To My Beautiful Friends

So, my spring break was... in short sucky. I had my wisdom teeth out, and I still can't eat solid food, really, which is annoying. Not saying I haven't tried. It just hurts. Really badly. My week was filled with a lot of awkward encounters, and not the good kind. But, being me, life is just awkward. You think I'd be used to that.

In order to fix my awkward and boring excuse for a spring break, however, I went to Greeley this weekend. I know right? Greeley is not exactly the kind of place you go for a good time. But while I was there I realized, I have some of the best friends in the entire world. Even the ones I just met are willing to go out of their way for me and I am so thankful for that. It's sad when you DON'T want to leave Greeley... but the people there are amazing, and I must also add, crazy talented. I feel the need right now to give special shout outs to the friends that I am crazy in love with right now.

To my friend whom I have known since childhood, I wish you the best of luck on your future in Chicago. I know you will be fantastic and I will see your name in lights one day. You are beautiful and deserve every bit of it.

To my beautiful best friend, I don't know where I'd be without you. Seriously. Your art is also amazing even though you don't think it is. You're absolutely amazing and have introduced me to your awesome friends and boyfriend whom I love being around. Thank you for having a boyfriend I actually get along with so I don't have to murder you ;) That being said, I'd like to thank said friends and boyfriend for being awesome and accepting me for who I am and going out of their way for me even though they don't have to in the slightest.

To the friend who rocked his play last night, you are amazing and I love you and I'm soooo glad I got to see it. I better be seeing more of you soon. And the only reason I was able to marvel at your talent (and sexiness) was because of the above mentioned people, so mad props to them.

Also, last but not least, I must thank the friend who always lets me crash at her place at the last minute. You are the most hospitable of people and your kindness always astounds me.

So now that I have been sufficiently cheesy and emotional, I'd like to leave you with this bit of advice. Choose your friends wisely. I was extremely fortunate to find such amazing people to share my life with. And really, I didn't find them. They found me. And I guess this blog post is just to certify that I realize how blessed I am and express my gratitude. :)

Talking for the Sake of Talking

So.... Here I am. On the interwebs for everyone to see. Not that anyone will particularly want to read this. It's just a bunch of rubbish. But anyone who knows me, knows that I could talk for decades and never get bored. So here is my contribution to the blogging world. A friend of mine convinced me to do it, and he assured me that this is mainly for me. A personal journal for myself - that happens to be out on the internet for anyone to read. The idea intrigues me, however, considering I secretly (or maybe not so secretly) enjoy the attention.

If you're still reading this, I'm mildly surprised. I suppose I should talk about something... like a topic maybe? What's bothering me today is mainly my inability to say no. Not to super important, dangerous things like drugs or rape... I can say no to those, don't worry... But I'm a notorious people-pleaser. It was my New Year's Resolution to try not to please others so much. I'm not doing a very good job at it. I try way too hard to make everyone else happy. But really, making people happy is what makes me happy so... does that work? If I can make others happy while making myself happy isn't that a good thing? Killing two birds with one stone, and I like efficiency. Putting others before myself shouldn't bother me so much but it gets to the point where I worry way too much about what everyone else feels that I ignore my own feelings and then I'm exhausted. So from here on out I will try a lot harder to please myself once in a while. It will make me happier in the end.

In other news, I can't be happier that it's spring break. Even though my break isn't going to be very "breaky" after tomorrow considering I'm getting my 4 wisdom teeth out and then Thursday I have what could be the most awkward doctor's appointment of my life. It sucks getting old - just throwing that out there. So today I'm going to enjoy the last pain-free day of my break and bake some delicious banana bread and then hang out with my future roomies tonight :) Everyone have a wonderful day, sorry for wasting your time.
