Please read these Rachel.. I kept all our messages/convos and these are only some of them.
When i read them, it upset me alot that we are not friends any more..
All i want is for us to be able repair our relationship to some level and to be able to say hello from time and see how eachother are doin... you may think whats the point to that but i care(and cared alot about you rachel) and i know you cared about me also..
..this is so obvious from reading our convos.. I remember the feeling i used to get when we used to chat and when i recieved a message from you.. this feeling inside my stomach..
I remember the feeling i used to get in work in encinitas - the feeling of pure excitement because i was going to see you after work..
I genuinely hope you are happy and wish you all the success in the world because you are incredible and depite what has happened,people make mistakes and what not... people also deserve second chances and a go a making things right.
i want you to know i will NEVER forget getting to know you and being with you..

Dear Diary...
Question: What is the one thing more annoying than drunk texts and calls???
ypical guy and a liar"... (totally laughing right now)... I have no idea where that came from!!! Oh my god, David... you must think I'm totally NUTS!!! But that's not to say everything is a lie... I also say a lot of things Im too chicken sh*t to say sober...
Anywho... how are ya Davey Poo? Good, I hope. Or suffering from lack of sleep because you are awakened early every morning from the vibration of your phone??? (Who does that anyway? How rude! Damn Americans and their lack of manners!) How is work going? So you told them you were coming to SD? I'm sure they were bummed that you are leaving... I would be bummed too if I was missing out on the entertainment that is Riordo! I am really bummed that you won't be in Ireland to show me around... but I was thinking about it and I might actually see you more since you will be here.
Our friend from Ireland wants me to go there for a weekend in July to go to some big concert or festival or something... know anything about that? That might be a stupid question.. like "do you know that one song they sing in America? Yeah, it says something about a girl and a boy???"
I'm REALLY excited for you to be here in July!!! You'll get to be here for the 4th which will be an amazing time! You will have a blast!What will you be doing for your internship? Are you getting a car? When is your bro coming out? Which one is it? Did you know in the song Piano Man by Billy Joel he says the names Paul and Davey pretty much back to back?
So what exactly happened with your ex- girlfriend??? (feel free not to answer if you don't want to)... I kinda know what you mean.. yeah, kinda. My ex and I didn't really break-up.. it's a strange situation.. but the short of it is that he basically vanished from my life one day (literally)... I had know idea that the last time we hugged/kissed/said I love you was the last time we would ever do it again (but isn't that usually the case?)... I don't know where he is today, and I'm pretty sure I will never see or talk to him again. It was devastating... quite a way to experience your first heartbreak/break-up!!! But break-ups are tough regardless of the situation. ... I felt really awful for Ash when she told me about Darren. It brought back a lot of issues/emotions I have felt in my own life... I kinda felt like I had been dumped! It's just such an awful feeling.. and I hate that someone I care about has to feel that pain. But then again, she would have never experienced all the wonderful things she experienced with Darren... so... that's life. At least she doesn't have to see him, right? She doesn't have to deal with the bumping into him at a bar and being like, "who's he here with? What does she look like? Is she fat? She better not be cuter than me!" But then you want her to be cute too because you don't wanna be dumped for an ugly girl cuz that just means he didn't like your personality. Oh boy... drama drama drama! So fun to be a girl. Do guys do that stuff?
We have indeed had a very interesting week! It's been actually a really great week. A lot of crazy stuff has happened and we have experienced all extremes of emotions.. it's been awesome. I feel blessed to have people in my life that I can cry with one second, and laugh with a second later. It's a beautiful thing! (eew.. I'm such a girlie girl right now! Are you throwing up yet?? Cuz I am.)
Well friend, I think I should change your name in my phone to "my diary" because I have totally spilled my guts to you... you're probably bored out of your mind. "Thanks for listening to me diary.. you are always such a good friend..." =) But I won't change it to that, cuz I don't like it. What do you want to be? It's gotta be good.. I think I may know what I will do...
Okey dokey Dots... it's been real! Chat you soon, I'm sure.
Oh yeah.. forgot to tell you that yes we will def. pick you up and will for darned sure be going out.. if your not too tired. You better rest up on the plane ride cuz we're gonna rock n roll! I'm excited to (hopefully) show ya a good time.
Nellsie Poo (love it that you call me that)

David!!!
Im soooooo sorry for calling/messaging you a hundred times... it really is embarassing to me.. despite the fact that I keep on doing it! Hopefully you will be flattered..cuz i don't really do it to anyone else... and we'll just leave it at that. So we're picking you up from the airport, yeah? =) ... I will write you later... prob tonight. Think Ash and I are taking a break tonight... I think, I hope! She's been going all out hardcore since the divorce... and I've been going with her.. I'm a good friend, what can I can I say?!?! hahah. Anyway, chat you soon friend!

