Groups of friends and random road trips!

Yesterday, G! and a couple of other people came back from a weekend trip to NYC that I decided to sit out on. What a mistake! And I’ll tell you, I regretted that decision right smack in the middle of the weekend.

Anyway, it was a pretty boring weekend without them around (and even more quiet!), but they came back full of stories and telling me they missed me and that I should have gone (I know, I know!)

C came back with a car (thank god) and she’s just this girl full of life and energy and spontenaity that I admire to no end. She got the itch to just go somewhere (which is an itch I often find myself wanting to have scratched), so we gathered N and G! and started driving. G! and I talked about exchanging email addresses and writing to each other (the internship ends in 6 days!).

We ended up in Philly. We parked around 10th and South Street and walked all the way down to the Delaware River and back (at least I think it’s the Delaware). Then we were talking so much that we missed our turn and ended up in Delaware. Woohoo, so now I’ve officially been to Delaware ;-)

I think it was really what I needed. I regret not going with them to NYC, but thats in the past now. I needed to just get out and do something fun with people. I dont have friends that go “lets take a road trip!” and on top of that, I dont have a group of friends – none of my friends are friends with each other! So I dont have those moments in the car where theres 2 conversations going on and you cant hear anything, you’re arguing over what music to play on the radio, and you cant walk down the sidewalk shoulder to shoulder because you dont fit.
