ah. I love this tree. It makes me happy. I also love how they have Santa to take pictures with when you visit...for free!
::edit:: new year's was amazing. SO much fun! so far the year has been at extremes. either extremely fun or extremely bad. that's ok though. i'm for anything that's not boring! 
So I know those people-list-thingies are very unoriginal and all that, but I really feel like doing one. I know they are so old and cliche, but I told myself I wouldn't do those kinds of things just because everyone else was, but now I just feel like doing one. That made no sense. Whatever, here I go:
*Random order, Random people*
I) I don't think you know this, but I really look up to you. I would give anything to achieve all of those amazing things you have, and really respect the fact that you take pride in who you are. There are so many things I admire in you, and I'm sorry that I don't show it all the time. You are probably the one person I can trust with my life.
II) You are one of my favorite people. I havn't really known you that long, but you always make me laugh. You are one of those people I can brag to other people about knowing. haha.
III) I want to meet you.
IV) What is your problem? You need therapy. Learn to treat people how they deserve to be treated.
V) I am so nervous when I'm around you, but I'm getting better at it as the years have gone by. You have always been the popular one. I remember the day I met you...you were so YOU, and that amazed me. I'm sorry for the times I ignore you. You make me laugh.
VI) You never cease to amaze me. While most people think you are annoying, I think they are shallow. There are so many things to admire in you. Your perciverence alone is astounding. I do not think I will ever be as mentally strong as you. I would do anything to see you happy.
VII) You are such a hypocrite, but whenever we talk in person we forget all of our grudges and are friends. I don't understand it, but I'm not going to argue about it because you are extremely fun to hang out with and are so goofy.
VIII) I could marry you. You understand me like no one else. I am 100% myself around you, and you never critisize me for it. I can roll out of bed, look like crap, and not be afraid to hang out with you. (so the song on the radio reminds me of you- vanessa carleton...hahah) You make me want to be the best I can be. You boost my self confidence with ease, in a way no one else is able to. You are always right.
IX) You're funny, but I've never felt comfortable around you.
X) Everyone loves you. I don't know how to describe it. You are such a genuine person, and I am so glad I passed you that note last year. haha.
XI) I think you are the most sincere person I have ever met.
XII) You are something else. We were SO close...such good friends. I admire your ability to be true to yourself. You showed me so much. You taught me so much. I can't even describe how close we were. I still love you so much like a sister.
XIII) We are exactly alike, and I think that's why we fight so much. I'm sorry...for everything.
XIV) I don't think you will even read this, maybe you will, who knows? But..the truth is, i think you are the most amazing person in the world. You want the best for me, and I don't know why I'm so mean to you. I think you are such a special person, and I think it is amazing that you get whatever you really want. God chose the right person to give everything to. I'm sorry I'm not your perfect daughter. I think you are the only person I have ever met who sincerely wants the best for your kids before yourself. I have never met anyone else as amazing as you, and I don't think I ever will. I would not be who I am today without you. You are my friend. I love you.
XV) I miss you. Not in the way you think, but I miss how you used to be. I miss those times. I miss our old selves.
XVI) I think you need to let go of the past. That was then...it's not the same, and it's never going to be. Just let it go and move on. Stop. Just Stop. That's all I have to say.
XVII) You are an asshole and everyone knows it. Don't get me wrong, you have many good qualities, but the more prominent ones- lying esp. is getting really old. I'm sick of it. I hate being mistreated. Oh, and your ego is astounding. I think you owe me many apologies.
XVIII) I think you are gorgeous, and so does the rest of the world, but sometimes that's just not good enough. I wonder who you would be if you wern't so pretty. You have a great personality, but I wish we could be friends for more than a week. I really admire your common sense. You are pretty blunt, and that is so refreshing to me. It's time somebody quit dodging the truth. You make me laugh, but I always feel inferior to you.
XIX) I don't want to like you, as a friend, but I do. You can be so nice..esp some times. But others you are such...a dick.
XX) Sometimes we have so much fun hanging out, sometimes we don't. I don't understand our friendship, but that's ok. We were really close in 7th grade. I really like the way you don't care what people think of you, and you don't feel like you have to dress up for school. I think you're really cool, but we're just not that great of friends anymore. There are times we have lots of fun though, usually laughing at other people. haha.
XXI) We were such amazing friends in 8th grade. You are one of those people that I would give anything to see happy. You are such a caring person, and I adore your family. Oh, and I have always been jealous of your perfect handwriting. haha!
XXII) We go back. I think that you have changed me so much. It's nice to have you as a friend, but sometimes I worry about you. I wish you would try harder, and stop with the crap once and for all. I never see you at school.
XXIII) You are not the little boy I used to think of you as! You have grown up so much these past few years. We have had so many insiders, and I think you are amazing. I love you like a brother. You make me laugh...I wish you would stop ruining your life, and try harder in school. You are capable of so much, if only you gave a little effort. We got so close last year, it was fun. I'm glad I'll see you more this semester.
XXIV) You used to be my little bro. There was nothing I couldn't talk to you about. We were so close. What happened? Actually let's not answer that question. I wish we could forget the past and just be friends again. I just want to let you know that I still think about you all the time, and hope you are doing great.
XXV) I think people are totally unfair to you. They play dirty. I really like you, and I'm on your side..if there's one. I think you are gorgeous.