Well Davey, what's the crack? (Did I use it properly... is that how you spell it?)
I thought it only right to bump you up... if it were up to me you'd be higher than ..8... but thats just pushing it! I think 8 out of 207 is pretty darn good though! I checked my call time after we got off yesterday... yep, 1 hr 37 min! The funny thing too is that I really didn't want to get off the phone... but I guess the conversation had to end sometime. Now this is a semi-permanent move...the ball is in your court... I trust that you will not let me down.. as you said. Thanks for bumping me up as well!!!
Bumping me to ..2 has got me thinking... maybe my focus has been all wrong. Maybe I need to start thinking about my standing with you! ... So what's a girl gotta do to get bumped to ..1??? I'll talk to Ashley.. get some pointers maybe. Though she may be hesitant to give anything away as she may enjoy her ..1 standing with you... as she should!
Well, I hope you have a great day... glad I could maybe make your day a little bit better! We are definitely 100% closer! hahah.. I still can't believe I said that... and I can't believe you still talk to me!!! I'm nucking futs!!! (as you put it).
Give Mickey my love! =D (That was the best story I've heard in a looooonnng time... you better not be makin it up!)
Talk to you soon!

That is fucking awesome rach..I cant believe you did that...You're such a dude..That took alot of balls..Respect to you..I'm over the moon to be honest..i jumped up from my computer and punched the air a few times..So it doesnt seem that im ungrateful,i have bumped you up also..it's only fair me thinks..It was a good chat afterall...however,i fully understand if you neeed to change back to your original top8..At least i made it in there(even if it is only for a short stint)...I checked the call duration when i was in my firsr lecture this morning an dit was 1hour 37mins.!!
There's now way it seemed like we were talking for that long.!!Anyways,it was cool talking and i feel "100% closer" to you now..
Thanks again for putting your faith in me as a friend by bumping me up..I wont let you down nellsie poo..Promise!!
Have a good day and congrats again on your promotion!
Later no. 2 buddy.

10% business... 90% other
Hi David... (rarely call you David, thought I'd try it out)
So, how was your drive home? Presuming you are reading this letter, you have made it home safe and sound and there is no cause for concern... fingers crossed. I won't hold my breath though as it would take far too long for me to know the answer... and that's just pure madness!.. even though I am really good at it. In my 8th grade history class everyday I would hold my breath and time how long I could do it for! I got up to like 1 min 45 sec! Good to know Im so well educated.
So what happened at work that made it the worst day ever? That's such a bummer. I hate that feeling. Was someone rude to you?
So how's life... how's school... how's things? Good, I hope. When are your exams again? Didn't you have that ball or whatever this weekend? How was that? A lot of dancing, drinking, and scoring I presume!!! You know what the phrase is for that, don't ya Davey Poo... GOOD TIMES!
Well, I've been working a lot the past couple days... 12 hrs yesterday, 12 today, and 8 tomorrow! I'm saving up $ so I can afford to buy you your drinks when you drink us under the table.
I was an extra yesterday and I am SSSSOOOO stoked because I made like a ridiculous amount of money(well.. compared to what I'm used to)!!! I wanted to call everyone I knew, or shout it from the roof-top... but that's just inpolite really... appropriate place to end paragraph... =D
So I spoke to Jill today and Paul will def. have a job if he wants. (And if he stays all through summer I can get an i-pod shuffle for referring him... so I will keep my fingers crossed for that as well.. heheh). But yeah, when he gets here he just will have to go in to fill out an application and he has to take a drug test too, so hopefully he'll be okay for that.. yes? It takes a few days for the results and he can't start working till all that has cleared, so he'll want to go in right away. I can get it all set up for him the closer we get if he wants.. or I can give him the number...
So driving home after work I was thinking and it hit me that you will be here in less than a month! What do you think... are you still excited? I'm not... rumor has it that you are not really funny... and not all that cool. What a bummer... maybe you can introduce me/us to some of your funny and cool friends that are coming over instead... give me something to look forward to. ;)
Ummm... the text you sent me was soooo cute... I loved it... I kinda had to bite my lip to stop from smiling so big... (but don't tell anybody that.. I would hate to give up my hard-ass reputation). You better stop sending me cute things like that because Im running out of old texts to erase to make space for the new ones.
Well... on that note, I'm gonna go. Off to bed.. then back at work. Boo hoo.
P.S. ... only intended this letter to be about 2 paragraphs... but of course, here we are... 25 paragraphs later!
Talk to you soon. Hope you have a much better day today than yesterday. Yeah, yesterday is so over.. it's all about today... new day, new beginning... blah bla blah. Very tired... off to bed... I need MICKEY here to cuddle with me.
Good night!

