I was considerably lucky this weekend in that I got to see many friends who I haven't seen in a long time, and meet people who turned out to be very interesting additions to my experiences. It began on Thursday night, when I took a train to a college mid-state to see my friend JC and some of the other girls who live in the building. I had met many of them before when I stayed overnight in October. The night was full of talking and joking around and eating chinese. The girls from the building trickled into the room one by one, and I was able to spend time getting to know each of them. Of course, I am a rather awkward individual who gives a less than wonderful first impression at times, so a few of the girls may not have loved me, but there were a few who I had a lot in common with and two of the girls who I had known before, K and Anne, were amazing to see and laugh with. As silly as it may sound, the energy in the building is filled with a lot of fun and love and care, which was nice to experience, considering my own dorming situation is so stressed and terrible.
Of course, I briefly saw Wyoming and Daytona on Friday night. I miss them both during the week when I'm not around (escpecially Wyoming) so its always nice to see them. I swear, the two of them keep me mature. Particularly since Wyoming and I got into a tiny disagreement on Saturday and after talking for a bit we were able to blow past it and at least apologize to one another. This is more than I can say for my relationships with most other people, so I'm always grateful when I have a relationship where this sort of communication can exist.
Then on Saturday night I got in contact with an old friend, Fiddles (I will obviously have to do a Friends Cast part II, to introduce the new names). She's the awesomest gal who I unfortunately have never gotten to see anywhere near as often as I'd like to. Generally, we see each other every six months and talk occasionally in-between. But last night we were both semi-free, and had a marathon hangout for hours and hours. We got some Shamrock Shakes and talked for a bit before going to my ex boyfriend BW's house. There was a big group of people there too, most of whom I haven't seen since they graduated or moved to other states. It was a fun night overall.
Later today I'm getting together with BW to hang out, because we've been talking a bit more over the last week or so. I feel really lucky and grateful that this weekend will be filled with so many friends and good times. It'll definately carry me through the week and past next weekend, since I am stuck at my college for a little bit longer than I generally care to be.
Best wishes for a wonderful week ahead!
