all the lonely people, where do they all come from?

Make a wish.

It's remarkable, people. Really. I just find it incredible how relationships and interactions work. At Relay last night, I spent some time with AJ and Jeremy. The way they interacted was just, I don't know, but I loved it. It's obvious that they love each other, although guys don't say that. They reminded me of me and Sarah. Incredibly comfortable, and able to think on the same wavelength. I was told a beautifully amusing story about Ben, starting with version 1.0 up to 7.0. ("Ben 6.0? We don't talk about Ben 6.0.") And how they had it all worked out, and it was just one of those things that to see them put my soul at ease, in the same way that when I saw that couple. Which is another story I am about to indulge in.

One time, I was in Disney World, which, to be frank, is not my favorite place. I hadn't had the best of days since it had been a long day and one can only tolerate the family for so long. I was tired and exhausted (I'd had dance conventions all week as well) and just wanted to be alone and asleep. Now, in Disney World, there are these little rocks scattered around that emit music, so that you're perpetually surrounded by the musical "wonder" that is Disney. I believe that at the time, the theme from Beauty and the Beast was playing. An old couple came up to the bus stop where we were waiting. They were holding hands (which always makes me happy) and laughing about something. They leaned into each other to talk, as if they were teenagers confessing love just to each other. It was beautiful and then he stepped away from her for a minute to twirl her before gathering her in his arms and they began to dance. They both moved comfortably as if they were one being, as if it had been planned, although the delight on both their faces gave away the true spontenaity of the situation. He twirled her out again and she laughed up to the stars. When the song ended, he kissed her cheek, and they walked away with their arms around each others' waists. Their love made me totally forget everything, but that there was love. I felt pure and clean inside, as if an angel had kissed my soul. Watching them made me fall in love with life, and I realized that I want to be like that when I grow up. The next time someone asks me what I want to be when I grow up, I'm going to say "In love."

In any case, I just think it's fascinating the way people interact with each other. I'm referring to good positive interactions between lovers and friends, not the mean kind because I believe in the endurance of love, not hate. At Relay, Sarah sent me a singing telegram. I didn't know what was happening at the time, but she came up to me, hugged me, and then began to sing to me. She does this periodically and as she sang "You Raise Me Up" I simply looked at her and grinned with love. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Jeremy glance over and ask AJ what was going on, to which he responded with some typical boy comment like "I dunno, but I've got an open mind and a camera, so it's all good..." but I knew he understood. And it was a beautiful moment, with the girl I love singing to me. :)

I'll probably continue this post later, but for now, I must go watch Harry Potter! *Giggles*

sqt a palooza.

The Movie Of Your Life Is An Indie Flick

You do things your own way - and it's made for colorful times. Your life hasn't turned out how anyone expected, thank goodness! Your best movie matches: Clerks, Garden State, Napoleon Dynamite

If Your Life Was a Movie, What Genre Would It Be?

You Are a Newborn Soul

You are tolerant, accepting, and willing to give anyone a chance. On the flip side, you're easy to read and easily influenced by others. You have a fresh perspective on life, and you can be very creative. Noconformist and nontraditional, you've never met anyone who's like you. Inventive and artistic, you like to be a trendsetter. You have an upbeat spirit and you like almost everything. You make friends easily and often have long standing friendships. Implusive and trusting, you fall in love a little too easily. Souls you are most compatible with: Bright Star Soul and Dreaming Soul

What Kind of Soul Are You?

Your Love Element Is Earth

In love, you have consistency and integrity. For you, love is all about staying grounded and centered. You attract others with your zest for life and experiences. Your flirting style is defined by setting the scene, creating a unique moment in time. Steady progress and stability are the cornerstones of your love life. You may take things too slowly, but you never put your heart at risk. You connect best with: Fire Avoid: Wood You and another Earth element: need each other too much to build a good foundation

Evolutionarily, the chicken came first. It had to.

In all honesty, I have absolutely nothing to report right now, but writing here makes me feel good, so I'm going to. Especially 'cuz I'm not doing my homework.

Actually, I don't really have any interesting thoughts to record either. Other than that I had an orange, so I know I won't get scurvy. Not today at least. Maybe tomorrow.

It is presently 84 degrees and 100% humidity. A little rough, very wet. Sleeping tonight will be a BLAST. (Hm. I wonder if my room is soaking wet from the storm. I bet it is.)

So I was thinking (OH FINALLY thoughts to record) about leaving for college and how that's gonna sorta suck. I mean, it'll be great, but I am really not looking forward to leaving my friends and..yes, of course, my dear. I've decided that we will have to go to our field, since that was (make a wish) our first date. And it's just fun to play in 'cuz it's open and big and then we can look at the stars. Yesterday we fell asleep cuddling and I was sooo comfy. He twitches like I do when I fall asleep which I think is really cute. And our feet were touching. :) I don't know why, but I think it's one of the most intimate and sweet things to have bare feet touching.

I also can't wait for school to get out so I can spend people time. Ie: not end up communicating with friends primarily through short broken conversations or emails. Nope! Long walks on the beach with Sarah, long walks through the mall with Kristyn...heh, heh. But it'll be nice to just be able to play, you know?

Heh, it's silly 'cuz I'm writing to myself, so of COURSE I know. But "you know" just emphasizes a statement in a way that's utterly irresistable.

BTW: Goal of tomorrow: Use pulchritudinous in a sentence. (Pulchritudinous is roughly equal to beautiful.)