XXVI) I can never predict what you are thinking. I think you are such a strong individual, and I admire how you don't need the world to love you to be happy. You are amazing in everything you do, it's bewildering. I love your morals, high standards, and bluntness. I think you are so pretty.
XXVII) You are my aim/xanga/facebook friend...and I really wish we talked more in person. You are such a cool kid. You always have something funny to say!
XXVIII) You are Hilarious. I'm sad we really don't even talk anymore. I rarely see you, but when I do, it's like no time has passed since we last saw eachother. It's amazing how you can make everyone in the room confortable around you. Even if you have never met them before. I really miss seeing you every day!
XXIX) I'm so glad that we can randomly call eachother when we have family problems. I used to think you hated me. I wish we were coser.
XXX) I'm sorry I call you mean names, but it's just too funny to pass up. I think it's amazing how you are so dedicated. You are just you. and I Love you for it. I really, really am amazed at how quickly you fit in after coming to a new country. WOW.
XXXI) I think you are incredibly fake, only care about the opposite sex, and seroiusly underappreciate me.
XXXII) If you tried- if you cared- you would be even more amazing. Stop saying you can't. Belive in yourself like I believe in you.
XXXIII) We had a really bad beginning, but now, after knowing more, and after your apology I really respect you. Not many people can do that. The more I know about you, the more I like you. I'm sorry I assumed.
XXXIV) My god, I miss you. Like crazy. We were SO close. You are the one friend i really want back. There's not much to say, except I think you are making a mistake. I really miss you. You cared like no one else.
XXXV) What a jerk. Why didn't I see it. The sad part is, you still make me smile, and I still like you.
XXXVI) I'm going to have to lie to you when you ask me who this is about, but I think you seriously play/lead on "the opposite sex" like no other, and need to stop.
XXXVII) You understand the one part of my life that I cannot explain to anyone else. And the funny thing is that you came to me about it. It's a serious breath of fresh air to talk to you. You are so funny. I love how you are not afraid to say what you think. I'm so glad that you aren't fake and aren't afraid of what people will think if you say you don't like someone.
XXXVIII) You do it all. Everything. I. AM. AMAZED. How are you so nice to everyone?
XXXIX) We got so cose last year. We had so much in common. I miss you like crazy. I really want to see you more next year. Please??
XL) I wish you were in my grade. I would have an ally.
XLI) I think you are so fun. There is nothing I don't like about you. Summer of 8th grade was insanely fun with you. Shania Twain concerts..ect. (this is obvoius..haha) Oh wait, I can think of something I don't like. You ALWAYS look cute. Make the rest of us look bad! haha. nah it's not something i dont like. You know I'm kidding!
XLII) You amaze me. I do not know one person who doesn't love you. I don't know how you do it, but I admire you so much! You are such a fun person. I love that you don't care how you dress and such. Everytime we have hung out I have had fun. We go way back but have never been THAT close, and that makes me sad. I wish I saw you more.
XLIII) You are a nice girl. I've known you for a few years, but never KNOWN you. You can be pretty mean sometimes.
XLIV) Wow, I can relate to you SO much. It's insane how close we became in 2 years! The time apart felt liek nothing when we were reunited. We have so many good memories. You are one of my favorite people- ever.
XLV) I think you are so funny/fun/cool/ect. I don't know you that well, but what I do know of you I like. I'm sorry for everything you are going through right now.
XLVI) I liked you so much at the beginning of the year, but it's steadily decreasing. There are some qualities in you that I really...just don't like. It's not cool to get people on your side. It's not cool to give up everything..over something. Yet, you never cease to make me laugh. I don't know what to think of you.
XLVII) You are so funny. and smart. and your random phone calls make me smile!
XLVIII) You need to stop doubting yourself. You are just as good as everyone else. A serious increase in confidence is needed. You are just as pretty as everyone else, and are smarter than most. Don't risk everything for something not worth it. Focus on the goal.
XLIX) You are my brother; I've known you SO long. our families are good friends and I'm glad we are getting to be better friends. You are HILARIOUS.
L) I don't even know where to start with you. You are my best friend in the universe. II love you like family and I am almost always jealous of you, but in a good way. You have changed me and my life like no one else has. Thank you so much.
LI) We are so alike. We laugh at the same things, and we think alike. I think you are so smart. I have always liked you. Anyone who doesn't is just jealous. You make fun of me a lot, but it's all good. you're a cool kid.
LII) I have felt comfortable around you from the start, and i don't know if that is a good thing or not. I am myself around you, and I am so weird! You were always the one i wanted to be friends with and the one i liked from the begenning. I can never tell what your opinion of me is though, and that sort of scares me.
LIII) You are one of those people who im PROUD to be friends with...haha yeah thats right, proud! You are like my older sibling, and it makes me happy that you look out for me. I'm glad we are still friends.
so..guess which one you are! Or guess who everyone else is! haha- it's a lot to choose from, but I will bet you if you guessed on all of them...you would get..maybe...at the most 5 right. but who knows, maybe you do know. maybe i'm not as mysterious as I thought!
anyway. have an amazing New Years...I CAN'T WAIT. I love new years. so much. and IT IS A HOLIDAY! right? and i'm hanging out with this cool girl tonight..
*stole pic from lacy...oh it brings back good memories!*
Sincerely,
Tara
