I'm having a good weekend so far! On Friday I went to class in the morning. Then the carpet & wall people came so now our living room is finally clean and everything is in order. Moley also got a haircut... he looks so different now! Looks so much older :)
Anyways today (March 1) is Richard's 23rd birthday. So on Friday night at midnight all of his friends came over for a little surprise birthday party. We were actually really tired because we had been helping Anton & Jen move all day. Everyone stayed until like 2AM just talking... I thought I was going to fall asleep. I haven't slept past midnight in like over a month! Anyways, I haven't seen everyone in a while so it was fun.
Today was -more- moving. Other than that we had dinner at Caffe Roma which is on Canon in Beverly Hills. I've been pretty exhausted from moving things but it hasn't been so bad. I guess I'm used to moving things around, since I pretty much moved every year since I've started at UCLA.
Yesterday was also the mark of 1 1/2 years with Richard. (And a full 2 years since the day I met him, since I met him on his birthday) Wow. It's not that I can't believe it's been so long... because it's felt like forever. It's just that once you put it into a number it becomes so concrete. I started getting very sentimental in the car and just going over the last 2 years in my head. And then I started thinking, why is it that guys are so afraid of being sentimental? I mean, those closest to me know that this is one thing that I think very highly of. I mean, to be sentimental about things you have to put yourself in a vulnerable position and express thoughts and emotions that you would otherwise keep to yourself. I think to sacrifice your pride and let your guard down like that is the most sincere, genuine act you can show towards another person. People need to stop being so self-conscious and prideful and just take a step back and enjoy their lives. Moreover, they need to stop worrying about the future or what they've done in the past and just contemplate about the little things that make you happy. And if those little things come from someone special, then let them know that! Everyone always just keeps things to themselves. They are afraid of risking their pride in a moment of sentimentality. That is a shame.
