Blank Space

I just wrote a blog post on my other blog about this same topic, the only difference is that I can be more specific on this blog than my other one.

Taylor Swift wrote a song called "Blank Space" and its about wanting to start something with someone because you've got a blank space next to your name and you'd like to see what happens. That's how I feel about someone right now.
Blank Space

So I started hanging out with this guy like a month ago. He is really amazing. I've been pondering the last little while about the people that I associate with. There was one guy that I liked, and I still do, but I'm nearly positive that nothing is going to happen with that one and that is fine with me.

This other guy. Is so not my type, he is tall and skinny. He's 6'4". A foot and 2 inches taller than I am. But that really didn't make any difference. Since the first time we started hanging out we just got along and have stuff to talk about nearly all the time. A few days ago I had spent like 4 hours with him, just pretty much us. And when I got home, I told my roommate that I was trying really hard not to like him because I still think that nothing is going to happen with us. And right now that's great, I am just fine being friends, it's just comfortable.

Thinking about all the fun that we have just makes me smile. I mean, the 2nd time that we ever really hung out we walked around BYU campus for 3 hours just talking. And he literally lifted me up and threw me into a pile of leaves - that's when I  knew that he was different.

I really want to go on a date with him, I think that it would be fun, and it means that I get to spend time with him. Good golly what is happening to me.

Birthdays

So a couple weeks ago was my birthday. I had to tell someone my age and it was weird to say 20. On the actual day my brother was in town and we hung out for a couple hours, which was really nice. When we got back from the mall (he had a job interview) my roommates had dressed up the door of our apartment. There were balloons, a poster with nice things on it, and sticky notes with compliments and well wishes from people that I know. It was the sweetest thing and I almost cried. It was amazing to know that they cared. In addition there was a bouquet of flowers and cupcakes. And a pinata. We ordered pizza and invited a few people over, it was just right. Later we watched a movie and had more people over. The perfect way to end the night. The only downside is that the guy I like had to leave early to finish his homework.

On Thursday I went home to have dinner and get some presents. We ate fried chicken with potatoes and biscuits. It was so yummy and I ate far too much. I got some great stuff, I got a Toothless build-a-bear, body spray and scrub, earrings and a hoodie thing. I was very happy!

Friday was the finale to my birthday celebrations. We went on a group date - ice skating. Finding a date was a little stressful because the guy I wanted to ask originally broke his toe, and the other 2 were working. So I ended up asking another friend. And it was so stinking fun. We gathered together at my apartment and headed out. There were 6 couples and I think that we all got along pretty well. I am so happy that I went with Jared! He was an awesome date (and it doesn't help that he's darn attractive either). Even though it wasn't exactly what I had planned, I think that it was exactly what I needed. I;m so glad that we did it!

Usually I try not to draw too much attention to my birthday, but this year it seemed like there was a lot of attention on me. I didn't mind too much though, it wasn't an overload just little things that made a difference. I am very happy with how my birthday turned out.

YAY!

Content

Is this what happiness is supposed to be like? I am content. I have amazing roommates, awesome friends, a wonderful family and a future that is finally starting to come to together.

Yesterday I registered for classes for next semester. That was quite the chore. I changed mt major! I am now officially a Deaf Studies major with an emphasis in Interpreting with a minor in Religious Studies. These may seem random to some, and even to me sometimes, but I have spent so much time thinking about this, and I feel like this is what I am supposed to be doing at this time. I may not have a social life next semester, but that seems to be the consensus among my friends as well. I am excited for my classes even though I have no idea what I'm getting myself into.

On the boys front, I am honestly happy. I have been hanging out with 2 guys a lot and they are both really awesome. I know for a fact that I have feelings for one of them, and I think that he might like me a little bit. My roommates are rooting for something to happen between us, and I surely wouldn't mind :). There is also another guy that I met at the beginning of the semester, but just started to get to know late last week. He is really great, and I can't believe that I am lucky enough to be able to spend time with him. Every time I go anywhere, my roommates ask which one I;m going to be with, and it changes day to day. In any case, I am not dating anyone currently and there is nothing wring with hanging out with multiple guys at similar times.

There are definitely good aspects to all of this. i no longer think that I am going to end up #foreveralone anymore. I mean, there are 2 guys that I think that I may have a chance with, something that I never would have thought 3 months ago. And it makes me happy because what I believe about being yourself is the only way to be happy.

In other news, I am going on a date on Friday! Its my birthday tomorrow and instead of having a "birthday party" I wanted to go on a big group date, to go ice skating, with my friends. I intended to ask this one guy, but he broke his toe on Saturday so he can't exactly go ice skating. So then I had to think of someone else, and both of the other guys that I considered asking are both working that night. So I asked my other friend - it wasn't instant and I had to check with my roommates and make sure that it was okay. In any case, I am going on a date - for my birthday - with the guy that pretty much every girl in my ward wants to go on a date with. And the great thing is that we are just friends and it will be oh so enjoyable :) you could say I'm excited.

This feeling is new to me, and I know that I've said it before, but I am very happy. Of course there are days that aren't as great as others, but I really don't have anything to really complain about. Things are going great and I am healthy. I'm looking forward happily to my 20th year of life! At this point, it is going to start out with a bang and that is all I've ever wanted.
