Today, I gave and received more hugs than I have in any day in my recent memory. It was prety much the best ever. And Lacy gave me a shoulder rub, so I feel very relaxed now.

I didn't find my wallet, but that's okay now. Because I have friends who I really love, and people who trust me, and if I can make a difference in one person's world, then goddamnit that's a good reason to show up every day.

Kristin and I went to WalMart from 4 to 6:30 with my mom, and of that we stood at a kettle maybe 45 minutes to an hour. The rest of it we went in, three times. Time one: I bought a DVD for Kait and one that I'm going to watch with Kristin, and also got Criminal Minds Season One, How I Met Your Mother Season One (which goes to Kristin, my best friend and wingman and Neil Patrick Harris lover), and An Inconvenient Truth. Time two: an $80 adaptor to hook my iPod to my TV (which didn't work so well at Kelly's, even with myself and Lacy and Jen Dwyer fiddling with it), and $20 headphones.

Time three, Kristin and I went in to play Guitar Hero II, and she ended up COMPLETELY FUCKING PWNING Heart Shaped Box on medium. She got five stars. 96% the first time she played it. And then the audience wanted an encore-- and the song it gave her was Carry On Wayward Son. FUCK YES. She got a 91% on that. She's my guitar hero. ♥

Then we got subs at Quiznos. Oh my god chicken carbonara. And I saw Chance, who I haven't seen in like FOREVER, and I really should call David Carr and see about hanging out some time. But I digress.

Once we got to Kelly's, everything mellowed out significantly. Not that it hadn't been good due to Walmart shop'ing and Quiznos, but there's a whole hell of a lot to be said about being with your friends. Lots of hugging. I practically forced Kyle Rougeau to take a hug, which he admitted was very nice (and someone said that "a comfortable hug" means "I like your rack", but then I hugged them and they realized he was right xD), and then I practically forced him to let me put cinnamint lip gloss on him. I put it on my finger first, I think that's the only reason he let me do it. (And then I practically jumped on his lap, but in this case "practically" doesn't mean I did it, which it doesn't actually mean anyway, does it? I did the first two, not the second.)

I was called hot by someone I have thought was pretty all of the six years I've known her. And one little act of gossiping turned into something far, far deeper-running, and maybe things do come to a balance, maybe there are reasons some people come into each others' lives. And I'm going to try and make a difference, because it's terrible to see someone with so much potential give it all up.

Anyway. I should probably call Jen tomorrow and ask her to come rip up t-shirts with me. xD If I can find some red or black fabric and old white shirts, I'll make a "Free Matt Pierce" t-shirt with her. Fabric glue will do for something to wear on a visit until we can get really good ones made. I'm going to teach myself stitchery and I want to make something cool with box-stitch corners and contrasting embroidery. Maybe I'll make it for her for Christmas.

(Oh my god, William Beckett is so gorgeous. The video for "Phrase That Pays" is just... ohgod. Becks.)

Speaking of Christmas, I have plans: I'm doing that thing with Kristin, which we should get going on fairly soon; I'm getting that DVD for Julia (and two others if I can); my brother's probably getting something snowboarding-related (maybe goggles, maybe gloves...); tomorrow after church I'm going to finish up packages to mail on Monday. And Monday morning I'm going to deposit my paycheck and go mail some fucking packages and cards already. xD

Kristin won me an octopus in the claw game! It's so cute. but it reminds me a little of Will Ferrell. So his name is Harold.

(Kristin: in the Mac ad where PC crashes, he totally says "hi, I'm a PC.")

I don't know. I feel so good now when I felt so bad before, and I love it. I appreciate my friends so much. And I love them all.
