Well, I'm not that sociable. Let me tell you a story that has affected me up to right now. When I was 12, I met a kid named Tyler Kelly. He was very nice. We did everything together; we went fishing on the canal in my back yard, we went on my boat. And then when I was about 14, his old best friend Max came to our neighborhood. Which was great. We were the best of friends. Then highschool came which changed everything. Tyler and Max signed up for the Stage Craft, and I signed up for a computer graphics class.

   Well as the first year of highschool went by, Max and Tyler stopped hanging out with me. Why? Why did my two best friends in the whole wide world suddnley abandon me? The met a person with a turck. his name was David, (Not David Sherman; he's ultra cool:) ) And by the time our second year of highschool started, they did not even come by my house. They stopped returning my calls and left me. Well, during  the second year of highschool, I became depressed. I was so depressed that mom thought about taking me to a shrink because I would stay in my room all day and not call any of my other friends. 

   But now things are diffrent, I still am a little shy and a little less social (Ever have that kid in the classroom who is nice and very smart but does not talk to many kids? That's me.)   Tyler and Max are still friends but they are in a lot of trouble at school. Tyler came to class drunk, Max skips his classes and might not graduate. Max and Tyler are going to graduate in the fall. I graduate Friday!!!!!! I'm getting over it day by day, thank god.

   One thing I learned about this whole experience: If your friends abandon you, make new ones. I still feel hurt but it gets softer every day. Sometimes late at night I wonder why I hung out with those loosers. Why? Why, because I wanted to be accepted in to a nice group of friends. Don't worry I have friends. But it still hurts me about what they did. Why do people do this? I just want to know the answer. And you guys are my best friends. You are always there when I need you, you give me advice. Hell, Eric you even helped me bring down an illegal web site;) And I am about to take down lime wire. Thanks guys for being my friends.

Now if you gentlemen willl excuse me I have to study for  my final exams. Exams are this week, wish me luck;)
