Reasons why today was great, regardless of the fact I only left the apartment once:

8. I rearranged the living room.
7. Sam brought home a Hellboy 2 poster.
6. I realized I have a genuine friend here. I spent 7 hours with Breanna and when she left I actually felt a little sad cause I didn't want her to go. I can't wait for her to move in with me next semester, it's gonna be incredible. She reminds me a lot of Danielle - no one will ever replace her but it's nice to know that there's more than one person in the world who I'm almost completely compatible with.
5. I bought two giant bags of candy (tootsie pops and mini take 5's) for 2 dollars. The day after Halloween sales are the fucking best. I had to stop myself from buying every 50% off thing they had.
4. I had Panera for the first time in months, probably since I worked there. Creamy tomato soup will never get old. The manager laughed after overhearing me yell at Breanna for putting the utensils in the wrong spot in the little dishes bin and we had some Panera-talk which was hilarious. I miss that place sometimes, only for the fact that there really were some fucking characters there.
3. Me and Breanna watched my old Manson DVD. I literally haven't watched it for at least 5 years. It was nice connecting with my inner mall goth and reminiscing about how fucking ugly and greasey I was.
2. I'm eating home made pumpkin pie right now thanks to Britt.

And the number 1 reason why my day was so great.

1. KEN BOUGHT HIS TICKET TO VISIT. He'll be landing in Chicago at 12:15 pm on Monday, November 24th. I'm so fucking excited, I don't have words to describe how much I miss him and can't wait to be in his arms. Fuck it, I don't care how lame this all sounds. I love him so much and some days I really can't contemplate how I'm going to live 4 years here without him being here to help me through it. It's been so hard but I'm also really proud that we're making it through it.
