Hey everyone! So the story is I've been tagged by RainbowDashLoyalty and NekoRoronoaZoro to tag 8 amazing people and share stuff about why I love them. (Well, something like that.) Anyway, here goes!

*sorry Vicky and Emma but since you tagged me I can't exactly tag you back, but you know I love you nonetheless*

1. CaptainOnesto Christina! You've always been there for me and never given up on me even though I sometimes try to persuade you to otherwise. You're the sister I've never had (not really sure how to phrase that, so I'll just go with it) and have never forgotten me amongst everyone else in the universe. You've made sure that I'm *mostly* never left out and are always helping me feel better when I'm in hard times. You help me see myself as a better person (I'm getting there, don't worry!) and keep cheering me on from the sidelines when I'm nervous about something. Out of everyone, it's you (and Vicky, obviously, but I can't retag her) that I trust the most and would give my life up for in a heartbeat. We do so many amazing things together (such as cooking, baking, and playing School of Dragons together) and have always gotten along due to our immense list of things we have in common. You have also given me so many things to find that I've actually ended up liking (such as BTS, Kpop in general, and Korean dramas) more than I would have ever guessed. It's because of you that I've discovered so many new things about the world around me and those in the world around me *cough cough SUGA, V, KIM TAN, GU JUN PYO, YOON JIHOO , BAEK SUNGJO, NAOKI IRIE, UEHARA, DAICHI cough cough * (just kidding, but it technically counts). We have so many inside ARMY jokes and random language quotes together that I'm sure a few people think we're crazy. But hey, I can't really complain, they just don't get what we're talking about! So thank you for being the person to always introduce new things to me and being another person to fangirl with. You're truly the mix of J-Hope and Jin that we see you as. You're both amazing and fun to hang around while also being really caring and kind to everyone, even if you don't know them. Thank you for being such an amazing friend Christina. <3

2. platypii6 Sarah! What can I say, I've known you for like five years now and I'm surprised we weren't friends sooner (well, besides that fact that we went to different schools). You're pretty much the triplet of group, especially since we have so much in common and do *everything* together. I'm sure our teachers must have noticed something was up by now. You're really fun to hang out with, whether it's Orchesis, outside of school, sneaking around in "forbidden areas" or in a random classroom or hallway, and I know I can always come to you for advice if I ever need it. I also know I can always rely on you for help (well, not too much, but you know what I mean) and for Orchesis questions I might have. As I said with Christina, we have MANY inside jokes together, and I'm quite shocked we can still remember them all. From Klüb Ice to Undertale to Mossy Zinc, we always have something to talk about/like and can find some way to cheer the other up no matter how upset they are. You are one of the few people who can make me laugh even when I'm sad. Thanks for always being there for me Sarah. <3

3. wildfireopal Lindsey! Even though we can't see each other often due to having complete opposite schedules I also consider you one of my closest friends. You've always been there for me and have made sure that I'm never left out in some way. Even though I rarely see you at school and outside of it, I know I can rely on you for even the most complex things. You are honestly an inspiration for me because of your perseverance and the courage to never give up even though something might be hard. You always look at the world around you with the eye of an optimist and I have to give you a lot of credit for that, it's harder than it seems. I also have to give you credit for sticking with your ideas, even if the turnout isn't as it seems. Thank you so much for always being so kind to me and being such an awesome friend. <3

4. ccgg112 Catherine! (I should just start every paragraph like this, don't you think??) We met in sixth grade and have been good friend ever since. Mr. Atkinson still remembers us and is constantly telling his students how evil we were in plotting to take over the world (or something like that) and I can guarantee that we left a very big mark on that school when we left to go to high school. I can remember all the way back to the Mesopotamia map project that we worked on together - with some other people I don't feel the need to mention - and how you made amazing clay palm trees and pyramids to add a more 3-D effect and then gave me the palm trees to take home. Which I forgot in my locker until the end of the year when I finally took it home and it broke on the bus ride from school. :( Well I enjoyed it while I could. I will admit I was very disappointed when I discovered our three year middle school class goal was cut in eighth grade when we didn't have all our classes together anymore nor do we have any together in high school. Regardless of that, you've still always remained my friend and I am happy to say that we still get along and talk sometimes whenever we have group meet ups and get togethers. Thank you for always remaining my friend even though we've been split up more. <3

