> My brother is at college now. I miss him. He was honestly my best friend, and we've gotten e-mails from him and stuff, but I still miss him.

I know what that feels like, its like when a best friend moves away, but you'll most definatly see him again, don't fret.

> At this time next year, I'll be at college. With any luck, at the same one as my brother, I adore the place. I'm afraid I won't get in though.

It's natural to be afraid, just don't stress and study hard you'll get in.

> When I go, you people are the only ones who will remain constant in my life. Isn't that odd? Everything else will change, and I'll even know my brother in a different context, but you will all be still here on the Rinkworks pages.

Thats good, though it is odd, and I'm glad we'll be here.

> Rinkworks is hard to explain, so I don't. Most of my friends don't know about my addiction here. Isn't that weird? I just never talk about it.

Right. You can never know what this place is like until you've actually been here.

> I'm taking Photography. There are some pictures I've wanted to take for 2 years with black and white film, and now i get to. I'm excited.

I love photography, I'd really like to make a short film, but I need a video camera.

> I should have gotten a purple squishy cow when I was at Williams. It would make life that much better.

I'm not sure what your talking about, but I think its a stress ball.

> Crying is a healthy thing. You start gulping for air and you look icky, but you feel better afterwards, really. Try it sometime.

It really is, its especially cool if its the laugh-till-you-cry cry.

> I'm really quite pretty. It's sort of a random thing to notice, and it's random that I'm only realizing that now, but I am.

You're beautiful.

> I can't wait to get my braces off. I've had them for 5 years and i hate them but my teeth are almost straight and I'll get them off in just a couple months. So I'm excited.

Cool, I hate braces to.

> There might be something very wrong with me. Every now and then, I get this weird pressure in the right side of my chest and it gets all tingly and sometimes it spreads down my arm and it's really weird. So I finally remembered to tell my parents (because it happened when they were around) and now I'm going to the doctor's on Monday and I'll probably get sent for special tests. It's kinda scary.

I really don't know what to say here.

> I'm in an ultra-spiffy Shakespeare class. It rocks. The second meeting is tomorrow, and I'm sooo psyched.

Shakespeare is awesome. I have a yale book on him.
> Guys make no sense. But I've said that before.

heh...
