enlightening moment of the week

i was chatting online with josh, an old friend from middle school in WI. since middle school (the last time we saw each other), he's evolved into this sort of hippie/granola/frisbee-playing/ guitar-rocking comedian who is probably the most laid-back person on the planet. he was also my boyfriend for about two months, which is pretty much a lifetime in 7th grade. can't get more committed than that, except for the fact that he had our friend jim be the one who actually asked me out on josh's behalf. oh life.

anyway, we were discussing middle school and all its drama, and he mentioned that he was, at one time, intimidated by me. i asked him how so, and he said (in his new hippie way),

"you were, and likely still are, this fireball of energy that ran around like mad but still managed to be cool about everything. you were basically what i like to call organized chaos. it was hot, believe me. i didn't know how to handle it, which is why i sort of freaked out about asking you out."

i am going to, at this moment, rename this blog.
