and not, when I came to die,
discover that I had not lived."

-So first I have to give a shout out to Alan. This past year would have pretty much sucked if we hadn't become such close friends. I honestly feel like I can tell him anything in the world and I competely trust him. He's also just a fun person to chill with and a really great friend as well.
-All my other amazing friends, especially those who have shared my House obsession with me *cough*House!Party*cough*. That was one of the best nights of my life and I'll never forget it. I love you guys for indulging me in my obsesion and being the absolutely most fun people to hang out with.
-LEY LEY! If you don't know by now how much I love you I don't know what I'm going to do to show you. I couldn't have asked for a better friend than you. You have no idea how often I think, "Oh my god, I miss Ley. I wish she was here!" Just so you know, no matter what you're mom does I'll probably never forgive her for moving you so far away from me. But I do know that we are going to be friends for life. I couldn't imagine the rest of my life without you in it. <3
-Josiah! I've had a great year hanging out with you. Leaving campus for lunch, hanging out in the choir room 7th period, being in Grease together. It was all amazing. You're probably the most different person that I've ever been so close to. We definitely have our differences, but we agree on a ton of stuff too and it's really easy to get along with you. Thank you so much for making English bareable this year. I would have died without you! I hope we can stay close friends for a long time even while going to different colleges.
-My sister. I love her so much and I will always admire her and try to live up to the high standards she has set for me.
I WORSHIP THESE PEOPLE:
*Because they personally inspire me*
TECH N9NE.
[The greatest rapper alive]
Panic! At The Disco.
My name is Marissa.
I am a nice person almost all of the time.
I graduated in 2008 from Shadow Mountain High School.
After all has been said and done I ended up deciding to go to ASU starting this fall.
Anyway, my life pretty much consists of reading, listening to amazing music, watching the incredible television show called House, and baseball. Mostly baseball, actually. Because as we all know, baseball = life, the rest is just details. I like other sports too, especially basetball, lacrosse, and some football as well. Also, I'm big into this psychology thing. Actually, if I could just study the brain for the rest of my life I would be perfectly content.
Testimonials:
"Marissa is pretty much a genius at everything she does, she's got cool hair, she likes cool things because she's cool, aaaaaand she's just all around better than you. OH! And she likes cookies." --Megan
"Marissa is one of the smartest people I know. All of her ideas are absolutly brilliant! She's also the coolest one out of our group of friends. I am proud to say she's one of my closest friends." --Alan
"Marissa is one of the nicest people I know, and I'll probably ever know. She's always there for me, whenever I need it. I think I take that for granted since sometimes I try to figure things out on my own and I don't ask for your help. I need to stop that because I know that you won't judge me or make fun of me. Anyways, you are an amazing person and I'm very glad to know you." --Katie [My Bestest Friend in the Whole World!!! :D]
"I love that fact that she is AWESOME!! Think about it is there anyone else that I could say is TRUELY awesome like her? NO! She is the top tier candidate! SHE IS MORE AWESOMER THAN YOU!!! FAR AND AWAY!!!" --Josiah
Who I'd like to meet:
Olivia Wilde: And all of Marissa's friends let out a collective "duh."
Todd Fedoruk: After finding Carcillo's teeth he became my favorite person in the world, haha.
Kevin Porter: You are great. :D
Stephen Drew. So I can tell him how much I love him and how awesome he is, despite the fact that he is totally insane. ^^

I'm gonna be going to the ASU downtown campus instead of Tempe, unless something changes haha... yeah I totally need to get around to seeing you before it is hot outside and I make excuses lol I hate going out in the heat.. fucking Phoenix
Yeah, I really need to start that homework. I heard it's a pain in the ass too. Ugh. I'll still be on myspace and watching Mike Rowe catch spiders though. Ha ha. I'll text and call you tomorrow to see what's going on!
I should be starting statistics homework due tomorrow but... I'm distracted. Obviously. I'm going to end up staying up late again. I got less than 3 hours of sleep last night. Awesome. So what time do you get out of class tomorrow?
Hi Marissa! I haven't been on myspace in forever, but the emails were beginning to pile up. Heh heh. I noticed you were online too! I was thinking to myself, "Right now, Marissa is probably sitting in her dorm room on her laptop." Sweet. I know, we need to see each other more often. Or maybe I'll just avoid you to keep your Coyotes shirt for myself. Mwaha.
hmm well I am pretty much good anytime other than the times I am at school. I think we actually have a half day coming up on a Tuesday. what are your Tuesdays like?
I'd love to come visit so I have a little bit of an idea what I'm in for. Can I do that, just come and visit the campus?
and no, I hate tea.. pretty much all tea. I went to a chinese restaurant last Saturday and had hot tea with some sugar in it, that was actually not too bad but otherwise ewww tea.
oh I am always afraid to try something new besides the peach hehe. I miss you too! whenever I hear people doing all their junior year homework I'm like omg I miss that! well, kind of but not really... it will never be the same :(
