Feel free to ignore this. I'm not kidding. You probably won't care about this. It's just that... Has a little thing ever made you so happy, you just want to do something because it felt so great, and you just want to express it, and-hm... That... that sort of feeling. Hee. <3
You know, sometimes I can't help but feel really, really blessed. I have a loving family, a laptop which gives me access to all of the fandom-y things I could ever wish for, and I have really wonderful friends.
Yes, that's right. It seems that lately all I ever talk about on here is my life, and it looks like I'm going to be continuing the tend. xP
Yesterday I got a text from my best friend in real life. In true Kiuolo fashion (what is it with me and phones?), I didn't even notice it until sometime later. Feeling mildly embarrassed as I looked at the time it had been sent, I opened it and read the simple message, "Check your facebook".
Now, I never get on my Facebook. I get on it about once every two blue moons, if we're going to be totally honest here. I don't hate it or anything, but I think there's much, much more interesting things one can do on the internet. But my friends seem to enjoy it, so when they make requests like that I don't mind checking it. Thinking she was just annoyed that I hadn't poked her back for three months or something, I looked at it and noticed that she had written on my wall, or whatever that is. I guess on Tumblr (...another site I don't get on orz) there's something called 'One Piece Confessions.' The message said she had sent in a picture, and she linked me to it saying she wanted me to see it. And you know what? This was the picture:
And just like that, my heart melted into a puddle of sugary goo.
I don't know why it hit me so hard. She's always saying how we're best friends, and we did meet through One Piece. It was back in middle school, and she terrified me by asking to sit next to me in our science class. I'd doodled the names 'Nami' and 'Zolo' on my class schedule sheet (I wanted to write the names of the rest of the crew, but I hadn't the slightest clue how to spell names like 'Luffy,' 'Usopp,' and 'Sanji'), she looked over, saw it before I could properly hide it, and then proceeded to inform me that I was wrong and that his name was actually 'Zoro.'
I was immediately turned into a stammering, embarrassed, confused mess and we've been friends ever since. xD Huzzah.
So, I don't know. This just made me so happy, I felt compelled to share. It almost seems like I'm bragging, huh? I'm sorry...
Maybe this impacted me because it's harder for me to see her now. She's in Oklahoma attending college, and while I see her on the weekends sometimes it more difficult... But to know something like that hasn't changed, I just... Yeah. =D
If you read through this all, thanks. I don't know why you wasted the time, but thanks. x) I need to get back into the habit of blogging.
