WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD...

May 26, 2005 21:17

Life, as of late, has been nothing short of beautiful. With everything from Bukowski literature, to surprise phone calls, prom nights with beautiful friend, and stunning friends, to lunch dates with your sister, to picnics with old friends and rendez-vous with old and new...Everything is amazing. And I'm actually really proud of myself for being able to step back and take notice to the things going on around me.

Prom was almost two weeks ago. It was wonderful. I went with the stunning, Miss Lauren Robbiani. We both were knock-outs, and I'm not afraid to admit it. We arrived two hours late...(it took more than an hour just to straighten my unruly 80's hair) but it was worth it. We danced and laughed, and sang to each other "I will remember you" for out last dance of the night. My friends looked stunning. The ladies and the gents...it was right out of a movie. Poofy cinderella dresses and tiaras and flowers and then...me in my short black and turquoise dress with fishnets and black pumps. And Lauren looked straight out of the fifties...it was an awesome sight to see, believe me. (I'll post a few pictures in a moment if I can figure out how not to screw it up.)

Christy Chaffin called me for the first time about a week ago, and she reminded me, yet again, what's so amazing about people from Georgia. (I love you Miss Chaffin!)

I've realized that I'm half-way in love. It's not a crush and it's not a romance, it's me coming to the realization that I have one of the most amazing boys ever in my life, and one day, we've both agreed, that we're going to be together. I've known him since I was six, and when we were little, he'd ask me to be his girlfriend at least twice a week. And now we're back to that part where we're best friends...and we're in love with each other. Not like, in love as a couple, but I'm in love with the person that he is, and he's in love with the person that I am, despite being each other's complete opposite. We sit in Physics class, joking about the day that we're going to marry each other. Marry each other, have a sweet, sweet life together, with out kids running around. We even have names picked out. Okay, only names for girls...but it's a start. Want to hear the names? Sure you do. Ah-hem. Presley. Saylor. & Mackenzie. I picked out Presley and Saylor, and he picked out Mackenzie. (There has to be at least a little compromise, I suppose?) I know you must be thinking I'm crazy...and I am. But this is all just fun right now. This is us getting to know each other again and holding hands as best friends. This is beautiful.

I've visited Sarah and Wes a few times, and it's been so nice. I love those two with all my heart.

(But I miss Lindsay.)

I've been hanging out with Kate a lot. And that's important to me. We're good for each other. Last Sunday, we took a drive to Catskill, to visit Lauren, and we ended up hanging out with her, her friend Erika, and going to ONLY THE BEST coffee shop in CoCo, The Muddy Cup. There, we met up with my friend Caitlin, (Lauren introduced us about ten months ago..) And I hadn't seen her in almost nine months, so it was AMAZING to see her. And then...Bob, my best friend from when I was in ninth grade walked in with his boyfriend and I was so happy. We embraced, sipped on our coffee shakes, and planned a picnic for this Sunday. Things are amazing.

Today...for the weirdest event ever...

I hung out with Michael Morabito, Sarah's little brother. (Sarah's my best friend. In the world.) I saw him, and two of his friends walking around Hudson as I was going to get my pictures developed at CVS. And the four of us left together, and drove to Shane's house. It was oddly...awesome. Her whole family is.

And I just got home from having dinner with my sister. I love life. Right now, everything is so good, and it's so vividly clear to me how blessed I am.

And now I leave you with some photos.
