:D

I love my friends extremely dearly. I don't think I can possibly say this enough. There are so many people in my life that just make me feel amazing and they don't even have to do anything. I feel amazing by being near them and I wish I could gather all of these people together in a giant room and have a massive party. It isn't an exaggeration when I say that I love ALL of my friends in some way, shape, or form; I'm friends with the best people around and I'm so happy I know them all and have gotten to meet them all through random occurrences.

Travis & I drove together to Verot to visit Ms. Day and the actors/techies. We saw Andrew shortly after having Mrs. Elliot lock eyes with me and thoroughly striking fear in me by doing so. Then we saw EVERYONE & I missed Ms. Day so fucking much. I haven't seen her in at least 4 months and that's a major problem. While Travis and I were sitting on a singing rehearsal, we started talking about how we even started talking to each other and when. I didn't truly meet him until junior year! How crazy is that?! We had Acting 1 together AND Spoon River practices together and I guess somewhere in between all that we became biffs :P

I then went to see Austin perform in Mr. Red Knight, which is yet another example why public school trumps Verot. It's this talent show where guys perform the various tasks that Miss America has to perform - there's a swimsuit, formalwear, casualwear, interview, talent portion. It was so much fun & I sat DEAD CENTER front row to support him! It was Jacob, Sterling, Brett & I all rooting for Austin. He was going up against these 3 other guys, who all seemed nice, but I wanted Austin to win, because he's a superstar :P

He ended up winning 2 awards, for casualwear/interview and best dance performance, and probably got 2nd overall, considering he had the 2nd highest amount of awards. He was totally robbed though, but that might just be my bias.

Afterwards, we all went to DQ to eat food, since silly Austin starved all day to maintain his boyish figure :P And then I found out that I'm the 2nd part of his name, which makes me happier than it probably should, but I like knowing these things!! Like there's Bonnie & Clyde or Spongebob & Patrick, but it's Jessica & Austin instead :D Yeah, that was probably a highlight of my night.. that's either really depressing or I'm just an excitable dork <3

His friends were saying I should go to their prom, but it'd be too much of a hassle to do so, since their prom is literally next weekend. But I'm definitely going with them to Busch Gardens, whenever they plan on doing that in May :D

I'm so excited <3
