My closest friends are my heroes! Your friends dictate a large part of the person that you are and I owe my closest friends more than they could understand, they've always been there when i needed them, be it for just chilling and having fun or when I was sad or our sunday night bowling sessions!!
Firstly, Lucas and Stuart! I still remember in yr 1 when my best friend left, i was sitting alone and you came and asked me if i wanted to be friends.. We've been the best of friends ever since and had more great times than i will ever be able to recall.
Lucas, i remember countless times we stayed at your place, having waterbomb fights or playing playstation or whatever.. your houses have always been the "home base" for most of our adventures. Screwing around marathon stadium or whatever.. i also have to admire your passion for cars. I'd kill to see the beast you'd build if you won the lotto. You may be a very craft player of women at times, i dunno how you do it, you just have a way with women, but i admire your honesty and dedication to a relationship if you're willing to be in it. you're also always fun to be around.
Stuart! gotta admire your mellow attitude towards life. You never get angry or sad. you just plow through life as though you dont care, and yet you do, i wish i could do that. i remember playing basketball in your driveway back in the coronation days.. you were quite the fan lol. i loved our domination of mrs hoffmans english class in yr 10! you me and macca would hijack the lesson every day! lol Your similar music taste also makes for conveniant cd burning. You're the kinda guy who's attitude and work ethic in life will get you a long way.. i always said from day 1 that you were destinied to be a millionaire.. due to your knowledge of how finance works and your passion for wealth!
Dave! skating back the day.. going to charlie and terrorizing the place.. i didnt care that you were shit, it was always fun watching you eat shit! lol playing wrestling was fun back in the day although you always beat me.. jumping on the mats in A6 was the shit.. right up until i swanton bombed my own knee into my eye lol. You're a vey honest and upfront man who is always there when i need a shoulder. you have a passion for life and will always try anything once and i admire the way you can just shrug off all the shit in your life and move on. You've got your life sorted and because of that you'll always be happy.. and i hope you always are.
Rommie! A man who cant be discribed in words. THE MOST caring guy around, he has no prejudice, he doesnt judge anybody. he doesnt discriminate, he's just a friend to whoever he can be. His love for soccer is unparalleled as is his knowledge of the sport! And yes i must say that you will one day make a very lucky girl a real princess!.. although you're likely to turn up late for your wedding! lol. I like the way you dont give up on anything in life and the way you are so humble and grateful for everything you are given.
Kyle has to be my closest friend, both in proximity and in my daily life. He lives just around the corner and although i've only known you since the start of yr 11 you're still an old mate. He got me into bodyboarding and i'm quite grateful for that. coz i love bodyboarding. we go out often for a surf now. Kyle is possibly the funniest kid ever. He always comes out with the best one liners to crack me up. Life has also dealt him a bit of a bum hand and yet he NEVER complains. He cops everything on the chin and smiles while he's at it. One of the toughest people around. He's selfless and kind and always knows how to cheer me up. He's the kinda guy that you could see marrying a supermodel.. just coz he has that aura about him lol.
And I could never forget eRin.. She may not be mine anymore but she's still as good a friend to me as anyone. We've had more good times together than I'll ever remember and she's honestly one of the greatest people I've ever been lucky enough to meet. Always will give 110% to make everyone else around her happy and still manages to maintain her smile 24/7. Is very cluey and knows what she wants to get out of life. Makes good choices in the people she assosiates with (especially boys) and is always smart enough to know when to cut her losses. Always knows just what to say to brighten my day. (Andy B is very lucky to have her)
Also my brother sam, he's better than me at everything he tries. He may not be the smartest kid around but he still says clever things that amaze me. He's got wit and charisma.. he's also a damn good kid. He yells at people for smoking, is anti-drugs and a real trooper. Best sportsman ever too.. kills every sport he tries. I'm sure he'll bring his feet down to the ground one day and being very happy and successful in whatever he does...
And then there's Jen. Hmmm.. what to say about Jen?? No matter what she ends up doing she always makes it work for herself. And as such she seems to enjoy everything she does. Is definately going to be happy and successful in life. I dunno if she's smarter than me.. but she works harder lol so I guess she deserves all the accolades. Needs to leave boys alone lol. But love her or hate her she just has one of those personalities that always attracts people to her and its rare to see her not surrounded by a crowd of friends who are there coz they know it will be a load of fun just being around her. A genuine party animal. Honest and friendly, she's becoming a better and better friend and sister to have as we get older. (if not still a little bit selfish and bitchy ^_^ lol)
