Heart!

Seriously, I am in love with Michelle Sassounian. I have known her longer than anyone else on the planet (aside from my immediate family, that is), and this brings me much joy. Daily. I just got done reading an entry from her Myspace blog, and now I have the warm-fuzzies and a very legitimate reason to smile (something I've struggled to do since being home). Michelle's words:

"one of the things i miss most, however, truly speaking, is the way my daily life included jen. walking/driving to class at 7 am. me running late. talking about our dreams the night before. making fun of each other. copying each others homework. complaining. watching passions at noontime and wishing we were theresa. staying over at each others houses when our own were getting kind of out of hand. coming in without knocking. ordering big new yorker pizza. (so good by the way). drinking diet coke with crushed ice (jen's freezer had a crushed ice option!!). wasting hours upon hours of time together.

really with this girl we always pick up directly where we left off, which is so great. too often i feel completely divorced from people upon reuinting, but with jen its not that way at all. spring break was fantastic, especially when she passed out on the ground in front of the door."

I don't really have much else to say except for "Wow!" After writing an entry the other day that detailed how distant I feel from so many people I once considered my best friends, Michelle reaffirmed the fact that she really and truly is one of my best friends in the whole fucking universe - something that will never change whether we're near or far away from each other. If you are still with me here, I think you should really take this to heart and realize that everyone needs a Michelle Sassounian. She is the best girl ever.

Angela Serratore is also pretty cool. She and I just saw Bloc Party at the El Rey. I had never been there before, but I quite enjoyed it as a venue and hope to frequent it more often. The show was good, but Angela and I agreed that, while each band member was trying extremely hard to do his best, they have a while to go before they sound totally in sync with one another. Nevertheless, it was a good show, and I do love my Bloc Party.

I also love Sunil Amin because, when I asked him how much he benched at the gym today, he said (in a very Napolean-esque voice), "Uhhh...like, a lot, okay?" Seriously, he CRACKS ME UP. If you knew him, this would probably be much more comical.

Anyway, in addition to seeing Michelle and Angela this evening, I also saw Keri Phillips (who Michelle and I walked to and from middle and high school with every day for four years straight), and Sameer Khan, the most beautiful man alive. I do enjoy hours spent with wonderful people, and Keri and Sameer are among them. We all ate at Chili's in Westwood, where some dude and his gf were macking like whoa in front of the restaurant AND where our waitress fucking sucked! She was literally the WORST WAITRESS EVER. No Alex Weiss, that's for sure...

Tomorrow I'm going to Sugar Shack in the AM with some pretty awesome people. For those of you who don't know, Sugar Shack is a local favorite for every meal (but especially breakfast). You know, family run and all that jazz. On Main Street, so you can hear the waves crashing against the sand and such.

It's nice to live on the coast. I doubt I could do it any other way. G'nite.
