Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart.. I’ll always be with you.-- Winnie the Pooh

Claire and Alex left us last week. Rachel and Marina left on Friday. And, this Friday, Freddie, Tori, Methini and moi will be leaving. I will be the last to leave, the final Marmite. (how ironic, I'm listening to the Final Countdown while I write this!!!)

This song brings back soo many memories of me, Freddie and Chantel dancing like loons in the silent disco!! In fact, today I've been remembering lots of the fun times. I started to sort out my room today, and I'm going to have to clear it all out because my brother's getting my room once i've moved out. So i was finding junk that's been hidden for the last ten years and reminising about my time here in Jersey. I found some programs and ticket stubs from Stratford, which brought back memories of both Stratford trips. Freddie dancing to Queen in our room, shopping till we dropped with Claire, going to see Cymbeline, and of course, Freddie almost dying of excitement before The Tempest because of Patrick Stuart!!

I then found photos of the trip to Berlin with Methini and Marina, and I remembered the amazing fun we had. I then thought of Paris in Year 8 and Sri Lanka last year, and I'm thankful that I've had soo many opportunities to go away with my friends.

And there are soo many good memories that I hope I will never forget. And many of them involve Team Marmite. I'd like to add that I coined the name for us, although Freddie tries to take the credit!!

Swimming in our clothes, dancing like an idiot at Jersey Live, (ok, dancing like a loon anytime i drink alcohol), the gigs, the many movie outings, playing 40:40 in the dark, the orange game, beating the crap out of my friends, English lessons, beach times, crazy birthdays, tight tights!!......i could go on forever, there are soo many memories that just make me giggle when i think of them.

So, I just want to say good luck to Marina, Claire, Rachel, Freddie, Tori, Methini and Alex, and thank you so much for being the greatest friends anyone could ever want. I can't wait to see you guys again at Christmas so we can catch up!!

And to answer an earlier post of Freddie's - my eyes are my favourite part of my body. Which is weird cause they never stay open in photos!! Ha ha!! I love my eyes because they're never a definite colour. My mum says they're hazel, I've been told they're green, or brown, or grey. I love my eyes because i can see beautiful things, and my eyes express me too, even when I dont say anything.
