Day 24: Operation Mod Cloth Pin Up

I do believe I have talked to every member of Daily Gratitude today. Kelli and I discussed how we're going to take over the world. Lauren and I had a quick exchange about women in rubber. Amy and I have talked about her ability to read my mind and her being hid beneath a bar. Clare and I talked food and shared some random love. And bonus: I'm txting with my college roommate right now.

Today has been a day of friends. Some conversations were silly, and some of them were serious. Some lasted longer than others. But it felt so good to connect with so many good friends. One of my biggest fears when I moved was that people would either forget about me or brand me as "that girl who went fucking crazy." And people have done that. I've lost touch with a lot of people, and I've heard some less than awesome whispers through Ye Olde Grapevine. But I honestly don't give a damn because the people who meant the world to me before the move have stayed a constant fixture in my life after the move. It's not a method I recommend for finding out who your friends are (even though it's incredibly effective). But I'm not as heartbroken with the results as I thought I would be. I still have the people that mean the most to me, the people who I would want to be there if I ever sustain blunt head trauma and decide I'd like to get married.

I am incredibly grateful. These people (the ones listed and a few others) have managed to change my life and make sure that it didn't change all that much. As a girl with major commitment/attachment issues, I never expected to feel this way about a person. I never even dreamed I would feel this way about people.

Thank you. Really. Thank you.

My list of gratefulness goes like this:
  • ModCloth.com - I spent a little while today looking through their stock and rationalizing that I could totally make some of their stuff part of my work wardrobe, thus making it a legit purchase.
  • Kelli joining me in my plot for world domination - We have a pretty solid plan worked out. Watch out, World. (And we're going to look damn fabulous while we do it too!)
  • fun cook books
  • Clare's willingness to let me hit her up for vegetarian recipes when I run out of my own
  • today's weather - It was gorgeous sunshine, a hundred degrees and breezy. Perfect.
