRIENDS). She hung up and sent him a text message saying "I am sick of you walking all over me." I about lost it right there. God I hate that woman. She is going to get my say before I leave Monday. I DON'T care what it is she does to piss me off, but I will say something to her. But in the better note, Joe blew her off to hang out with me! ROCK ON BRO! Don't let her walk all over you. You don't always need to be with her. Priorities and time come first.

There were more girls there then guys I think. Which in a way doesn't suprise me. A lot of girls came to give their goodbye hugs and the guys came to give me crap as usual, lol. We are a weird group of friends, but anyone who hangs out with us, grows to like our style.

It was a succesful turn out though. No alchohol or drugs (rest assured Molly) and we all had a great time. I wish Ryan and Brian would've shown up.

Danielle came out after work and I brought her to the top of the tower. We saw the coolest crescent blood moon, draped with grey clouds. Saw a few shooting stars and in the towns around us, bondfires could be seen being lit up. Which was weird because I saw one, then another on the other side and made a comment about it being like Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. Within the following 10 minutes, 6 more lit up in the surrounding towns. *lol* I was like "QUick, Muskegon calls for our aide!" where David followed up with "There is no helping them..."

God I am gonna miss my friends. A few said when I move it's like our group is going to collapse because I was one of the main supports bringing us all together. My house always being open to everyone, and me always being there when they are in a pinch, financially or emotionally. This made me smile, knowing I was an important part in our clique.

Tonight will be my last sleep in this house. Tomorrow I am staying at Ryan's and playing Final Fantasy XI with him all night. Then the following morning, I am packing up and moving out. Where has time gone?

Dave and I were talking on our way home from Rothbury this morning. He brought up how much we have both changed in the last 6-7 years. He said:

"This is going to sound gay but, you were always like the Knight in Shining Armor/hero who everyone looked up to. You always did what needed to be done, and what was right. Now your more like the adventuring hero, instead of the gallant one. You're not so conservative and your more open minded. Me, I used to be very cynical and negative towards most of the world. Now I am just living and enjoying life as it comes at me. I wonder what brought this change to us?"

It made me think. How many more times are we going to change. Will we loose friends over these changes, or will we loose ourselves or self worth? Dave was right though. Now that I look back on it, we are completly different then what we were when we started forming our clique. All of us.
