Forever in a second.

I'm really glad I got to see John tonight. Applebee's was really nice. When I finished eating, I just sat back and looked around the restaurant, and then at John and Naia. I realized just how relaxed I was - how comfortable I was. For just a moment, a split second, it felt like everything had just disappeared. Like there was no school, no homework, no stress - nothing. And I started picturing all these things, imagining how the next few months are going to be. It wasn't sad, though. Everything I pictured in that brief moment was something happy.

I wish it could always be like that. But I'm not naive. I know there's a reality we all have to face every day. It's just nice to escape it every now and then, especially for just a few seconds like tonight. And it's nice knowing I'm surrounded by good company - by people I love to death and wouldn't trade the world for.

Tomorrow should turn out to be a pretty good day. And I'm really hoping my mom lets me hang out with John tomorrow after we're done at Greenville Tech. He's supposed to go with me to pick Joe up from school, too. That should be fun. And I promised my mom I would spend some quality time with her tomorrow night, to make up for being gone tonight. She can't argue with that, right?

Anyway, it's taken me quite some time to post this, even though it's not really that much. So I think I need to just call it a night. But I'm sure I'll post again tomorrow.

Goodnight.
