i salute you.

i've written a couple of these, but of course, knowing me, what i want to say to you is constantly changing...
unlike these people. you, probably the only ones who even read this silly blog, are the people in my life who have molded me more than anyone else i can think of. you deserve more, but for now a heart-felt shout out is all i can afford. [yeah, i kinda stole this from h-baby.]

Heather Renee: my gurrrrl. [codavia!] we've been besties since 8th grade, and phew... this girl is amaing. she's got the most perfect timing of anyone i know, she's beautiful beautiful, and she's the most dedicated girl i know. once you're in her band of brothers, as i am lucky enough to be, you're golden for life.

Benjamin Andrew Maerker: my person. if i were to get engaged, win the lottery, get preggo, or even just need to talk, he is the person i'd go to. just seeing him puts a huge smile on my face. he's like my walking livejournal... we read each other's 'black books', were show biz dance partners, and he's always ready and willing to bring along his kimberly when i need a double date. i love ya, man.

Ms. Abel: my coach [both in acadec and in life]. if it wasn't for her, i wouldn't even be writing this right now. [i'm kinda on her computer...] my sanity, and the big sister i always wanted. the only one brave enough to throw some cold water in my face when i need it. she's seriously the coolest 20-something year old i know. she's got some major karma racked up from putting up with me through almost three years of acadec. loves from your mei-mei.

Alex Dax Brown: my inspiration. one of the most artistic, romantic guys i know. i seriously think we have mirror image souls. he sees my complexities and doesn't shirk away. alex is someone i can show my deepest, darkest sides to and i know he'll still understand and love me. =]

Rachelle Brewer: my best friend! aw, my sweet girl... rachelle is a doll and a half. yes, she's forever away at college, but she's still probably going to be in my wedding line. [ha!] the only girl i'd ever take to 'make cookies for the elderly'. i love you, even if i sometimes forget to call you back.

Blake Anderson: my frat boy. blake is the jerkiest, meanest high school boy i know. but it's all a facade... he knows exactly when to stop being a jerk and start being a sweetie and wipe my tears away.
i mean, uh, blake's a jerk. and he makes me cry at night. [he'll punch me if i say anything else.]

Haylee Marie: my on again, off again notebook buddy. we've had a lot of ins and outs since eighth grade, lots of boys and lots of love. but she makes me a little cooler, and we have the same middle name. that's pretty awesome.

Tucker Bingham: my high school sweetheart. i've said it before, but he's the only person i know who could've dragged me kicking and screaming into being a grown up. i adore him with my whole heart [most of the time.] he's gone away, but after the last two and a half years, and especially the last summer, he's become my best friend, and i'll always have a piece of him with me.
also, that was too sappy, so he's pretty much a bad-A math tutor and fellow actor.

Karadoll Hancock: my favorite ginger. aw, that girl... she's beautiful, she's strong, and she's so dang awesome. she reminds me of sunshine; i can't look at her and not get smiley. she's an absoute doll, and she loves me more than i could ever deserve. =]

if i let you out, let me know and i'll write you something heartfelt as well.
