Feeling Good :)

"If you ask me what I came into this life to do, I will tell you: I came to live out loud."

-Emile Zola

October has begun, my favorite month of all but aside from that, all I can say right now is my month is looking up.
I have some good mood swagger.
Let me start with a couple of things. October has alot going on for me! I'm going to travel to see Switchfoot, my favorite band after six years of not being able to go see them in concert and that's in 2 weeks! :D

Also, something really unexpected happened to me that turned out to really work out. When I came to college, one of the first people I met was my friend JJ. He introduced me to Sigma Delta Lambda (my sorority) and became one of my closest friends. He's always been there for me and I know I can count on him for anything. Lately though, I've noticed that our friendship's gotten different. We got really close over the summer when I was working at Applebee's and he would pick me up (since we got out around the same time) and as of recent, I've noticed how he's become one of my best friends. Well this last week, he got strangely awkward all of a sudden and I started to wonder if I had done something wrong or if he was mad at me (since I kind of lied about my weekend two days ago when I said I was in Austin instead of a sister's birthday bash like I was actually at)
I stayed pretty much confused but sure enough, to my luck, I discovered it wasn't my fault!
It turns out that JJ was working up the nerve to have "the talk". He showed up at my apartment late one night asking if we could take a walk and maybe talk about a few things.
A normal person would think nothing of it and go outside.
I am not a normal person. I panicked and thought he was going to get mad at me (for what, who knows but whatever). And I quickly threw my hair up and went outside. 
I was kind of taken back when I found out I wasn't in trouble; he asked me out on a date! And I said yes :)
We went out and surprisingly there wasn't a single awkward moment at all. It was a great date and I'm definitely excited about the second one!
I woke up the next day with a smile on my face and some leftover excitement and today I'm walking like I own the places. It's like I have this rejuvenated energy. Everything's looking up and I'm absolutely thrilled. I'd never really looked at him as more than a friend because both of us have sworn up and down that we are JUST FRIENDS and there's never been a reason to doubt it but now, it's just different. It took a turn and it doesn't feel forced or awkward at all. As a matter of fact, it feels like just a growth of our friendship. Who know where this is going- it's definitely far from an actual relationship. I'm perfectly okay with just dating and going out here and there to see where it goes. But I like how life is going so far. :)
Might just be my best October yet!
