Plans!

I am happy right now. It is an amazing feeling and I hope it doesn't go away. I don't know if anything really improved or if the relentless sunshine is making me see things in a new perspective but it doesn't matter.
Anywayyy, as I rambled about in my last entry, I was busy all weekend, going in and out of the house for three days straight. I was hoping things wouldn't quiet down because as relaxing as time spent alone can be, being with amazazing people and having a good time beats that by a mile. Thankfully they didn't. These are my tentative plans:
- On Saturday night, Kinnari, Em, Sophie, Megan, Bailey, and Raksha are coming over my house. We're going to watch Twilight because Bailey wants to watch it again and Raksha hasn't seen it at all. Em wants to see what's on the third disc I have and she's horribly jealous that my DVD case sparkles like Edward. Damn straight. (Although I told her she should just go back to Stop & ShopPart, throw the DVD on the customer service desk, and say, "This DVD is defective...IT DOESN'T SPARKLE!" I think that's a solid enough reason for a refund.) Bailey even has Sparkle Like Edward powder and stuff that her mom bought for her as a joke. We're going to take some ridiculous pictures. The only thing concerning me is possible tension between Kinnari and Bailey. They never had a major fight or a falling out, but their personalities clashed and Kinnari is easily aggravated by some of the things she does. I told her flat out that Bailey was coming because I didn't want her to show up at my house and A) get mad at me for not telling her and/or B) feel awkward and want to leave. She said she was alright with it though. Besides, it's not like it's just the three of us.
- My mom is all gung-ho about having another reunion with my friends from elementary school, except this time it's going to be at our house. I was supposed to talk to Liz on the bus today but I figured I should get an idea of who to invite and send out a message on Facebook...Liz doesn't have a Facebook so I'm going to wait and see if everyone agrees and it's official before I tell her. This whole idea stemmed from a conversation Katie and I had during gym last week. I don't usually talk to her because she hangs on the arms of two other girls I'd rather not step in the pathway of, but she decided to come over to our side of the gym that day. She said it was because she didn't want to play soccer-volleyball but a minute after joining us, she turned to me and asked, "What do you think of Mackenzie and Zoe? I won't tell them anything, honestly, it's just that...I can't stand being around them anymore and I want to know if it's just me." I told her the truth: that neither have done anything harmful to me personally, but Mackenzie's personality is dry and Zoe can be overbearing, to say the least. They're far from being horrible people...but I could never be their best friends. Usually I would have been wary about saying that, but I've known Katie since fourth grade and while I can tell white lies to strangers...I can't do it to friends. She didn't get mad at all when I said that; in fact she was nodding away like this all made sense to her. She told me she couldn't deal with the two of them any longer. What struck me the most was when she said, "I pretty much hate everyone I'm friends with now." A piece of me wanted to think, Well no wonder, that's usually what happens when you run away from the people who know you best at the time you need them the most. But she was on the verge of tears, I could tell, and my bitter thoughts disappeared.
I don't know why people come to me with their heartfelt confessions (it's happened with random people before, honestly), but it made me want to do something for her. So that's where this reunion idea came from.

Oh and random exciting news: I'm OFFICIALLY OFFICIALLY going to Italy next year with Marisaaaaaaaaaaa. I have to miss seven days of school which will be stressful and may cause my teachers to dislike me, but hey, I have an entire April break right after that to make up my work. And I'm a responsible kid.
I can't wait to get out of this country,
