Less Than a Week, Yet . . .

I never thought I would ever miss Provo, so I was rather surprised at how badly I miss it now. I realized why. I've never felt this welcome in a group, ever, and so leaving it, even for a couple of weeks, is really rather painful.

People:

• Eric
• Hailey
• Tia
• James
• Griffin
• Kelsey
• Cody
• Victoria

Events:

• The campfire and Blues dancing (The Pagan Pit, we call it) at Eric's every Monday night.
• West Coast Swing at South Town Swing every Tuesday.
• Sammy's runs.
• The occasional Denny's run.
• Getting ready for Blues at Hailey's and Tia's house. 
• Blues dancing at Blue Tango every Thursday night.
• Random weekly outings with Eric.
• Hugs.
• Random phone calls and texts from Eric.
• Girls nights with Tia and Hailey.
• Late nights talking with roomies.
• Dinners with Cody and Kelsey.
• Teasing, and being teased by, Cody.
• The short, but great talks with Griffin.

I'm going to make sure I spend all the time I can with these guys when I get back in town. And boy, am I going to appreciate every moment.

Wide Awake

Yeah, I know it's tacky, but I do like this song and the only decent version I could find was in the form of a lyric video. And I'm posting it anyway. Sometimes it happens. Eric and I danced to it the other week, and I thought it was a good song, albeit not a good song to west coast to. It's more of a night club two step type of song. I feel like it's been a long time since I posted anything like this on here, and it is weird for me that it is Katy Perry because I generally don't like her music all that much.

But this song was really what I was feeling last night and tonight, and so I felt it was something I needed to share to help get things off my chest. Yet another tacky, generally overused and overrated way of doing that, but still, since when have I been known not to do something simply because it is tacky? After being brutally reminded of exactly where my place in life is, I feel I'm allowed a little tacky.

Misreading signs sucks, and not having anyone to fall back on to help you through it isn't cool either. Still, picking myself up, moving onwards and upwards. There's only so far I can let myself fall. But I'll probably be up all night again tonight. Don't expect too much outgoing-happiness energy on my part for the next couple weeks or so.
