here's to the fast times; the times we felt alive

i hate when you’ve seen inside a person, but before you know it, they’ve completely changed. i have more then a few friends who (obviously aside from their physical appearance) are seemingly unrecognizable. the phrase “don’t change” is a waste. of course people change. its expected. its normal. but when a person changes to the point where you feel like you’ve never known them-thats when it hurts. it hurts that someone who you once could barely live without talking to for 5 minutes now seems like you never mattered. like you weren’t important to them then or now. i do believe that people go through “cycles” of friends. maybe you become really close with one person, or a group of people but after a while the friendship dies down. maybe you got sick of them, maybe they became friends with other people, maybe they make choices that are unfavorable to you-whatever the case may be. but for the most part, you’d think they would come back into your life the same way you left them. regardless, they’re not the person you once knew. and it sucks.

reading is addicting.

i should probably come up with more creative titles like brian does, but i guess im not too good at that :)

anyway, ive had the book “dear john” in my night-table drawer for ever, and of course, recently ive seen that its going to become a movie! since pretty much anything nicholas sparks writes is good, i figured, why not give it a try? i havent found a so-called “addicting” book in a long while, and i miss reading! (of course i have to read for school but its not the same).

i started reading it last night and im 176 pages in. its one of those books that you just want to stay in bed reading all day and all night. one of those books that you dont even want to put down even though you have to pee really badly! (sorry..) but everyone needs to experience a book like that at LEAST once in their life. one of those books that changes your perspective on life. a book that makes you want to be a better person. a book that, well, changes you.

if i had to list the top 3 things i cry about, it has got to be (in no specific order) books, movies, and school. when i read a good book, i become attached to the book, attached to the characters. id say most of the time i wish i was in the story. id say most of the time i feel like im in the story! i love books like that. i cant get enough.

for this book, id say ive cried about, 5 times so far. and im only, around 1/2-2/3 done with it. i dont want it to end. i made myself close the book earlier at the end of chapter…15 i believe, because i had to get ready for confirmation at temple, and it was getting to a really intense part.

plus i have my precalc midterm tomorrow in which it would be in my best interest to study. im getting to that. i should probably get to that…now..

tomorrow friday! hope everyone has a good day :)
