I finally found people that i truly and honestly fit in with...
All of my life I've been searching for somewhere to fit in...to find people who think the way i do...but all of my attempts failed until i went to this un-schooling conference in a hotel with 500! other un-schoolers... i found a group of 15 other teens...we all hung out...every day...every night...every meal (almost)... and every event that happened in those 6 days and 5 nights...there were a few main people out of that group that i grew extremely close to (these are their code names that i just now made up btw xD)...Shnuggler ( he's 17 yrs old), Pixie (She's 15 yrs old), LoggeyBear (Omg udk wanna know...that's a nickname of his....he's 15 btw), And Curly-Q (He's 17)....Night b4 last,all of us stayed up in the hotel lobby and didn't go to sleep...well kinda... Shnuggler fell asleep at the end of the couch (which we were all sitting/laying on), Pixie and Shnuggler were both freezing (Pixie is rly short and petite btw) so she cuddled up on Shnuggler's lap and ended up falling asleep at about 4 in the morning, I sat next to Shnuggler, he was like in love with my hair by the way x] He kept on stroking my hair and omg it was really relaxing!! =^.^=, and then Curly-Q sat next to me leaning his head on my shoulder, he took a 20 minute sleeping break (on my shoulder) from 5:00 - 5:20 in the morning, Shnuggler and i nvr fell asleep, even tho we came close 2 it. At like 6:00 in the morning, Pixie decided 2 go bck 2 her hotel room 4 the rest of the morning so Shnuggler like bagged me 2 sit on his lap b/c he was cold =P (lol) I stayed where i was though, i don't think my girlfriend ( XBloodyVampire3X ) would like it very much if i had fallen asleep on his lap like that, Curly-Q had 2 leave at 8:30 in the morning (The rest of us didn't leave until 3:30 in the after noon later that day)....luckily his ride came late (Thank god!) and he didn't leave until 9:45 or 10:00...Pixie didn't get 2 say bye 2 him (sadly =[) but Shnuggler and i did. When the heart breaking moment of sayings byes came, Shnuggler,Curly Q, and i all had like 10 last group hugs and sing hugs, Curly-Q cried when we were all hugging, as did i and Shnuggler, but Curly-Q cried the most. They are my best friends in the entire world and the way i love them is in the best friend way. It's more than amazing, it's so far past the words amazing and special that there aren't even words 2 describe it...but if u c all of us 2gether...you'll understand exactly what i am talking about. I can't wait until the next un-schooling conference....all 15 of the friends i made over that trip all live far away...(except for Pixie who only lives about 30 mins away)....especially Curly-Q...he lives 11 hours away by car and 16 hours away by the Gray-Hound train. It's depressing as hell! =[ But what makes me not sad is the reminder that i Will c all of them again, and that we will all get 2 hang out as a huge a** group of friends again. When i first found my way around the huge hotel i was staying in during this amazing and truly awesome trip, there always annoying sounds in the morning like little kids screaming and running (they were just SOME of the 500 hundred other un-schoolers that were there), and a really scary ice machine that sounded like exploding poop,...but right now.....I'd give ne thing 2 hear those annoying little morning noises...Even a hobo's old LEFT SHOE!...O_O
