Hello, livejournal. I haven't seen you in a while.
Its the end of february vacation, which is always depressing. But I have a feeling the rest of the year will fly by.
The weirdest thing EVER basically happened to me over break. It's actually not that weird, its actually quite ordinary, but strange to me in its ordinariness.So this break I was really looking forward to a change of scenes, to getting away from the the confinements of school/work/town/home. To be honest, i was actually eager even to spend some time apart from the people who i see every single day. but then it was SO weird, because i realized that i hadn't wanted to leave, even for those few days i was gone. It sounds weird only because it sounds so blatantly obvious, but i actually think i truly missed all of my friends for the first time. On other vacations or breaks or whatever i have always been like "ohh i wonder what they are doing" or "ahh i wish i was with them" but it really didn't make that much of a difference. This vacation, i couldn't stop laughing to myself about random things we've done the past couple of weekends or even about the jokes we share with each other in class.
And it was the little things i kept remembering. It was screaming natasha bedingfield songs, slipping on ice while tyring to make dramatic exits, doing karaoke to 'where my girls at' (twice). Its rides home from school,the time spent in new haven, the diamonds on my neck, the old taking back sunday, the g-rants, the luleks, toads place like whatt. Its about asking a religion teacher why she doesn't love us, getting hair dyed by leete and then drinking, wonderful... valentines day complete with our ever-rageful dates brand new and senses fail, + the $ 9.00 priceless purchase. ahh its so much, its the embarassing dance parties on the beach at block island at night, after passing out at 2 in the afternooon, its about DANCE PARTY 2006 which is brought out wherever we go. Its the jetta, its grace, its the white wonder. Its all about the "OKkkkk.." and the "delicious." Its asking for fresh mozarella at a japanese restaurant, always going to the guilford/madison thanksgiving day football game but never staying becuase we really dont care that much. It includes laughing about BJ giving me a creme saver, or planning out the infamous netherlands 07 trip. Its about being a second semester senior in gym class, and sharing clothes and saying "NO" when someone asks you for a ride home at 7 o'clock in the morning but then recovering by saying "ohh, no.. i meant, 'Now?'" Its coconut coffees, chinese food, purple teeth, debating whether riley fischer is cuter than riley walsh, getting kicked out of parties, reciting 1 corinithians 13, calling friends at 3 am and asking if they knew that McDonalds served breakfastt that time, making weird noises at the back of media class, beeping at elderly people when you want to say 'hello'. Its about new years 2006. Its about 2006 in general.
This sudden explosion is weird, isnt it? But truthfully all i kept thinking about over vacation was how much i wanted to be home, to spend time with my friends, to just blow though our weekdays and plan our weekends. In the airports my sister commented on how funny it would be if someone stood by the door singing neil diamond's "they're coming to america" to welcome all the arriving planes of people. I couldn't help but think that THAT would something we would all do, without question. and it would be hilarious, even if only to us.
I dont even know how to close this entry, to end it, because i feel like i can write so much more. But i also have the feeling that, during the rest of our time together- we'll be able to fill in the blanks.
loveyou.
