A/N: Set the end of February.
Journal,
I just got off the phone with Quinn. I can't believe she's going to be graduating this year. It's almost a little weird, how vividly I remember moving to Lawndale, and how she instantly adapted to the new setting. Because she was "cool" and had a "cute name". How she refused to be seen with me at school, and how I was her "cousin" or her "exchange student" or her "maid". But she grew up. Quinn became so much over the course of those years, and, just as I did, she matured and learned. She's not so bad.
Oh, and Jane has a date. Well, she went ON a date. With this boy, Chris. He's the artsy type, really nice from what I've heard of him. They got pizza and talked, and she said he's really interesting and smart. Of course I'm going to have to meet him, just to see what he'll be like when I make him cheat on Jane with me.
Ha ha. I'm so funny.
I was thinking (as I obviously have been doing a lot of lately) of kissing, not with anyone in particular. Just kissing, and I thought of how much I like it. Kissing is nice. Really. It's even nicer when it's not only physical, but has an emotional aspect, even though that part of it can kinda screw you up in certain situations. I haven't kissed many boys in my life, but each of them have been worth it. Just because you no longer feel romantic towards a person doesn't mean they aren't worth it anymore. The media has this obsession with romantic love, all the time, all day, every day. Though I think it's a wonderful thing, I also like the other types of it.
I don't know if I exactly loved Tom romantically. I did feel romantic towards him, and he definitely shaped me and helped me through my last year of high school. But love? Maybe. I don't know. Tom was an important person in my life. He still is. Though I have no desire to continue anything romantic with him, I enjoyed our time together very much, and I thank him.
I also thank Trent, for his friendship over the years, and I look forward to see what will happen between us in the years to come, be it romantic or not. To say I'm not anxious about it would be a lie, but our friendship seems to grow with every phone conversation, and right now, I think that's okay.
So. Those are just my thoughts for the night.

A/N: Aaah, sorry tonight's chapter was so long and rambly. I too had a lot on my mind, and writing has always been my comfort. Thank you for the lovely reviews.
