As you read this title, imagine I'm in the bathroom. 'Cuz that's where I am.
Today... was just simply amazing.
Despite the fact that i had to wake up at 8am on the first day of Christmas vacation, work went very well today. All I did was move boxed ornaments to a new location, made tags, checked out some people, and that was really it. So the 8 hour day went very, very fast, essentially.
After work, I went home and I snagged some dinner for about an hour, and then went over to Becky's to go to Luke's. We started out by playing Bingo, I guess... and then Kelsey, Becky, Collin & I went to the park across the street from Luke's. We had some fun there talking about Gwen and Lee, and such like that. However, when I was on the pier with Kelsey looking out onto Lake Monona I wanted to make out with her so bad. I guess that everyone had strong hormones tonight because Gwen and Lee almost... yeah.
However, around 9:15 Collin, Kelsey, Becky and I decided to run to Walmart. Oh boy. We went in there for a little while and I only found one gift for Laura, and then we decided to go to Border's. I got my mom a what looks like a great book, and then got myself a real cappuccino. It was very, very coffee based and I enjoyed it a lot, which might explain why I'm so hyper right now.
After that, we broke, Becky and I went to Michaels for a little while to harass my staff, and then I dropped Becky off at home. On my way to Kelsey's, however, I had the most stunning revelation.
I love my life. There's so much shit that's gone on in the past year and a half with me moving here, and I can finally say that I love my hometown. Moving around has been so tough on me and missing Eau Claire doesn't help me get adjusted at all. I guess that I just thought that I couldn't have the same fun with my friends that I have in Eau Claire that I do in Madison. I realized that every day of my life that I'm completely happy that I live here and that I have some of the most amazing friends in the world.
I guess I realized this when I was driving home on Highway 30. Almost two years ago, I was a loner who had just began going to East. I had no friends, no direction, no nothing. I hated my life and I hated myself and my family and NES and generally tried to blame every problem I had on someone else. My mom wasn't much help and all she'd really said was "get over it. MAKE FRIENDS." You know, making friends is fucking hard and it takes a lot of work. She tried to make me become friends with people that I could tell sucked right away (coincidentally the same people that broke into my car that one night). Two years ago, I had no job, no car, no sense of direction, no friends, no fucking nothing.
Then one day, I met someone, and my life changed.
I want to apologize to everyone I've hurt in the past few months. I've been acting like a real jackass about the missing Eau Claire thing. I have the right to miss my old home but missing it is pretty much all I can do since it won't take me back there. I want you to know that I love you and that you are my best friend. I respect you so much and I want to thank you for being my friend. It takes time to make friends and I'm glad that you gave me a chance. You put a smile on my face each and every single day.
(Daisy is really fucking itchy. Poor girl.)
If you're wondering who "you" is, it's you. You, the reader. Thank you for helping me adjust. Thank you for letting me into your circle of friends. Thank you for taking a chance on someone from a completely different style of community. Just... thanks for everything.
I love you. I hope you love me too.
