If you ask someone what they'd like to be like in the future, where they'd like to find themselves, they'd probably tell you that they want to be successful. I have no doubt that most people have some image of what "success" looks like. But of course it isn't the destination that really matters right? I mean, the trip is usually the longest and most interesting part of any adventure. Arriving is simply the garnishing at the end of an epic journey.
After a conservative childhood that has lasted all the way to... last year, life has been a mad dash to cram as much into every moment possible. It is exhilarating, and eye opening.
I guess, after this weekend and another spontaneous drive to Waterloo, I can finally cross another first off my list.
Everything was just right. I unexpectedly found myself surrounded by good friends, who helped me enjoy the night safely. Special thanks to: the girls who kept a lookout for me so that I didn't run off. To the girls that let me pass out on their shoulders and to those that kept giving me water. To the guys who took my car keys, drove me to their place and set me on their couch. I'm glad to hear that I was quite entertaining intoxicated, but yeah... don't expect it to happen again. I didn't think those shots would hit me quite as hard as they did.
Overall, it has been a great weekend. Juliana jumped on me while I was semi-passed out on bed, and was half hugging me and slapping me at the same time. I managed to walk into a door twice, and bent my glasses out of shape. I think I actually told someone I didn't like that I'd try to stop being a jackass to him. Got some practice playing tennis on Sunday, and got to spend more time with a very special girl.
Speaking of which. She's surprising me every time I take her out, and I've been trying to spend time with her as often as I can. On the surface, she seems like an anti-social individual who lacks opinions. But in the right conditions, you can see that she does have something to share. There's much more to her than what appears on that simple and calm demeanor of hers. I wonder what I'll see if I keep digging. If I'll find what I'm looking for.
