To start off, I was given chocolates and a new Webkinz today, with a card that had a note from Rolf on the side saying "THIS IS NOT FROM ME" I love that man; he knows how to keep me from being pissed off
Anyway - to start this list. I don't know a lot of these men, but that doesn't lessen their impact on my life.
John Lennon- How many times have I written this paragraph? You made me more aware of the world around me through your music and through your words. It is safe to say that without you I would not even be alive today and I would certainly not be the person I am. Thank you for everything, especially helping me realise I am not alone in the world.
Taker - You changed my life the moment I laid eyes on you. It was my friends that indirectly turned me on to wrestling, but YOU made me love it. Sometimes there are people or things you just KNOW will be a part of you forever, and you are that person for me. You are so a part of my being that people who don't even know me associate you with me. I don't think I'll ever stop loving you, and if these feelings fade...I know I won't forget you.
George H.W. Bush- It is because of you that I have this great love of politics and my country. You don't get enough credit, as a President and more importantly, as a person. You are still a hero of mine and you hold a special place in my heart.
A- I think you are one of the people who has changed me the most...sometimes for the worse, and sometimes for the better. Some of my greatest characteristics evolved and developed more because I paid so much attention to you: my ability to speak to people and my love of history and politics being two. From you I learned many lessons and you will continue to be a factor in my life, whether I like it or not...and sometimes, I do.
Evan- You helped me grow from a child into a teenager because you hurt me so badly. I had never been f***ed over like that, and you indirectly helped me be more proficient at picking my friends. I haven't gotten f***ed over like that since.
Dan- Conversely, you helped me grow from a teenager into an adult. Because of what you did to me, I know who I am and I don't have to search anymore. And not only do I know...I'm comfortable with and love who I am. I'm not vengeful anymore and I realise exactly what that relationship did for me. I came out better because of it.
Al Gore- You re-inspired my love of politics and I would never be the whole person I am today without you, I'm sure.
George W. Bush- You made me an activist. I don't want to give you credit for anything, but truthfully, I have to. Al Gore may have reawakened the politico inside me, but you made me want to fight for what I believe in.
Chris- You opened the door for me in so many ways and even though we don't talk so much anymore I still remember those spring days we spent together with Jon, Kirsten, and Kelly just hanging out...and how we'd stay together afterwards and fool around. I remember how we fooled around during and after that party after I fooled around with like half the party...you were a great "buddy". We have so many memories.
Jon- I will never have a guy friend like you. Ever. Again. At least a straight guy friend like you. You were like my brother and the bond we shared will be unequaled as far as male friends go for me. Those long spring days of fighting with sticks that were supposed to be swords (I still remember that one time I won and you freaked out) and playing Street Fighter II...and every time we sat and talked out our issues. God I still remember that time that Dan and I were over your house and you ran outside and squirted juice all the way into the window from the ground into your room and hit him in the face....and the time you escorted me to English because the day before those boys threatened to beat me up. You were one of the best friends I ever had and I so wish that our friendship didn't have to end the way it did.
L- Referencing Robin Williams when he talked about a gorilla that hit on him (how appropos) "And I thought...why not?"
Dr. Cannavale- You were a great confidante during that whole crisis with Dan and you were like a father figure....which I've never really had throughout my life. I know that there are a lot of things going on in your life right now and I know I will probably never see you again but if I could see you again I would probably tell you that I want to thank you for seeing all the potential in me that I never saw in myself.
Mr. Ryan- It was so fun talking with you after class....and you were another father figure. You were really protective of me and you have no idea how much I appreciate that. It was such a different experience for me, having men that actually cared about me in my life.
Vern- If I could have chosen my father, I would have chosen you. You are the ultimate dad and really, the ultimate person. To the man who got out of the draft by pretending he was gay and mentally unstable, and to the man that toured with The Beatles...I say...thank you for everything you've done for me and I so wish you were my dad.
Dave- You were the first guy that I was really able to give up on and not get caught up on. When I realised you were obsessed with Joleen, I really sat down and said to myself - "If I stay into this guy and try to get with him .... I'm going to get hurt". Thanks for helping me realise when to stop.
Mohamed- For some reason, I spent like a whole year being stuck on you and you also lent a hand in my becoming a political activist. Somehow. I don't even know what attracted me to you in the first place but I do know that you were like a light in the darkness during 8th grade which was such a terrible year.
John "Mengele"- I so wanted to be everything to you before I met Rolf and then I realised you're completely and totally f***ed. Thanks for helping me realise what kind of men I should be dating and what kind of men I should avoid.
That's about it for me, folks...

"not from me"...I like it, and I like him too!
This is a wonderful, thoughtful blog. Another side of you we don't usually get to see.
Glad to see you had a good day, and I wish for many more for you!

Wow, you are very insightful! I only wish, when I was your age, I had been that intelligent and aware.
