From B R A Z I L to T O K Y O...none other than, Miss Juliana Sasaki...: sweetie, your pictures aren't up yet, and they may never be ONLY because I am lazy. BUT it is important for you and everyone else reading this to know how much I MISS YOU. It is incredibly rare to meet people that you know you can trust and let see you in vulnerable situations, but since the very beginning you've always been so straight up. thank you. living in NYC with you for those months would NOT have been the same...serendipity, i swear...HOOTERS, Burgess, roses, candles ; ), Nicole, Marta, KMart, DAPHNA!! I could go on forever!! it's crazy how we met from totally different corners of the earth (Tokyo? Ann Arbor?)-- but that means something to me and i'm so glad we've managed to keep in touch. see, at this point everyone thinks i'm gay, but i don't care...it's A GIRL THING!! APARTMENT 9P- EAST VILLAGE, NYC!! LOVE YOU..BE STRONG!!!
PACK ONE FOR ME THERE, MR. RADZINSKI...: hmm...what can i say about Jay...? to be honest, wasn't real sure about this kid when i first met him. "Typical little brat from North Farmington...great, he's Stacey's cousin..?" I swear Jay, it'll get better. BUT anyway- this guy ends up living on our couch two semesters ago. One day he gets up and leaves and I'm like "Hmmph...where is that guy?" He always manages to be around for the good parts, and always down to just chill, watch some digi-cab, eat some carry-out for like...HOURS. i tell him he's a bad influence, but that's just JAY...and he's the best that way! most of all, he's pretty straightforward (sometimes too much) and blunt about things, which everyone could use now and then...
"Are You Still Down?..."
