Well, I'm in a very good mood today, and I have been like the past few weeks... um, I only do the rants at like 3 AM. So yeah. Anyway, I've decided to list all the people who have influenced my life for the better! In chronological order...

My siblings. They are by far the coolest people I know. They have given me my... common sense I suppose. They have also influenced my opinions far more than my parents, and to be honest, I enjoy their company far more than either parent. If it weren't for my brother, I probly wouldn't be into videogames, and that would suck. And my sister pretty much gave me every opinion that I haven't made on my own. Except the realization that I'm atheist. That was my brother.

Then there's Siyu, the first real friend I ever had. All my other friends had been using me, or just generally been jerks until I met Siyu. He was so cool! We liked all the same shows and games, and he was much more fun to hang around than.... um, my loser friends. I guess he kinda showed me that friends don't have to abuse each other, physically or mentally. Though they do fight. That's a given. Sadly, he moved to Indiana shortly after the end of 6th grade. We kept in contact for about a year, then just stopped talking. I did talk to him around a month ago online, however. But he's not the same. We've both changed a lot, but I think he changed more. He hasn't gotten a new game in 6 months, and he's into basketball. I hate sports. So, I don't know Siyu anymore. But it still is fun to look back to the years that he made me happy.

I should probly mention my friends Bryan and James, but neither of them really had an effect on me...

Next would be Shadow Jaganshi! If it weren't for me stumbling across her fanfiction one day, I wouldn't have begun obsessively reading all her stories, and then her myotaku... And because of her, I started to be more open about and embrace my insanity. It was fun, but I still was pretty antisocial, so I didn't make any friends all through 8th grade... I just kept the same three. Oh well.

Next is Liz! She completely changed my freaking life! I mean, I wasn't really depressed, but from the time Siyu moved, my life had been in a downward spiral... I was completely antisocial, still had only three friends, and I listened to my music almost constantly... After meeting her, I'm much more outgoing. I mean, I have real conversations with people! She kind of pulled me out of my shell, so to speak. And also thanks to her, I have like 10 more friends! She introduced me to Chris, Brian, Cam, um... Steve, kinda... and Tim, although I still barely know the latter.

Speaking of Chris, she has also been a good part of my life! She was the first person around my age that I could ever talk to about anything, be it serious, philosophical, political, or crazy! I can also have such conversations with Liz, but they're not as fun... (no offense Liz!)

And both Liz and Chris can actually see more than what's right in front of them, something that most adults don't think kids are capable of... aaaand this is turning into a rant. NO! Bad Tom!

Okay, so the last person is more of a group of people. Whatever. It's Brian, Cam, um... and those other guys, but not as much. They've shown me that there are people out there a lot like me who just... they're similar. And I've never known anyone that was really um... similar to me. Yeah. Anyway, another reason that these guys have had an effect on me is 'cause they helped Liz and Chris be not depressed. So yeah.

I can't think of anyone else. I'm going to leave now. I'm really hungry.
