Anyone who reads this blog knows, or SHOULD know about my best friend / ex-girlfriend, Manda. We've known eachother for almost four years (It'll be four years as of October 21st), and we've been through hellacious ammounts of shit together.

But, every time we planned to meet, something got in the way. Until now.

We'd been making plans for awhile for her to come down here the weekend after my birthday, but we were still holding our breath, knowing that usually, our plans got thwarted.

Well, this time, they didn't.

Friday evening, Mom & I drove to Hollister, Missouri, about a little over an hour from our place, to meet Manda. She was driving down from St. Louis, where she attends college, and we didn't want her to get lost in the backass Arkansas woods, so we were meeting here there, and then Mom was going to drive back, and I was going to drive with Manda and navigate.

It worked out perfectly =D

Manda & I were talking on the phone as Mom & I arrived, and Mom saw her before I did, and like, as we pulled into the parking lot, I DOVE out of the Aztec and ran to meet her. We were in an insta-hug!

Trying to detail out every single detail would take me like....a whole lot of stress, because I need to write it in my journal anyways, and I'm kind of bumming because she left a few hours ago, and like....I don't want to focus too much on everything right now, but it was absolutely amazing. Better than I ever thought it could be.

We've loved eachother for years and yeah..we just can't be together. It'd be great, but both of us have our lives to live, but it was still awesome getting to see eachother, because whether we can be together or not, we're still best friends, and the love between us is amazing, and it's just....awesome.

But...anyways...for details...

Yesterday we went out and we were planning to get our noses pierced and get my hair cut, and as we were leaving, Adam handed me money and was like "Do you want your birthday present? Are you going to be brave about it?" and I said "Huh?" and he said "Go get your tatto."

So, we got to Wild Child's, which is the tatto place our family goes to because the owner, Wild Child, has been a family friend for YEARS and YEARS, since we first moved to Arkansas when I was 3, and there is just no one else I'd have trusted that much.

The tatto Adam was referring to is the Butterfly tatto I've had planned for years...since around the time I met Manda.

It's based off of Jimmy Eat World's song "For Me This Is Heaven". There's a line that says "Can you still feel the butterflies?" and I used the butterflies to remind me of another line in the song: "If I don't let myself be happy now then when."

I got them on the inside of my left forearm, because I see that part of my body a lot, and it's a constant reminder.

There are also other meanings attatched to it now, but yes...anyways........

Manda's always known about that one....so it was awesome having her there holding my hand while I got it done. *laughs* There are three butterflies, which are, histarically enough, modeled after the butterflies on Manda's car-seat covers (they were the exact type of butterflies I wanted, and I didn't have a picture, so we took a picture of Manda's car-seat covers, lol). They are, starting from the top, teal, purple, and pink. (^-^)

It didn't hurt like I thought it would. It seriously was not bad at all, and I can't wait to get my other tatto's done.

Manda decided she didn't want to get pierced after all, so then we went to get my hair cut.

I was more nervous about getting my hair lopped off than I was about getting inked, lol.

But....I took printed pictures of Questionable Content's Faye (my favorite character) that Manda had printed out for me 'cause I was out of ink, showed them to the beautician, and voila. My hair is poofed.

Here is the proof:


There goes my ass-length hair.



Then we came home and yes....things were just awesome. *big smile*

Now, I'm off to dye my hair and cry my eyes out.

I miss her like hell.

-Manda

Oh. P.S. As of the 7th, I'm 19. WTF! I'm working on 20 O.O
