I Walk Alone.

Today was a good day. No, nothing great or fantastic happened. It was a normal day actually. I woke up to the sound of some crazy techno at the usual 6:56 am, took the usual morning shower, brushed my teeth, and finished the typical routine of getting ready. Class was boring, as usual. When is an 8am class ever fun? Work came and went, routinely. Then, as I always do on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I attended my bible class, unwillingly I must say. Yes, as you can tell, today was horribly boring.

I realized a few things today however.

One. Boredom is not necessarily a bad thing. Having a boring day is significantly more appealing than having a day full of atrocious events. I would rather having a boring day than lose my job. Please, I can't lose that job, actually. I need it. So, therefore, boring is good.

Two. I'm simply rushing it. Yes, I really like him. Yes, I really want to be "his." Yes, I really want to be able to claim him, haha. But I do not want to rush into this. I want it to work out. I want us to be happy. So for now, he is simply my...Eric. He is obviously more than a friend, but nothing official yet. And, I'm going to keep it that way until he decides he is ready for something else. Something more, that is.

Three. Smoke detectors with low batteries are super annoying. Especially when you are trying to sleep after a night of being kept up by obnoxious snoring and blanket stealing. And, for me, they bring back horrible memories that I never want to experience again. So please kids, if it beeps, replace the batteries, for the sake of Amanda.

Finally, Four. Best friends are amazing. Best friends make the world a better place. Most people are only lucky enough to have a single best friend, but, I am lucky enough to have five. At this point, I don't know what I would do without you guys. You have helped me through the worst of times, through my lowest points, ever. I could never thank you guys enough. You basically saved my life. I love you all.
