S'more Alpha Psi Omega Please!

Last night, Alpha Psi Omega held their first meet and greet of the year. We went into Harvey Stone park, made s'mores, and told some freaking crazy ghost stories. I can't begin to tell you the amount of fun I have with this family. I laugh so hard and feel so loved among this group who understands my passion for what I do. And WHAT. A. TURNOUT! Obviously, some people just went for fun. But the idea of having so many potential new members this year is amazing. Seriously, I'm so glad that the event was a success. And here's to the awesome new freshmen who are getting involved!

Afterwards, I couldn't sleep. I don't exactly have a fear of ghosts, but more so a fear of my own brain. I overthink and dwell until I psych myself out. So Jonathan was kind enough to skype with me and distract me so I'd be okay going to sleep :)

Now I am home. And my door is blue. Along with our shutters. It reminds me of happy things <3

Sleepless in McDaniel

I'm not clever. Like really. Sammy, stop.

Poor little Alex couldn't sleep last night. So we were texting for a while and he decided that one solution would be a phone call. So I walked out into our lounge and, from 2AM to 3AM, we just talked on the phone. Maybe not the smartest idea for someone who had class, but considering I don't feel that tired and, if I care to, I can still take a 2 hour nap before class, I'm not that bothered by my decision. It was nice, definitely. Catching up, seeing where he was. We were able to talk about some serious stuff, which is usually me begging for help in my latest heartbreak or some nonsense. But this time it was really a conversation. I felt like I actually had imput, which he noted, asking when I'd gotten so smart haha. Don't know that it's a matter of smart. It's a matter of people skills I suppose. Anyway, it was just nice to know someone missed me. I don't get that from the boys a lot lately. We're all just so busy with our lives, it's hard to go back and talk to everyone that often. So those moments are always so wonderful, even at 2AM.

Completely unrelated: This song has grown on me. Ugh. Cannot resist techno.

 

You Are The Angel

I think I've figured it out. The reason why Hector and I have always been able to have 3 hour long conversations without ever experiencing a dull moment. He does A LOT of the talking XD

But in all seriousness. Every time he calls it brightens my day. Reconnecting with an old friend. Sharing our struggles and our successes. And it doesn't hurt that he always has something nice to say about me haha. The title is lyrics from one of his songs which was slightly relevant in our conversation today. He is someone I definitely wish I could see again.

I guess I have a thing for friends in faraway places.

Bat In the Bushes

I will never understand how John works. Our favorite thing to do is basically whine about people, or rather our inability to have people in our lives romantically. John does this a lot. Like a lot a lot. It makes me laugh. I seriously have no problem listening to him vent! I agree with a lot of what he says, and it makes me feel good that he cares about my opinion. Besides, with John? Never a dull moment. But last night, after talking for a while, he decided THE ONLY WAY HE COULD REPAY THE DEBT is to have me mope and whine for a while. I wasn't aware he was in debt. But he insisted. So I got to have a little fit. It was just nice having him listen. And I realized how much he care about me as a friend. He, not even jokingly, was ready to give some of my exs a mouthful, or a bat to the face. Which, as I told him, IS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. AND ALSO ILLEGAL. MOSTLY UNNECESSARY. But still, it felt nice to see that he wasn't just bored by my whining, he actually cared and wanted to make sure I was happy. He said "the difference between you and me is you actually deserve to find somebody". As much of a fool as this kid is, he deserves it, too. Maybe more.

Never Making Promises

Reason 226: Ever get just so filled with emotion that you have to sob? Like, not sad tears or happy tears or proud tears. Just let it all out and breathe tears. Yeah, I like those. They feel great, and so relieving and comforting. You know what the best part of a show is? When all the little subplots finally connect and EVERYBODY finally knows EVERYTHING and uses all that knowledge to get to a solution. So it is with life. Getting generic answers is useful, but only for a time. Finally knowing 100% exactly the path you need to take? It's enough to make you cry :)

#TeamEvan

Reason 113: It's a thing! Staying up til.. 6 in the morning? To talk to a kid named Evan. Not my "brother" Evan aka our dear friend from middle school, but Jess' suitor Evan. Who is a total sweetheart, very funny, relaxed, easy to talk to, and (most importantly) cares deeply for Jess. I'm glad honestly. I know she doesn't need a guy to be happy and that this could very well be nothing. But I'm glad that, after the jerk that just messed her up, there's someone in her life that will take good care of her, respect her, and (more importantly) be the friend she needs. Hooray for the good guys.

Happy 84th Birthday to our dear friend, Mickey Mouse <3

Part 2 Of My Confessions

Reason 50: So part 4? Yeah, more and more likely. But I have stuff to tell you. Basically, it makes Part 4 a lot better. A lot sweeter. This weekend was wonderful. Part 4 was just the marshmallow fondant on the blue velvet cake :)

  

PS: This song reminds me of running laps in the LMS gym.
