Just One Of Those Days...

     
  Do you ever have one of those days where all you wanna do is be dressed in comfy clothes, listen to music, and be by yourself? I am having one of those days. I spent the day playing Sims, and then decided I should go to a couple of my friends graduation parties. But if you have experienced a day like this, then you would understand how hard it is to go to a party and be all jolly and excitable.

       For these kinds of days I feel it is best to sit and watch a movie, read a book, go on YouTube, or like I am doing now is to blog about it. 

       You see, today was an interesting sort of day with all types of emotions, surroundings, and people. I started out sleeping in until 11am which was big for me because I have been used to getting up around 8am for the last two weeks. I then, as I said I played Sims, went out to dinner with my family, and practically forced myself to be social. I went to two graduation parties, met some new people, saw some old, but in between it all I was stuck inside my head. It was a day of deep thinking. After the graduation party, some of the people there were heading to get yogurt but I actually declined and went home to relax and play more sims. I am quite glad I did that as well. I eventually had the idea of hosting a bonfire. Bonfrie's are nice because they are relaxing, in the dark, yet still enjoyable. So, I invited everyone and had a mini bonfire party. Right now, it is actually 2:45am, and the last three guests who were three of my guy friends, left about 10 minutes ago. I even have two friends who are going to come back and stay the night, but went to a pool party at a different friends home. I would go swimming but I don't roll with that crowd as much and I quite enjoyed talking with my close friends surrounding a warm fire. 

       You see, it turned out to be the perfect ending for the day. And this day, turned out to be quite wonderful. I was able to prove to myself that even if it seems nice to be by yourself, it is also nice to sit and relax with some close friends. I don't regret a thing I did today. 

       That is another point I have. I will proudly admit that I do not do any drugs (except caffeine...coffee...red bull) or drink alcohol. It just is not appealing to me an anyway. I quite love being happy and fully remembering each and every precious moment in my life. I have learned to stop and take in the world around me. Why drink it all away when it is so beautiful out there. Which also reminds me that when I am long boarding with all of my friends, they all ride as fast as they can. Then there is me...I ride slow and cruise. I look at the world around me. I take it all in, and enjoy the moment. 

       Anyways, it has been a great few days. I can say the nights I completely live for are nights where I am just relaxing, and hanging out with my friends. Not going out and going crazy but sitting at park benches at sunset, or standing in a parking lot at midnight, or sitting around a fire until almost 3am. Its precious moments and memories like those that I strive to live for.
