I was just hanging out, doing some community service, with two of my friends from elementary school... it really made me sad when I went upstairs into my friend's room and saw a picture of our whole group from sixth grade...

Jimbob had this graduation party for us all graduating from elementary school... and I was looking at a picture she has from it and how much we've changed....

I had such long beautiful hair back then. It was a really nice brown color and it went down past my shoulders. That's not long compared to Hono's hair, but it was really long for my hair... It was slightly wavey... I was a really cute little kid(not trying to brag)... I miss how I used to look...

And then I looked at my other friends, and I really miss them. Two of them moved to other states, one of them lives in another city and I never see, one of them I just never see, and then there's Jimbob and one other one... I miss our younger selves.

The two from the group that I see still have changed a lot. I remember when Jimbob was a tomboy-ish little girl who loved rodents and was always hanging out with another girl from our group. They had this whole story called Rodents In Space. And Bubbles was always the more mature out of us. She was the first friend I had in 3rd grade, we made friends because I talked her ear off and annoyed her to death. ^.^' And now Jimbob and Bubbles are more girly and gossip about people at there school... They've changed a lot from the people who I used to play Polly Pockets and role play games with.

And then there's the girl who I never see. I found out recently from someone that her father abused her from a very young age and that her parents got divorced... I guess she tried to commit suicide too, and so Bubbles called my mom in a panic trying to figure out what to do. This girl was an amazing artist, in my opinion, and I thought of her artwork with the same respect that I now think of Strawberry's.

... I really miss them....

Then from another group was Foxy-chan, my first "boyfriend", and another boy. Heh... Found memories of role plays with those three. I'd come up with stories off the top of my head and we'd spend all recess playing them. I usually ended up being the villain, because no one else wanted to. But sometimes if I got more people to join in we could play much more complex plots.

One time I got almost the entire 4th grade to join in on a game.... It was some weird plotline about how this family from the future time traveled back to when the dinosaurs were alive. And the little girl's parents accidentally got separated from her. So she was raised by raptors until she was older. And then she found out why the dinosaurs REALLY went extinct. They were being killed by these time traveling hunters from her time who killed them all off... So she decided to try and save her dinosaur family and find out where her human family ended up. Some people joined as raptors and some as hunters. I was the little girl, and I would change sides every once and a while. It was really fun...

I wonder if all the imagination that I had back then is still in my head. Sometimes I worry that I've lost it. Because I have a harder time coming up with characters... Maybe I've just learned not to godmorn and so I try not to make such powerful characters?

Hmmmm... this probably sounds like a really emo entry, but I've been thinking about it all day.
