Today, unfortunately, was not a surprise party day, and our little visit was cut short because my friend had her grandparents visiting. So, instead, we had brownies (we started our period today), and went to the local mall in search of coffee. She found a musical soundtrack and coffee, and I had juice. After the tip off that one of our mutual friends worked at a shop in the mall, we popped in to see if she was working. She wasn't, so we left, and decided we'd go to a clothing store to try on things for fun. She's a petite girl, so when she noticed the high heeled shoes, she looked for her size. She said she felt 'sexy', and asked me how to walk in them. She pranced around a little, and then found some maxi and formal dresses. She asked for me to try one on, and she tried on what looked like a prom gown. I told her that if she held it the natural way, her breasts would topple out. So, we changed, and laughed at each other. We agreed that the dress I took out was a 'skank dress', and she said she was a closet-skank in hers. So, we took off the dresses, put them on the racks to be placed back, and walked out. After that, we went into the local Bath and Body Works, and tried perfumes and such. After that, we went back to her house, and hung out for a bit until my mom came to pick me up, and that was that.

So, no half-naked, oiled men...or pretty girls offering massages. None of that, which is disappointing, truly. Makes me a tad upset. : Ah well... even more reason to enjoy the surprises on my actual birthday. I'm just looking forward to honoring the tradition of getting to open one random present the night before.

Aaaaand, that's my update. Tomorrow I'm going to walk around campus finding my classes again, planning the best route, and getting my Sociology book...WHICH BETTER BE IN, SINCE WE HAVE A WEEK TO GO! Cheeseits...the lack of common sense for some parts of this school is interesting enough.

So, there you have it. I'll probably spend the rest of the day browsing and such. Still pretty excited about tomorrow. More excited about being able to stop beating myself up. If my former bf doesn't want to remain friends with me, that's his loss. No one's gain...but still. Just sad to lose a friendship, either way.

Blessings to all,
+R
