I guess it's time for my seniors post. Here's my list of my best buds:
Ben Li: I met you because I saw your GIANTS v ANGELS hat and envied you. We talked on the way to Center Meet Three that day and we had an interesting conversation. I can't remember what it was, but I'm sure glad it happened. Thanks for being so easy to talk to and for being a really cool person.
Mike Siu: What can I NOT say about Cum Shirt? Perhaps one of my favorite seniors, you always had a good comeback to whatever shit I had to say. It's too bad you couldn't stay on XC, but your heart lied elsewhere, especially with Soe. You guys are perfect for eachother. I really want to say thank you for being the best role model, yes I said 'role model', I could ever ask for. And thanks for letting me stay at yours and Alex's place next year.
Johnny Yu: Speaking of role models, Johnny, you were my biggest influence when it came to running. I was like a silent Yulong in my worshipping of your 'Just Run' motto. And boy are those words to live by. I have since applied it to all my work and play. I guess I just want to say thank you for that, and for being good conversation on the long runs. 1600m showdown next year, buddy.
Jimmy Yu: Can't say anything about Johnny without saying anything about Jimmy. Twins man, that's awesome. I still remember when I first met you in Ms. Chins class. I turned around to you and told you "You know, you look a lot like a friend of mine, do you know him?' and you said 'I'm his TWIN!' HAHAHA. She always called Johnny by your name. Since then it's been nothing but fun with you Jimmy. Thanks for being my Chinese, Track, and all around buddy. Oh and you're Burmese that's awesome.
Hilary Yip: My second girlfriend, you helped hone my boyfriend techniques. You are definately one cool gal. Nobody could take on as much as you do, and whats more, you do it with wit and grace. Always there for a hug or a hi, you cannot be replaced by anybody. Find yourself a nice big white boy in college and wrestle him down to the ground.
Peter Pan: I still love the name. I wish I had taken your picture like we planned, but that might have been a bit hard on us. You were always there to be funny. When I tell people that, they're like 'What? Peter? Funny? I thought he was just quiet...'. But I had the opportunity to get to know you and your endless soundeffects. TIEUTIEU! KAPSHHH! Don't ever grow up, Peter Pan, cos you can fly.
Justin Chin: Justin, buddy old pal. Great times. Like you and Michelle, kinda. Thanks for confiding in me; it made me feel special. Always there to run with me, especially this year. LA trips and state. Fun fun fun, buddy. Stay the way you are.
Chris Spencer: The only other white guy on XC. Such a good buddy. Definately the coolest senior this year. You were always doing your own thing with your fuzzy pants (which you still need to get me a pair of) and your third place finish in nationals for xc mountain biking. I still remember the time where we got caught sneaking out with the Lincoln girls at State Meet. YOU RAN AWAY FROM ANDY! You're eyes were lit with mischief. Do me a favor and invite me to a party or two when you're in college.
Dana Wu: SECRET HANDSHAKE
Jonas Chin: Just...so...COOL. Thanks for treating me like an adult. I really needed it.
Alex Ching: One of my best friends. You always knew what to say or not to say. You've been through some tough times but hopefully those times are over. Especially with Daisy and Mike and myself by your side. Always fun getting taptap with you, and hanging out at your house with the guys. What can I say man? I love you.
I'm going to miss you guys, whether you care or not. I've had the honor of knowing you guys for 3 years, and man I wish you didn't have to go yet. I realize, though, that everything must change eventually, and that you guys cannot always stay with me. So I say, to the class of oh five, my favorite class besides my own, good luck.
