I freaking love my friends!!! Last night, I had Anna, Amanda (I'm feeling less hostile towards her, now), Zach, Felipe, and a couple of Zach and Felipe's friends (Han and Maria) come over to my house so that we could go to a play at my ward that Celina and Claire were in. We hung out for about ten minutes before we walked over, and Han and Maria are great! Han didn't talk much, but Maria is such a cutie. She and Felipe are exchange students here from Brazil, and they're both seniors. I love Felipe, too! In a platonic way, of course. He's such a sweetheart, even if he is a little bit of a flirt. At the play, we met Keti, Krissi, Krissi's little brother + friend and got a seat in the back. Claire was in the very first song in the 'play', but Celina wasn't going to be up till the very last song. I was sitting next to Zach and Felipe, and I have to admit, I was slightly.... loud. Really loud. I kept singing along obnoxiously to the songs I knew, and apparently, according to Anna, some family in the row a couple ahead of us kept staring at me. Hemmm... well, Felipe was doing it, too, and he's seriously entertaining. Anyways, after the play was over, we (Anna, Amanda, Zach, Felipe, Maria, Han, and me) kind of forgot about Keti and Krissi and ran/skipped home, linking arms (SOO COLD!). Celina and Claire came over about ten minutes later with Melissa and Mariah, and we drank hot chocolate and hung out. So much fun having that many friends over!! Even if it was a bit crazy, it was a lot of fun, and we played murder in the dark. hahaha. Celina might like Felipe, but I'm not sure... She said she liked him last week when we went to the haunted house, but then later she said she didn't really like him more than a friend, but it's hard to tell now. And Felipe... who knows who he likes, and if he likes anyone. The boy is touchy-feely with every girl available. Not that I'm complaining: he gives a great hug, too! He actually lifted me up during one, though, so that wasn't so much fun. And this has been the most journal-y blog entry of all time. |

Hugging Zach is like hugging an enormous teddy bear, except, this one hugs back. And fantastically, at that. I feel like I never want to let go, just remain in his warmth and comfort forever. This scares me. It also thrills me. Being so near to him sparks a pleasant, familiar glow in the pit of my stomach, the kind you get when you fall in love. I don't believe that I'm head-over-heels in love with Zach so much as I'm in love with being friends with such a fantastic guy. I can't even begin to explain what a great guy he is, but I'm going to try anyway. I'm so lucky to have made a friend like him, someone who isn't even close to cynical, who uplifts everyone, expresses his feelings, and is probably the most kind male alive. I don't know if I'll ever meet anyone quite like him ever again. I hope that my future husband is similar to him: kind, positive, funny, uplifting. He says the loveliest things for no specific reasons. Like today, for instance: I commented on how I felt weird not wearing makeup, and he said "You look beautiful no matter what, Erin." How astonishingly kind is that? He makes me want to squeeze him to death with a giant, grateful hug. Having him in my life has made me feel increasingly happy, and I desperately hope that we'll remain close friends through the years. Maybe I am in love with him. (That's what the Seventeen magazine quiz said, at least) |
