Seriously. I have the best friends EVER. Today was a good day.
So, I'm nineteen now. I don't feel terribly old because, in the grand scheme of things, I'm not. Anyway, I opened the presents my family sent which included clothes from L.L. Bean (not as nerdy as it sounds - a snuggly, purple hoodie and blue knit sweater), messenger bag from said company, money from grandparents, a framed front page of the New York Times of Obama's election, and pink One-Star Converse from the sissy. I christened the Converse on a photo assignment at the Fraze. I met some awesome people, including this adorable old couple (I'm assuming they were a couple - I honestly don't know), and I kept running into them (The Fraze isn't a big place, granted) and chatting. It wasn't my greatest shoot, but I don't really care. It was my flippin' birthday, and I got to do what I love and see my lovely friends. I received many phone calls throughout the day, and it was great to talk to everyone. I have many posts and texts to respond to as well. I had no idea that many people cared!
After all that craziness, I picked up Gina for our girls' night, while Hannah was going to come a bit later after work. They brought the cake they stayed up till all hours finishing, and it was delicious. I plan on having some of it for breakfast. We gabbed, spazzed, and laughed. Every time we get together, Gina mentions how giggly she gets with us, and it makes me sad that we can't do this more often. Damn you, inconvenient living arrangements! Since I fail, I forgot to pick up movies from the library, so we journeyed to Family Video. Two movies later (The Strangers and Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist), Hannah had to have her UDF peach soft-serve. Two UDF locations later, success! We sat outside like creepers because she couldn't drive and eat it (shocking, I know). On the way back, I had to duplicate my (supposedly) epic chair-dancing to Michael Jackson's "Black and White." More laughter and ridiculousness. We watched the movies, and it was glorious. I love these girls so much. I've known them since I was in pre-school. There's been some friendship rebuilding because I haven't seen Gina in far too long, but it's one of those things that's easy to fall back into. I am so grateful to have such great friends, especially after all this time. How often does that happen? We were practically attached at the hip during elementary school, and then I drifted some after leaving St. Al's, and then I moved 1,200 miles away. I'm kicking myself for not doing this sooner. Oh, well. I get annoyed and stuff doesn't happen. I think I've learned my lesson. I've known this lovely ladies for 14-15 years; I can't stay mad long.
Gah, I love all my friends so much (family goes without saying, haha). I like Emily's idea of having all your favorite people in one place. I've been wanting that since I moved away. Now I have three places I call home. It's so awful sometimes. I'm too happy right now to dwell on that.
What? A happy entry? I didn't know that could happen.
