If you're reading this, chances are that I miss you. I've been missing a lot of people lately. I don't know what it is - maybe it was having Aaron down here for a week? Usually when I see my people, it's up where they are in PA or CT. Having him down was something totally different. He was in *my* space, something that hasn't happened since... I don't know. A very very long time.
I opened a box tonight. It's a box that I've been keeping select things in ever since I moved. it has letters from people (mostly Spencer and Arin) and little things that I slipped in over the past 3 years. It's hard to believe it's been three whole years. I hadn't opened the box before, I would just put something in it, and then put it back in the closet. I decided that I needed to look at it today, out of boredom or loneliness or missing-ness... I don't know. I opened it, and the first thing that I noticed was a little rubber duck in a graduation cap from Spencer's graduation last June, and a receipt for and Arizona Green Tea and an Arnold Palmer from last august, when Aaron and I went to Stop and Shop when we were practically dehydrated. It's amazing how many memories this brings back. I have cards from Arin and Spencer, ticket stubs, and a few programs. Also - a card from when I did Annie. On the front it has lines from the play, and inside it says "Sarah, your voice is so pretty! I want to be like you when I grow up! Love, Grace."
I miss my 'family' up north. I get rather jealous of Spencer who is going to college 45 minutes away from his home. He can go home on the weekends and watch the productions his friends are in, and he has a (fairly) healthy mix of college friends and old friends. I don't like that so much of my life is cyber-linked, but I can't help it. I don't want to lose the good friends I do have, and to do so I have to keep things up-to-date online. When Aaron was here, I spent hardly any time on the computer, which I loved. However, after he left, I returned to my internet crutch, and and now on constantly, 24/7.
Soooo yeah. I miss peoples. I want to be able to be there for people when they're in shows, or take my friends out for ice cream after a test gone bad. For now I have to make do with a smiley face or a 'missing you!' on a status update.
I can't wait to move back home.

:( I miss you too.
PS. You left that arizona tea can in my room; If I'd known you were keeping the receipt, I wouldn't have thrown it out so lightly. ;) <3