RE: pretty please..
hmmmm... okay Dave. I read your plea and I gave it some thought...
I decided to keep you in my top 8.. cuz despite your lack of recent cheesie messages, you are in fact ..1 in my heart... so the least I could do is keep you in my top 8, right?
Wow, Davey! You still have five more exams left?!?!?! How many classes are you taking???? How have they gone so far? How sad to move out... it's so weird to spend so much time in the same place with the same people and then one day it's over... I guess all good things must come to an end... another one of those lame cliches (but if you like it.. I like it too! ;) hahah, just kidding). So how'd the move go? Are you back at home? How come all your friends are done and drinking and you still have more??? That sucks!
So I had such an amazing weekend with my family... it was so great! The race was soooooo cool!!!! I've never seen Indy cars race... they are so incredibly fast... I just can't even describe it. There was a bad crash on the second lap and my mom totally got the whole thing on camera.. it's so cool! It was so hot though!!! I almost passed out.. literally. Hundreds of people were taken to the hospital for dehydration.. it was over 100 degrees and we were sittin outside for over 4 hours.
So I flew to Colorado and met my mom, dad, sis and her fiance and we all drove to Indiana in my parents Denali.. I was crammed in back most of the trip... which was okay I guess. And my brother and sister-in-law flew from SD and met us there. So there was A LOT of driving.. but it was fun... except I started the trip off (literally 5 minutes into it) by fighting with my dad... which we almost never do. We were shouting really nasty things.. it was pretty heartbreaking.... but then like a typical guy.. he took a nap and woke up and pretended as if nothing happened. Oh well... such is life.
So I was a little disheartened when we set out on the road and I realized that it was the 7 of us on the trip... yes 7. That meant my brother and his wife, my mom and my dad, and my sister and her fiance... and me. I was like, "ah man... not again!" And we were driving and I was smashed in the back seat next to all the luggage... usually it's grandma (hahahah) .. and my sister and her fiance were in the two seats in front of me... and they were so cute it was really disgusting.... But it was totally adorable... it's great to see my sister so happy and with a guy I love so much. But my single girl blues quickly faded as... Yep... I went away this weekend.. fell in love with a gorgeous boy/man and we eloped! It was the happiest day of my life...
OR... none of that happened and the veil was just wishful thinking! My sister was trying on her wedding gown ... god she looked sooooo AMAZING... just beyond breath-taking.... it's just not right. I could never look like her! But I guess it's her day so she deserves it! We were finishing up and I grabbed the veil and tiarra and put it on and was like, "mom... get a picture... god knows when we'll see this again!"We all got a good kick outta it.. even the ladies who worked there when they found out I didn't even have a boyfriend. What? Can't a single girl try on a veil? Next time Im gonna go all out and try on the wedding dress too! hahahaha
Yeah, don't you worry Davey... no one can replace you! You're just sooo.... "DIFFERENT!!" =D
... told you I had a ghetto ass!!!!
Uh, Dave.... a video camera is BAD news!!!! I'm SCCCAAARRRREEEEDDDD!!!! The last thing I need to see is the stupid crap we say and do when we drink... though Im sure it will be quite entertaining. As long as you agree to erase the embarassing stuff... you will erase the embarassing stuff, won't you?
I love that you use words like "dichotomy"... you are so smart. I love it! Do you use the thesaurus when you are writing letters to me? You do, huh? I knew it. Too good to be true... so I totally know what you're saying about the nerves/anxiety/excitement... I was thinking about it today as I was walking through the airport... and that's how I feel about your coming to SD... which may be kinda lame... but Im nervous/excited/anxious... nervous for the airport... perhaps I can just meet you and Ash at the bar!!!! Hey... you can bring the video camera so the next day you can show me what happened!!!! =D
Well.. I'm gonna wrap it up... seeing as you probably don't have much time to spare as it is... and this letter is quite extensive! Good luck on the rest of your exams! Can't wait to see you Dave! What are we at... 12 days.. 11??? WOW!
Later dude!
P.S. What exactly did Ash say the other day when she text you? Guess she's still torn up over Darren... maybe cuz he still hasn't even thought of writing her.. or anything. What a way to end your first love. But... that's guys... that's life.

