Good Day

So today was a blast. I had plans with Alexandra to go to EPCOT with some friends of her’s from work who turned out to be simpy delightful to hang out with. We ended up creating “a family” of sorts. We met Princess Aurora and I had a friend, Kaitlin, that I went to high school with that I thought would be just perfect for the part.

But we started riding some of the rides, such as Ellen’s Energy Adventure which I am embarrassed to say I liked...long story. Anyways, after we knocked down a few of the attractions, we went to dine in China at the world exhibition. It was very good, and very expensive for what I got. I got General Tso’s dumplings in a tangy red Chinese Sauce which ended up tasting a lot like barbacue sauce. It was eleven bucks for simply that. So disappointed, I go search for dessert. The girls decide to get gelato, and they get me to pronounce the flavors and different creations they had at the stand. I choose to go to France for the delectible-looking pastries I saw last time. I got a chocolate crossiant, mostly due to an impossible sense of indecisiveness in a baked goods shop. Like really, what did I expect? Nicole, one of my new friends/family members, got a fantastic chocolate eclair that she was so gracious to share with me and Alexandra (or Alex for short, Al for super short, and X for even shorter) got something called Sarag- something. It looked divine, a creuler type confection laced with a plethora of chocolate chips and glazed with a light sugar coating. It was the suggestion of the bakery girl’s, who was from France...obviously, and her favorite she claims.

After that, she wanted to go watch Fantasmic, the finale show at Hollywood Studios. I have been wanting one of those Mickey Ice cream sandwiches for the longest time and I planned on getting one there. But when we got there (which is another story by itself, I shall tell it in the next paragraph...stay tuned), they girls decided to go to Ghirardelli and I immediately changed my mind.

Okay so how we got there. There is a boat that will take you from EPCOT to Hollywood Studios. Well we thought this would be a good idea. I remembered that you could also walk there, recalling the sidewalk outside the pond outside the park on my way to work once. Nicole asks the man how long the walk is, and he says it’s about a mile. They decided walking would be fine. However, it’s quite a hike, and not as clear cut as we might have liked it to be. There were a whole bunch of different paths extending from the boardwalk down there. So I ask fro directions from a man in a hotel as Liam. We find out the right way and Alexandra and I were jokingly bickering to each other. So Nicole and I take off running as a joke. However, Nicole abandons the joke, but I kept it going. I hate when I do that, when I take it too far. Anyways, they decide to take the boat. But I run the rest of the way there. I thought a little bit of exercise couldn’t hurt. So...technically, not an entirely long story, and it was a little boring and not very exciting, but still.

We go Downtown, and they decide to ditch out on Ghirardelli and get “something of substance.” What could be more substancial then the Heavenly God-send that is chocolate? But they wanted a burger or something for cheap. So we, of course, go to McDonald’s. I get the kid’s meal. Oh no, I’m regressing. I get a guniea pig I wasn’t to fond of, so I gave it to Alexandra. She gratefully cherished it. I was told that she had chocolate at her place. So naturally I went, after the rest of our family departed.

When we get to her apartment, her roommates have...a busy life. And that’s all I got to say about that. However, I end up spending the night on her floor, not in an abusive sort of way, but just because... Anyways, we stay up with all night, quite literally all night watching I Love Lucy (for which Alexandra has a love or kind of obsession for) and watch Moulin Rouge as we belt out the songs to each other, realizing only today that we are both theatre kids.

That’s the shrt version about just about everything that happened today. Although there is one last thing I’d like to commentate on, if I may (as if this is your blog and I’m asking you permission...)

God. He’s just...simply put, wonderful. I feel his presence all the time. I seriously believe he is like my best friend who is always there with me. I feel my heart swell up with love and appreciation for all this day has brought me and I thank him humbly for it. I never thought that God could be a companion, rather than simply creator and Father. But this is a different kind of friendship for me. A lot of the friendships I have consist of me being the caring, loving, supporting friend. The one people come to when they have troubles and I help them through it. But it’s nice for someone to do that for me. For someone to have this powerful and unconditional love for me, that always provides me with the care, love, and harmony I need to exist in day to day life. I’m constantly being amazed by the countless blessings he’s always bestowing upon me. I don’t know what more to say other than that God is...good.
