Something

Tonight I bundled up in my knee-length peacoat and scarf, plugged Backseat Goodbye and The Morning Of into my ipod, and went out to meet a friend for a 12:30 am walk. He goes to college a good 6 hours away from the tiny, tiny town that we call home, so I don't get to see him much. Much like everyone else whose gone away, I miss him terribly.
Our walk crossed the boundaries of three towns, until we almost became lost and we had to scurry back to the only road we recognized, which was completely dark so it could barely be seen. Some would have considered this an adventure. But I openly admitted to my friend that if we had taken three more seconds than necessary to find our way back, I probably would have imploded and turned to ash. This would have complicated his lone journey home, because between you and me, I'm pretty sure he had no idea where we were.
This weekend included a lot of seeing people who I haven't seen in a long time. Because it was a holiday weekend, many campuses either closed or the students emptied out of them anyway. Because of this, we were all in the same place for once. Wednesday and Friday were competely dedicated to hanging with the guys- Topher, Cyborg, Dirk, AJ, DH, Njsnow, and Jereality (Note: Jereality is very much female, but neither she nor I are considered to have a gender when we hang out with this group). A lot of the time was spent lounging on chairs and couches, ordering take out, and telling stories about our campuses and remembering the crazy things we've all done to one another. Today I went out with an old friend who graduated High School the year before I did (he's also an ex of mine, so we haven't spoken much). We went to see a film and then drove around in his car for about two hours swapping stories. Now that I think about it, I've had an incredibly chatty day.
I'm home for another two days, after which I will return to my campus in what will probably be an internetless state. Because most of my friends are returning to their colleges tomorrow, Sunday and Monday will be a great deal more relaxed than these past few days have been.
I feel lucky that I've been able to spend so much time with the people that I care about. High School was a painful time for me, in that many of the people I surrounded myself with were not actually my friends. They openly had no desire for my company, and vice versa. To be able to come home now, and feel more than ever that I actually belong with a group of people, is a new and amazing feeling.
In the interest of finishing this entry, I'm posting it as-is. I'm going to start a new type of entry tomorrow or the next day where I basically "Word vomit" onto blogger. Maybe then I'd actually express something, instead of just talking about unimporant things like how I feel and my happiness. -sigh-.
