:D:D:D:D:D

Something that happened yesterday made me really happy. So happy that I forgot to blog about it.

So here we go:

I get to class around 10, sit down and wait for the prof. to arrive. In the mean time, I tune up some jams on my ipod [Relient K ftw] for about 15 min. until the prof. comes. He tells us to arrange the seating so that we all sit in a circle facing one another. We do self-introductions where everyone gives everyone else a lil' background on themselves. It gets to me. Like always, I'm nervous because I am never good at these kinds of things [though I have to say, I improved a lot more than before]. Anyway, I tell how I came here when I was 2, be the youngest of 4 sons, and how I take care of my mom and clean up after my 25+ year old brothers who always leave junk around the house. I also listed that I enjoyed art and other random shit. Then I went on about my childhood and how it was like growing up. I told them this one story that I have rarely shared with anyone until now. When I was younger, my aunts and uncles would always ask me, "How come you don't look like any of your siblings or either of your parents?" I had no answer for them. Like the curious little boy that I was, I went to ask my mom. She said: "Oh. We found you in a trash can one night when your dad and I was walking home. Somebody left you there and didn't want you so we took you home with us and raised you." I can't even begin to describe how depressed I was at that point [can't blame me, a 8-year old brain can't possibly fathom shit like that.], and how I continued to feel like so for 3 or more years. Once I saw pictures of my mom of her younger self, that's when I realized it. I confronted her again and she was like, "Of course it isn't true. You're stupid if you believe something like that." ~_~.

That cracked the whole class up. Some went awwww. I didn't know whether to smile or not lol.

ANYWAYS. To the main point. Class ended shortly after everyone was done talking about themselves and we had to rearrange the chairs back to how they were before. When I was done, I turned around and some girl was like, "Hi. I'm Christina. I sit on the other side. I was really touched by your story. Aww. If you ever need a friend, I'm here for you." Awkward much....? I mean, she seems sweet and is cute but damn, I never expected something like that to happen.

Not many girls introduce themselves to me. In fact, I can't even remember the last time someone did that.

I felt so happy afterwards. She made my day :]. For once in a long time, my heart was at ease for a brief time.

I talked to her again today. I asked if she wanted to chill or something tomorrow and she said sure. :). She also invited me to sit next to her in class so we could get to know each other more. I know I sound like a total loser right now but bear with me, this is seriously the first time I've been this happy in awhile. If anything, I can't lose this chance to get to know someone who can acquiesce my pain. {Acquiesce is another word for ease.]

Sigh.

:D.
