Just FriendsMy first year of college at SFU is officially over. Wow. woW. wOw. WOW. wow. I can't believe how old I'm getting. Pretty soon I'll be baking cookies and knitting. Oh wait, I do do that. It's official, I'm 70. I may look 19... but I'm 70 at heart. Hehe.. no for real I just want to stay young at heart. Just like that old song. I never want to be older than like 7 in the way I think. I mean, not necessarily my maturity level, but in terms of being carefree and innocent. So anyway....
My activities since school has been out... I spent a lovely weekend chillin at the beach with my roomie at the Jersey Shore as soon as we finished our last finals. We were quite a site headin to the beach with my little car totally crammed full of Shanny's stuff, in cluding a roof rack thing. It was an amazing trip. I love that girl to death and totally miss her now that we don't sleep in the same room and share our late night chit chats about nothing and everything. I miss her. Sigh. It's okay, I'm visiting her in like July, and she's promised to def. come visit me too. Until then... we'll have to work on our tans by ourselves and miss each other like whoa.
Hmm.. I've been working. A lot. Pretty much full time. I don't mind it though. I need the money. A lot. Pretty much all the time. Hehehe. Besides, it's during hte day when there is no one free anyway.
Last night Macy and I went mini-golfin and hung out. we probably had about the weirdest experience ever.. i have this fear of car washes.. and I dont feel like writing all about it right now..because that is not the soap box i would like to mount today.. but i have a fear of car washes.. i tried to conquer it.. and it bit me in the butt.. again.
Friday night I went to prom with Ben Mingle. It was a heck of a lot of fun! That kid makes me laugh so much. We didn't do the big poofy dress and tux prom thing.. we just went real casual. It was better that way, we were both totally comfortable, and we still had cash in our pockets since neither of us spent over like. $50. Nice nice. The coolest part about the night was probably the car we drove.. a 6 speed Nissan Maxima. Oh man.. talk about a hot car. it was probably one of the funnest cars I ever rode in. The power in it was amazing. we had to play around with it a little o the way home... cars like that were made to be driven fast. We went to eat with a group of people before hand... danced the night away at the prom... then went back to Devon's house afterward. That was a lot of fun too. We sat around a campfire for a while, then Ben and I went downstairs and played DDR together for a while. we finished the night off with like 3 hours of conversation. That was pretty incredible too..and brings me to the title of this entry.....
Just Friends. I've been thinking a lot about that phrase lately.. I think the word "Just" is totally out of place in front of the word "friend." My friends are invaluable to me. Sitting, talking, and joking about nothing and everything for hours is probably one of my favorite activities. All night at prom Ben and I were telling people we were "just good friends." While that needed to be said in order to curb any rumors... I didnt like that phrase. I've told people Ben and I are "just good friends." Chad and I are "just good friends." Nate and i are "just good friends." What the heck is the word "just" there for? Some of the best relationships I've ever had are labeled or have been labeled "just friends" at some point of another. I love my "just friends" a lot lot lot. So.. this entry goes out to those who I've called that at one point or another.. specifically... Trev, Nater, Ben Mingle, Chad, Vincent, Carlos, Patrick, and Adam. You are all totally amazing people..
From now on I would appreciate it if people weren't like "oh we're just friends." More like "WE'RE FRIENDS!!!!!" Friendship is one of the greatest gifts of all, it's the foundation of a good relationship and a building block of the fundamental reason for living.. Love. Appreciate your "just friends" becuase they're probably some of the best people in your life. 
I dont think that described what i was trying to say very well.. so basically.. I love my friends.. whole bunches.. girls.. guys.. whatever.. |
