Dear you,

I love candles. I bought a strawberry candle at a store today. I think the cashier asked me for my number just so he could have it. Anyway, it's Amazing.

I went to Amanda's tonight but she stayed downstairs with her boyfriend. Nolan, Alex, Sam, Ali and Eric were there with me. I'll tell you about them later. We played Apples to Apples and smoked and listened to The Shins. We burned 4 candles and tried to decide what the theme to their smoking room in the attic should be. I was the music picker. Sometimes they call me DJ Natty Ice. I think it's pretty hilarious. This post might be a little random. We decided those nights we hang out like that we'll say, "going to play poker" and it will make us sound really punky and rebellious.

We were listening to awesome 90's music and I decided to play Steal My Sunshine by Len. Everyone just got really happy and listened and bounced. It was one of those infinite moments that friends have. I always wonder if people know when a song is perfect for a moment like I do. I mean, I always feel like I'm in a music video. Does everyone else do that? Anyway, Ali said,

"I'm so happy to be here in this circle of people."

None of us said anything but we smiled and all knew how she felt.

As I walked down the stairs to leave I heard Amanda and Ryan laughing in her room. I felt happy knowing she was happy, even though I know he's bad for her. I'll let her be happy. Sometimes you just have to learn things on your own.

I'm watching South Park. Are you surprised?

I'm also texting my ex-boyfriend. Saying that makes me sigh. I'm so scared to try to write about that because it is so complicated.

Sincerely,

Me
