You're so right, as usual. I'm just gonna go and have fun and not stress about it. I'll probably get to know them a lot better this way, they're probably really nice and just excited to be with each other again, just like you said. I'm not going to go into this all mopey because that will just guarantee a sucky time. Even if they're kind of stand offish, it's whatever, I'm the only one who can dictate whether or not I have a good time. I will have good time, I mean, I'm going to a cool amusement park with roller coasters and water slides and shows - this is gonna be fun. I'm excited, I love roller coasters x) Thanks for the pep talk :) You're really good at that <3

That's a good point, I've been surprised by people too when I find out what they're into that I would have never been able to guess at first glance. Or the opposite, like I would think they would like something, but they don't at all x) Like at work, we were talking about tv shows and I mentioned looking forward to the second season of Orange is the New Black and was really pleasantly surprised by the people who suddenly expressed their love for the show x) I'll tell you a love of mine that people always seemed surprised when they find out about me - I really like video games, heh. I'm such geek for them x) I play Call of Duty with my brother basically every time I come home to visit, and I play with him online, and there's plenty other games I could list. I only play rarely during the school year though, since there's just no time. The ones I like the most are plot driven, first person games, where it's all about characters, storyline and beautiful graphics. Similar to a movie or a book really, except you control the action. Sort of like with role playing. Wouldn't it be interesting to really be able to see yourself from another person's point of view and see how they really perceive you? 

Oh yeah, that's true, you only get one shot on the stage! 

It was so terrifying lol x) I've been stung a few times! They like warm water and the beaches we went to in Florida and Texas where we used to live are on the Gulf of Mexico. Yeah, they're up there with the snakes haha xD Vinegar or meat tenderizer was the other remedy haha. Once we went to Corpus Christi, which is a beach on the Gulf of Mexico, in Texas, and it was like jellyfish mating season or something because the water was just full of them! They got caught in the surf and dumped onto the beach and people were literally going around to scoop them up and put them in trashcans to get rid of them. They were everywhere! Actually, unlike snakes which I never want to think about, I'm kind of interested in jellyfish. They're kind of pretty, just not when they're floating in the water next to you, menacingly x) 

Yeah, you hit the nail on the head. It's natural to grow apart from people, especially during the middle school and high school years, but you usually belong to a group of friends and it's difficult to just stop interacting all together with the usual suspects. Moving so often did that for me though. I've wondered if I would be sort of a different person had I stayed in Florida with my middle school friends, who would have probably been my friends in high school too and maybe up to college. Or would I not even know them anymore anyway, like I don't now. Did you go to middle school with the same people you hang out with in high school? Do you think you'll know your high school friends for the rest of your life?

Aw, she sounds like a sweet person to be around for the short time you do have to spend with her. You guys could be pen pals when she goes back to Germany. 

Cuddling in front of a movie and kissing, that's so cute~! Aww!! x) So what is this guy like?? What does he look like? Does he watch Game of Thrones too? Do you feel a spark with him? By "they kinda had a thing," you mean that your friend had some kind of fling with this guy too? That would make it a sort of tricky situation. If she's not interested in him though, there's no reason for her to guilt you out of seeing this guy. Can I ask you a really personal question? You don't have to answer, but how would you compare your feelings for this guy vs your crush on your best friend? I mean, obviously you've only just met him, so it might be impossible to compare. Would it make her jealous for you and the guy to start dating? Hehe, it's easy to tell if a guy likes you x) He constantly tries to talk to you/text you and to hang out with you as much as possible. 

I should have believed you x) Now I know better xD
