So once upon a time there was this boy. Let's call him...I dunno...Robin (his actual name will be withheld for his safety from castration by Shelby and various other loyal friends of mine.) And he's a great kid! He's a wonderful Son of God. I have forgiven him, right? So I thought it'd be smart to go to his farewell to like show to him that I still care about our friendship. And plus...I thought it'd be a nice chance for me to have some fun...take some revenge per se. And at first, I thought I wouldn't have the guts to even go talk to him. But I knew I had to. Plus, I had gotten all ready and felt SMOKIN'...even though that seems rather unimportant, looking good was my first metaphorical slap to his face. So I said a prayer and all the sudden I was given peace and strength. After his talk I gave him a hug and said he did great and then in my mind I was like: "I'm gonna milk this for all it's worth!" Here's the play-by-play of what came next:
Me: So did you get my message? (ps I had left him a message a couple weeks ago...just giving him a chance to man up...he didn't take it.)
Robin: (He is completely speechless and then he manages to mutter:) Yes....I'm sorry I'm a coward I know.
Me: Yeeeeeah....(I walk away, feeling like I had conquered the world.)
Then later at his house, I gave my good-bye and he looked me in the eye and said his good-bye. I felt like something from our friendship had been salvaged. Maybe. But then, long story short, Julie and I find out that he's recently been dating another girl since me and him broke up (broke up? You probably can't call it that...but I got no other way to put it.) And when he ended it, he said he, I quote, "wasn't interested in a relationship right now." And honestly, when I found out about this girl, I just laughed!! Because...why should I worry about liking someone who would do something like that?? This is why he is worthy of castration. Case closed.
Lately I've been having Shakespeare withdrawals. Maddy keeps telling me about the Shakespeare Festival at SUU...I'm just living through her...so I don't mind it. But that's why I put the quote up there at the top AND it's just rather fitting. Because right now, starting out in college, has been a good time for some soul searching and learning who I am without the foundation I have at home. And I love what my heart is telling me! Yeah, and I know it says "bosom," you dirty minded people (fine, I thought the same thing you did...yikesss...). It's a good quote, K?! Be mature...
So our apartment is actually kinda cold. What?!? So I got out my trusty Advanced jacket....it was nice to be wrapped up in it again. Good times. Good memories...I posted this on fb awhile back and...just read it. It ties in to where I'm going. Plus it's Shakespeare...which means beauty:
There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.
-William Shakespeare
And now I'm sailing onward to another land, with the old memories in my heart and new memories to make up ahead.

Last year in Advanced, my dear friend Shelby read this to us and it totally described the journey we were about to embark on. And now I'm on another journey and it's great! I was so scared that college life would be a disappointment compared to last year. But it's not! "You never see the same sunset twice." Life is a growing experience. And each new experience adds on to the last, until you have a whole life of beautiful, yet different sunsets. Life is beautiful. Come on!
Sorry this is super long....I just...have stuff to say! Peace out. Stay domestic.