Please dont kick me outta your top 8...please....I'd normally be sending you cheesie messages but ive been trying to keep my head down in the books.Ive got 5 more exams and then i wont have to send you messages,i will just be able to beg in person.
Ive got an exam in 3 hours and i just could not be arsed in doing any more work for it.I am soo sick of studying..Im moving out of my campus accomadation this eveing after my exam.I think paul or dad is coming up to take me and my shit home...Its going to be emotional as there were many good times here during the year...I will miss this place..
So,when did you get married?Was it a good day?You look real pretty..I hope the guy is cool..Please dont replace me with him...
your bum looks quite nice in that picture(for a ghetto ass)...Rachel,i hate this time of year as i am stuck behind this stoopid desk and the weather is unbeievable outside...most of my friends are finshed and they are either hungover in bed or lying out in the sun,drinking!!....If i wasnt going to america i dont know what i'd do?.....cry i guess..
This message was only ment to be a few sentences,basically a plee to keep me at number 8 but it has snowballed into a bit of a ramble...
Im sorry bout that but i just cant stop... I bought a digital video camera at the weekend...I am going to be like one of those japanese people who takes photos of everything when i arrive...I will also be video-ing you and ashley when ye are shit-faced and showing you guys the day after how much crap you talk when you are crunk.
I have a dicotmomy of emotions at the moment... I have this feeling in my stomach and this feeling is a feeling i get when i am excited but also also when i am nervous/anxious... Of course,when you are excited about something,you can also be anxious and nervous anout doing it,but for some reason i dont think i am excited about this exam today....
It's weird,,,i really feel excited about going to SD but at the same time i have that nervous,exam feeling...and the feeling i have in my stomach is for both of those things
So..thats enough waffle,how are things with you?Was your family trip lots of fun?Id say they were so glad to see you..Im going to be really glad when I eventually see you..
Later ..1

Nicew comment from Gavin! .. Uh, anyway... so didn't remember talkin to you last night... BIG SHOCKER!!!!! I still don't.. but Jill told me this morning. I see that I sent you 500 text messages that make no sense.. which probably means talking to me was REALLY fun (extremely sarcastic)... can't wait for you to have the video camera here!.. though I don't think I'll ever get that wasted around you.... which is a good thing!

hey! Um.. you didn't message me.. did you tell me you did??? I thought you said that, but you must be thinking about one of the other lady-friends in your budding social life! Or maybe you were just talking about Ashley. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and tell you what a huge PANSY you are. =) And also that I put some good beach blankets in my trunk (or boot as you may call it) in case we go to the beach again. Maybe we could... watch the sunset!?!?! CHEESE-EEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! Give me a ring Mon.. presumably today if you are checking this at work. I'm off Tuesday, so maybe I could sneak you into my pad again... if im feeling brave and you're feeling lucky.. guess we'll find out!
Bye Poo Face!

RE: RE: hey hey
Body: HIIIIII!!!! What was that triple P name we thought of??? Something that ended in pansy.. that's all I know! ;) So... I really hate it when you sleep in my bed with me. And I hate waking up next to you... and I hate thinking about when it WILL happen again! Thanks for another nice date night... maybe we can do it again soon?.?. We need to get a bigger beach blanket! So you wanna try second base, huh? I'm not all too familiar with baseball... but you may think about stealing second if you want.. Im not gonna necessarily give you though go ahead.. but Im not going to NOT give you the go ahead... if you catch my drift!!! =) hmmmm....
So you're going shopping today after work? A sandwich sounds "delish" right about now! My day is broing. I've been looking up things we can do... I haven't found a whole lot of night time stuff.... mostly what we've been doing. So if you're bored and you wanna hang out tonight, let me know. I don't work till 2:00 tomorrow. But there's always something to do... so you may wanna hang with the boys. Don't want them to think you are a big ol Pa... you know the rest. But I may try to arrange a place to sleep at jill and ash's tonight just so i don't have to worry about all that crap. Maybe not though. we'll see. So how's work today? Run any errands or just hanging around chatting on myspace? What an awesome gig!!!! You're so lucky!
Gonna go. Talk to you soon. =)

So how's SD without me? Missing me much? You don't have to answer.. I know you are.
Well, I miss you a bit. A lot of the people I see remind me of you... like style wise... but none of them are half as cute as you, so don't you worry your pretty little head off. =)
Well I hope you are still having a blast in SD without me. Have you kept in touch with the girls, or vice versa? Hopefully so... If you want Beth or Ketti's number I can give it to you. ALso, you can always get in touch with Ciara cuz she always wants to hang out! Hopefully they are showing you a good time.
I will try to get to the internet cafe as much as possible to wirte to everyone.. and of course I will text you too! On Tuesday we are having a guest Q and A with Alan Rickman! I had to re-audition my Shakespeare piece today. I sucked, but Im glad its over with. Im going to a club tonight I think.. so Im very excited. I've met some really cool people already, so I think it will be good times.
Miss you David! Talk to you soon.
