Earlier today I had to oppertunity to get high. Did I take advantage of it? No... why? Because Haley was there, I've never gotten high around Haley, maybe one day I will. Not anytime soon though, so the following will be a letter to Haley Mahoney.

Haley, I care about you like I would care about my own sister, or as much as I care for John. There are a few things I've been wanting to get off of my chest though. I met you 7 months ago, at first you were just another person in my theatre class. Soon after the film projects started I had gotten to know you, and I concidered you a friend shortly afterwards. Thanks to your magnetic personality you went from just a friend, to an object of desire. John knows I have talked more about you then myself since we've met. I guess that thing sort of happens. Anyways, a couple months back, we had a conversation at the playground on the sound about some things, I won't name them here because this is in public viewing. What I got from the conversation though was that you didn't really like what you were doing and wanted to stop. Well, over that past year, I have watched my grandmother die slowly because of cancer. Lung cancer is caused by smoking cigarettes, and also pot. I guess what I'm saying is, I don't want to see anybody suffer like that ever again, it was the most terrible thing I've ever seen. I know that your prolly not interested in what I have to say, or anybody else reading this for that matter. I've seen what stuff like that can do to people, living and dead, and I would hate for anything to happen to you. I don't have any problems with pot, every once in a while, but when somebody's life revolves around it, I can't stand to watch the outcome. I would tell this to any of my friends, it also pisses me off that a close friend of mine Shannon, has picked up the tobacco stick, or when any of my friends (especially the females ones) do anything to degrade themselves and make themselves look cheap.

I love all my friends very much, and would do anything for any of them. They all know that, I care about my friends more then myself. I would just hate to see anything happen to you in the future...
