In many ways, all the members (Whether they be the main group I associate with) or the part-time members, have become extended family.
Talking with them brightens my day, like hanging out with my best, closest friends whenever I want to without ever leaving my house.

Don't get me wrong, I have friends in real life. But they're so caught up in growing up right now that we have little time to talk or be together anymore. Or the ones who have abandoned me though acts of their own, or of distance and disassociation.
I put a high value on the word "friend". When I call Aura core members my friends, I can honestly say they mean so much to me that if we ever had to part it would be quite a distressing event.

Tarienn; You're a little weird. But its that strangeness that brought all of us together in the first place. And I guess you're fun to talk to, or somethin' (:D )

Ngawang: Man, you're like a big brother to me. Nearly as old as my own brother, haha.
But there's no day that goes by that Im not thankful for your kindness, your comfort and your friendship.
(He wrote me this song. Man I feel so sappy right now)

Jeinu; You're one of a kind, and have shown me a different side to people which I thought was impossible in anyone in this day and age anymore. A reliable source of fun, talent, interest, and peculiarity that never ceases to amaze me. Though your parents are injust. Just know that we are always here for you (If you manage some way to get online to see this)

Kyle; Hey, I might bully you once in a while, but its like giving a noogie to a little brother. I probably wouldn't have connected to the rest of the group as well if you hadn't brought us all together, tying bonds between all of us in the most subtle way I have ever seen. Least experienced of the group, I've seen you grow in your confidence, and I'm delighted with the amount of ability you have shown us so far. Keep at it.

Notorious: Stop getting maple syrup on my things.

Jello: You're cool, but you need to lay off the caffeine once in a while.

Rocky: Though I wasn't too sure of you when you first appeared on the scene, I've come to like you as a person, and hope to get to know you better. :>

Tiger: GET DONE WITH COLLEGE ALREADY AND COME BACK TO MARYLAND SO WE CAN HANG OUT.
(bitch)

As for the rest of Aura-core, who I haven't met, don't be afraid to talk to me. I'm not THAT bad of a person... > _>

In conclusion.

Love you all, don't know what I'd do without you.
