Hi, my name is Gemma. I've just discovered youtube and, there seems
to be a lot of people on here.
Bree, I'm not
sure if you remember me, but I'm pretty sure you
remember my dog.
I know she looks
a little frail but you used to come over and
play with her all the time, you guys were like inseparable ,like best friends or something.
Something else you might remember is...uh, I, I taught you
this game. In america you guys like to call it "rock-paper-scissors"
, but here on this side of the world we tend to have a different version, it's "squirrel", "nut", "man"
. Man with nut allergy kills squirrel, squirrel eats nut, nut kills
man. It's kinda like that continuous cycle.
If you remember me, then ...as I just feel like a rubbish person in here. So Bree, I live in London, my parents
still live in a community, um, I kind just wanted to branch off from
things, I'm going
to university now, um, it looks like when I graduate I could be
getting … if I keep on track.
Bree, I'm really sorry to see
that things seem difficult for you right now and, with
regard to you and Daniel , I've experienced it. It's very difficult to let
outsiders understand everything and, I personally can't
deal with that, so I guess that's why I moved to
London.
Well Bree, it's nice to see
that you're all growing up. Take care. See you.
