Were You Always This Creepy?

My Top 3

Well, I’ve had an exciting past three days. Friday, I hung out with Geoff (and other people) and went to the movies. We saw National Treasure 2. It gets two Branden thumbs up. On Saturday night, I went with Corey and Matt to a LAN party. Counter Strike and Guitar Hero 3 all night. By the time I made it home, it was about 4:30 (that’s AM, people). Sunday night, I went over to Andrea’s. It was amazingly fun. We talked, we watched some movies (28 Days Later, Austin Powers:IMoM, Dude, Where’s My Car and Take The Money And Run), we painted each other’s nails (joke), etc. That was another night of not getting home until after 4 in the morning.
It’s odd, when Andrea and I actually went to school together, we didn’t really talk. We were barely more than acquaintances. And now, I’m beating myself up for not hanging out with her sooner.

But that makes me wonder: How many other people did I know in high school, and not take the time to get to know better, that would’ve been awesome to spend time with? Was the guy who could make me laugh more than anyone sitting next to me in Calc? Was the girl who could give me insights to the female mind the one I haven’t said more than three words to at church? If it wasn’t for AIM and insomnia, I would’ve missed out on the chance to hang with Andrea. Unfortunately, it seems that if the only chance one has of making sure not to miss out on potential good friends is to pray for amazing first impressions. Other than that, there isn’t anything you can do.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas.
