life
On Monday I was eating dinner with Mike and Ben, and then Robert came over and ate with us, and as we were sitting there I realized it was just easy to be friends. I don't know how to explain it, that now I don't have to take responsibility for him or something. He isn't mine anymore, we are just two people and I can do my thing and he can do his... and I don't need a greater connection. And we ate lunch and dinner yesterday too, and that's how I felt THE WHOLE TIME. As Aretha Franklin once sang "Freedom, freedom, freedom..."
Not that I don't still miss having someone to cuddle with and give me back rubs and all of that. But I miss it less, and it hurts less. A lot less. Hardly at all.
It was sad, though, Jessie and I were trying to think of happy couples we know:
1. Joe and Ashley
2. John and Jolene
3. Amy and Dave
4. ummm? yep everyone is breaking up. Apparently there is something about sophomore year...
On a sidenote: Andrew stuck my face in his armpit last night and wouldn't let go. Jerk. But he was right, it didn't smell.
Sidenote #2: I love Jill's nose stud.
Sidenote #3: I have psychic powers and can tell Sharon where her stuff is without even knowing what she's talking about.
