thankful

I am so happy right now.

Right at this moment, I am feeling so content and peaceful with my friends. I am feeling so thankful to be surrounded with such beautiful and talented people. I love their open-mindedness and their curiosity towards life.

I spent the morning with Vic and I also met Myf who was really very lovely.

I took the tram into the city to meet Shannay for lunch and I was held up at the traffic light. I watched the tram, that I wanted to take, go right by me. The guy next to me said out loud, "arrrrgh!" and I looked at him and I said, "I KNOW RIGHT." and we waited for the next tram together and we talked about where he was from and about his family. He was from New Zealand and had many sisters and a few brothers. He said all the girls were way more academic than the guys. I told him how I wanted to go to New Zealand because I wanted to see the beautiful scenery that I have heard so much about. We laughed a lot together about the instances where you JUST miss the tram, or when you JUST make the tram and how it feels so good when it is the latter. He was on his way to a cooking class, and i told him that that was awesome and that cooking is such a handy skill (not having to depend on other people to make deliciousness) It was so good meeting this guy, I didn't even get his name. I hope he is happy where ever he is.

I met with Shannay and we got macaroons together. We walked around the city trying to find a nice pasta place and I took her to one that I had been to before down an alleyway. It was pretty expensive but the food was so delicious. I couldn't stop smiling when I was eating it, and to be in such good company made me smile more. This girl is actually so lovely and I am so thankful to have her in my life. Even though it sounds so intense when I say it, I feel like there is no better time than now to express my joy towards her. I think it is always good to let people know that they make me happy.
We were so full by the end of lunch. We had predicted that we would be, but we kept eating because it was just so tasty.

During class I was texting Dylan about whether or not the Style Craft was on tonight or tomorrow night. I asked if he was dressed up right now and he said that he was and felt very awkward in class. It turned out that it wasn't on tonight (whoops) but we went there anyway and saw the big screen set up and also all the awesome furniture.
We were walking towards the train station and he asked whether I wanted to go get something to eat and I said excitedly, "FROZEN YOGURT!!" and he was like "YESSSS!!!" hahaha.
We talked about a lot of things over frozen yogurt. I ran into Pauline there too (she works there) A bit about relationships and a lot about movies and awesome cartoons and also funny comments on facebook (will put up a link when he sends it to me)
I told him how much I want to go the studio Ghibli museum so I can buy a book fuuuuuull of the sketches from all the movies. Dylan is such a good drawer that he was so keen on getting one too. He plans to go there next year in the mid semester break with Katelyn and he said that if he goes to the museum that he'll get me one!! whoooohooo. Because of Katelyn's study, she would be able to be sent to Japan for free so they'd just buy one ticket and split the price between them, I was saying to him, "you actually have the best girlfriend ever!!"
I was telling him how I put up a photo on instagram and Anouska had commented on it, "I walked past you in the city yesterday and said your name but you were charging on haha!" and I told him how embarrassed I felt at the image of me like fast walking through the city on my way to uni being late. I was also feeling so silly because I would have loved to have stopped and talked to her.

Dylan and I took the train home and as I walked home I thought how lucky I am to have just a handful of wonderful people in my life. People who I feel really safe with and very much myself around. I feel like that I am understood - and that is special.
