I'd never make it through without you around

HEY GANG! (I don't really know why I'm calling you gang since only 2 of my friends know about this blog and I highly doubt anyone else reads this...also said 2 friends are not even in town) BUT anyways today I did a whole lot of nothing. I had to take my senior photo at 3:45 so I woke up around 11 like a lazy bum. because I didn't want to ruin my hair, I didn't go for a run. that sounds so stupid but it worked for me as a lame excuse not to run. then I literally watched TV all day and relaxed and again, I used the excuse that I had to take my all important photos. then, after the long build up of nothingness all day, I went to the picture place and the annoying, smiling lady made me pose 1000 different ways until I was done. it only took like 10 minutes for the entire process and it felt so absolutely ridiculous that I wasted the entire day and got all dolled up for THAT. and my mom informed me many times before I got my picture taken that this photo was "sooooo important" because it would be a "defining photo for the rest of my life" and blahhhh blah blah blah blahhhh. ok well thank you mom no pressure there! that just seems so dumb to me! how can one picture define your life? also I laughed because I've never seen either of my parent's senior photos so that is just ridiculous. anyways that was an annoying rant so ill stop now. well then I went shopping with my momma so that was fun. and then I met up with 3 of my close friends that I haven't seen in forever. so it was really nice to see them and enjoy CPK pizza which was delicious!!! so overall today wasn't too bad! the only sad thing was that my best friend that I've mentioned several times in past blogs named Julie left for Italy with her family. she'll be gone for 11 days which is sad but she's gonna have an amazing time! Julie and I spend a LOT of time together. basically I see her everyday and she's always there for me so that's why it'll be sad when she's gone. but it's cool because I think that she probably needs some time awayyyyy from me and my craziness!!! but in honor of her departure, I fittingly chose the song "Hey Julie" by Fountains of Wayne. so here it is....

Hey Julie

Working all day for a mean little man
With a clip-on tie and a rub-on tan
He's got me running 'round the office like a dog around a track
But when I get home,
You're always there to rub my back

Hey Julie,
Look what they're doing to me
Trying to trip me up
Trying to wear me down
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it
And I'd never make it through without you around

Hours on the phone making pointless calls
I got a desk full of papers that means nothing at all
Sometimes I catch myself staring into space
Counting down the hours 'til I get to see your face

Hey Julie,
Look what they're doing to me
Trying to trip me up
Trying to wear me down
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it
And I'd never make it through with out you around
No, I'd never make it through with out you around

How did it come to be
That you and I must be
Far away from each other every day?
Why must I spend my time
Filling up my mind
With facts and figures that never add up anyway?
They never add up anyway

Working all day for a mean little guy
With a bad toupee and a soup-stained tie
He's got me running 'round the office
Like a gerbil on a wheel
He can tell me what to do
But he can't tell me what to feel

Hey Julie,
Look what they're doing to me
Trying to trip me up
Trying to wear me down
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it
And I'd never make it through with out you around
No, I'd never make it through without you around
No, I'd never make it through with out you around

ok so clearly this song is sung by a guy to his girlfriend/wife/mack Julie....and so if I interpreted this song literally it would be super duper weird. so I won't do that! basically...besides the fact that this song has Julie's name in it, it also just totally encompasses our relationship just because even though I complain about so much stupid stuff and feel like I have a tough life (which I totally don't), Julie is always always always there to help me out, and I'd never make it through without her around. she hates when people compliment her and she's hard on herself, and I bet she's cringing reading this entire blog but I don't care because she is just a gem and I love her for always being there for me. it's super weird because we only got really close about 2 years ago, and before then, I never had just one, clear cut best friend. but now, without a doubt, when someone asks me who my closest friend is, I'd say Julie instantly. I'd hope she'd say the same about me but either way...she's definitely my go to girl. we always have so much fun, and I love that we are so close that we can finish eachother's thoughts. it can be creepy at times but I always feel better knowing that she's only a text message away! I think the moral of this blog is that even though its easy to find yourself wanting a ton of friends and attention, its important to remember that you don't need fake relationships with a whole bunch of people. it's way better to have love from just a few that know you super well instead of spreading yourself thin. so thank you Jules for 1) always being there for me...even when I do weird/crazy stuff like blog about our friendship 2) being positive for me when I know you don't want to 3) helping me to realize that I don't need to spread my love thin

I'd never make it through without you around. NOW GO MACK SOME ITALIAN BOYZ! CIAO BELLA!