5. tashykawa Ame-Chan!! ^-^ I remember how we randomly started talking through comments on a YouTube video and then eventually learned more about each other through Skype. Ever since discovering our common interests in exchange and the culture of Japan we've gotten along really well and have given each other more and more information about trying to go study abroad. Sadly we were not available to convince our parents nor were we able to make enough money while working, though I believe you made a lot of progress with your parents. While talking and sharing information we quickly came up with the event known as "らめん Talk" or "らめん Chat". Personally I find these to be really fun and informative so hopefully we can find a time where we (the three of us) are free at the same time to get together and do it again! ^-^ It's been fun talking with you and discovering the absolute horror of まくらのだんし as a group and internally all dying together at the complete cringe that comes from the overall idea of the very sad show. Daring each other to watch an episode (like episode 7... just let me go die in a hole real quick) , we had many fun and TERRIBLE times and I hope we can continue that in the future! Well, not まくらのだんし, but hey we could try something else!! Maybe we could even annoy your brother again in every way possible! I hope you are having fun in Texas making a few random YouTube videos - which I always watch - and making tons of らめん and drinking らむね. Let's try to do more long informative talks sometime! <3

6. danny092103 DANIELLE!!!!! Sorry, but I kind of have to tag you due to your immense influence in my life whether you like it or not. :) We met through Christina (obviously) and have the fun experience of saying random stuff directed at each other and pretending we never noticed that it was directed at a specific person. We've also have the fun experience of playing Minecraft together and being completely taken over by Ghasts and random Cave Spiders. While I am not completely sure how that happened I'm glad I've been able to spend more time with you when hanging out with Christina because it's fun to have you around too. Christina thinks so too, even though she likes to be stubborn and doesn't always like to admit it. :) It's really fun to play Mermaid Cafe with you and Christina when we have the time and I can guarantee that the four of us will always have that inside joke about Gorgonzola and the 73% salt water, not the 72% salt water. Also the jokes about Christina's powerful tail slapping in order to get the attention of a waitress and the unreliable market guy who is supposed to buy our groceries but never shows up to deliver them. Thanks for always putting up with me and my randomness and really bad orders about the Gorgonzola sponge cake. I look forward to spending more time with you in the future. <3

7. Caseh1 Cassie!! :D I may not have known you too long (okay, maybe like 3-4 months) but you and everyone else in Midnight Eclipse are so amazing that I just had to put you down! To be honest I never expected us to have so much in common with our daily lives and also our random interests such as cooking and Kpop. While you are more of a Jimin stan and I am more of a Suga and V stan, I'm happy we are able to work together in the performance of I Need U and the ones to come in the future. It is fun to sit with you and Rhea (and Christina :D) at lunch and I'll miss you guys next quarter when I don't have a lunch anymore. It's funny how we met only a few months ago on the ARA, but I honestly feel like I've known you, Ninely, Minhall, Rhea, and - in a way Raven - for longer because I am actually comfortable around you guys and trust you all already. Believe me when I say it's nearly impossible to earn my actual trust, so good job!! I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you and everyone else that attended our Orchesis concert because you went even though you still didn't know Vicky and I too well yet. I look forward to having more practice with you and I can't wait for us to finally shoot that music video!! <3

8. stephanie_swan Stephanie!!! (What are you surprised??) We met a while ago (I can't really remember when) but I didn't get to know you more until eighth grade when we had most of our classes together. Like Catherine, I can say that we make a very lasting impact on our school, especially with Mrs. Teramoto. Having all our afternoon classes together with her as our teacher was definitely the highlight of my last year in middle school and I don't think I could forget it even if I tried. Thanks for never letting me be alone in my classes and for always being a friend to me even when we didn't know each other too much at the beginning of the year. It was fun while it lasted and I hope you are having fun at Hersey and that we can get together and hang out something again. <3

     Well, that's it for now. I apologize to everyone that I didn't include in this because sadly it's tag 8 people, not 20. :/ For those of you who know me thank you for being amazing and I hope you enjoy your days! ^-^
