Skipping class...

Current mood: nervous
Category: School, College, Greek

I didn't go to class tonight L and yes I feel guilty! We threw a surprise party for Mrs. Jones tonight at Ally's because she is leaving to Hawaii on Tuesday *tear* (oh and I'm taking on her class and moving half of mine up to Ally's) and I didn't want to leave in the middle of hanging out with my favorite people and saying bye to Mrs. Jones. I texted Dennis to ask him about class he only made me feel super guilty by telling me how good it was :-/ punk! So yea... I feel like a high schooler who is gonna get chewed out tomorrow... yikes! pray for me!

Lessons from When Harry Met Sally

Current mood: amused
Category: Romance and Relationships

I watched it for the first time about 4 years ago under circumstances that do not need to be discussed right now, and I thought that the whole "guys and girls can never be just friends" thing was so true... even now, looking back on my BC days, I don't think I ever had a guy friend that at some point or another didn't like me or I didn't like him or something somehow happened between us. But now it's all different. While right now I have just as many attractive guy friends as BC, its no longer difficult being "just friends" with them. Perhaps it is because I view all of them as either my sweet, protective older brothers, or playful, silly and fun younger brothers. Either way, I see them not only as friends, but also as brothers, people that I can trust and who I know are looking out for my best interest and not their own personal satisfaction. Therefore there is no tension or strain on our relationship J and the guys that I did like/date without the desired result are now seen by me as friends and brothers as well. There's no wondering about "what ifs" and "maybes" because I know that they weren't the one and now all feelings are gone and I have a peace about being "just friends". My BC friends can't understand that and I don't blame them. There can't comprehend the idea of me not wanting to casually date anymore and waiting to date until I meet my husband. How will I know? I trust God that I will. Until then I'm perfectly content in being surrounded by my absolutely wonderful friends of both sexes because friendships alone are fulfilling enough for me right now. While some of my friends balk at my 2 year (1.5 now to be exact) plan I laugh (not in a mean way) about their short lived painful attempts at looking for love where it can't be found. There will always be temporary pleasure and all relationships are all wonderful at first and yes it's exciting and thrilling and fun and all those things, but it never lasts! And to me, if it doesn't last, it's not worth it. And by "last" I don't mean a week or a month or even a few (dozen) years... I mean a lifetime. I don't want to steal what doesn't legally and Biblically belong to me so I can enjoy it for a short while before having it taken form me in the most painful way. I want the very best of what God wants to give me and nothing less.

LOL I also love the spontanious epiphanies that guys get when they finally realize, Hey, she's the one! I love her! WOW... it's like, did it really take her leaving you for you to come to that realization? So yea, not quite P&P but on a similar scale...

On a lighter note, I love the part in the movie where Harry says "I'm done making a shmuck out of myself!" or something like that and then sings karaoke into the phone for Sally! HAHA! How true that sometimes when we resolve not to do something anymore all we do is kick it up a notch!!! I can think of quite a few examples of when I did exactly that... but those shall remain unspoken ;)
