People

I've realized that there are simply too many fantastic people in this world.  And it makes me sad that I won't get to know all of them on the same level as some of the wonderful people who are in my life right now... Even if I spend every single day out with someone new, it's not HOW many people you meet that matters, its how LONG you know them for that truly matters... In order to truly get to know someone you need to spend a lot of time with them.  And it saddens me that there isn't nearly enough time in the day to get to know so many people that I feel are truly fantastic, but who I know I'm only seeing the tip of their iceberg of awesomeness. ((weird sentence, shut up the sun fried my brain today))





I'm glad that I know there are people in my life where, although we may not be all that close, definitely not nearly as close as I'd like to be, we have friendships where its ok if we don't see each other for awhile, when we're together we can just chill and pick up right where we left off, like nothing's changed, but the time apart leads to wonderful stories and laughs all around.


I also really appreciate my friendships that have been around forever.  The ones where I don't need to question whether or not that wonderful person will be there for me tomorrow, I know they're always just a phone call away, that they don't mind me showing up at their house when they're just barely woken up for the day, or when I AM their alarm clock... the friends who will hug me even though they get sick like its NOBODY'S BUSINESS and they're the FIRST to give me a hug when I have a cold and don't want to breathe germs on them, who have incredible music taste and can post a playlist on my wall that makes my entire day... the friends who pick me up and drag me out to dinner when I'm not feeling well, the friends who are so chill they can manage to calm down the champion of all worriers ((ME. THIS GUY OVER HERE. SO GOOD AT IT.)) the friends where I know what they're thinking and they don't need to say a word, the friends where I dont need to try and figure out the inflection of the words they're typing, I can already hear their voice in my head... the friends who I know no matter how much I tease them, they know I care about them more than anything. Friends who are wonderful in each and every way and don't mind my insanity, who go swimming with me in the FRIGID water on the beach, who don't realize their bathingsuit top is upside down and bake incredible cookies and babble about plants with me FOREVER, who get excited or terrified about incredible storms headed our way and stare at the radar for hours... the friends who live FIVE MINUTES AWAY I SWEAR, THAT'S LIKE THREE SONGS, RIGHT? and get super excited when I drive over to chill with them and their adorable dog <3 I gotta say, there's nothing like the feeling of having someone excited to see you and spend time with you...

I love my friends who I know cannot wait until the fall when we'll all be trapped in a wonderful campus in the middle of cow fields together, having fort nights, movie marathons, star gazing hill trips, adventures through the woods, and frog catching fun... late nights giggling about how much we shall triumph, musing about the universe until the early morning, trying to save an oblivious friend from a creep who said that, "Jessie, you look really tired, you should go to bed... >___>" ((good work agreeing with said creep...)), all night talking about EVERYTHING on a couch fort because some people don't have friday classes >>  friends who will end my random songs with a "boof boof" that it very clearly needed.  I love my friends who go Legolas-ing, who send me pictures of adorable critters and hang out all the time because they know I want them to, who make it impossible to say goodbye due to wonderful hugs...


I dunno... I just never slow down... there isn't enough time in a day for all the stuff I want to do... For all the people I need to spend time with, for everything I want to try, all the things I want to see...

Hahahaha go figure everyone signed off of everything before I finished this xD Oh well... they didn't realize the reason I was unresponsive was because I'm writing this wtf verb tenses?
