"The people you love can surprise you every day. Maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do, but  rather what we're capable of when we least expect it."

Day 6

Its Friday. My first Friday living in Dallas. I spent it wondering around the bookstore looking for the book that for some odd reason I have started reading because it was sitting on the coffee table when I moved in with Erin. She is angry because I have read more than her and took the book to read on her flight to Amarillo today, mainly just so she doesn't lose. Not that it is a competition but then again what's not with Erin. I found the book. I felt lame reading a book on a Friday night in Dallas. Then again, I felt strangly small and unimportant. I'm in a huge city sitting in a one bedroom apartment reading a book...no one knows me here. Its strange. Then again, when do I ever read? I don't even know myself right now. But I am ahead of Erin. Point Keelie. 

Every morning this week I awake just to be reminded of how not grown up I am. Erin reminds me of that fact as she searches for dress pants to wear for work and then runs to the kitchen while brushing her teeth to make her sandwich and slams the door to chase the train which most likely she has already missed. Every morning this week I have been entertained. I wonder if I will ever have a job, be responsible, be grown up. I don't really want to grow up but Erin makes it seem fun. 

Speaking of being grown up, I got a kroger card this week and saved $9.75, I am now a valued customer. Speaking of not being a grown up, I stopped at the corner store and bought a large coke just so I could have the $.50 hot dog that you got with it. Best lunch all week. I have decided I would rather die young. Then again, am I already past the young mark? 

Does anyone else think Kobe Bryant is way too in love with himself? It drives me nuts. 

Happy weekend! 

Dallas

Yesterday I moved in with Erin. We went to a pool party. We met new friends. Everyone we met asked how we were friends and Erin explained to them that we had been friends since we were six. The more I thought about the crazier it sounded. We went to the pool again today and made some more friends and saw some old friends from yesterday. After getting stuck in a parking garage with a few guys you become good friends quickly. 

So here I am, living in a one bedroom apartment with Erin, my friend of 16 years....I'm old. And I'm surrounded by Harry Potter books, and there is not a clock in the apartment that has the right time. Its Erins way of conquering the world or some nonsense like that. Speaking of nonsense I am drinking out of an Aggie cup right now. 

I can't wait for everyone to come visit for a fun weekend in Dallas. Talk about the life of the party. Imagine the damage the whole group can do, me and Erin have done enough damage just between the two of us.
