Not much to update at the moment. I finally finished all my dorm unpacking after 2 weeks of trying to clear it out of the living room. Now I'm left with complete freedom (besides summer school starting soon and trying to find a job) to focus on redoing my room, which still needs a lot of work. I plan on starting to paint the walls tomorrow! Cross your fingers that it looks all right. So I don't have much to tell, but I did find this rather lengthy quote from Chasing Amy with Ben Affleck and Jason Lee. My feelings about the movie are mixed, but there is this one quote which I really enjoy and I think Ben Affleck covers it pretty well.



"I love you, do you love me? I love you and not in a friendly way, although I think we're great friends. And not in a misplaced attraction puppy dog way although I'm sure that's what you call it. I love you, very simply, very truly. You're the epitome of everything I've ever looked for in another human being and I know you think of me as just a friend and crossing that line is the furthest thing from an option you'd ever consider. But I had to say it, I just can't take this anymore, I can't stand next to you without wanting to hold you, I can't look into your eyes without feeling that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels, I can't talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are. And I know this will probably like queer our friendship, but I had to say it cause I've never felt this way before and I don't care, I like who I am because of it. And if bringing this out tonight means that we can't hang out anymore then that hurts me but God I couldn't allow another day without getting it out there regardless of the outcome, which by the look on your face, is to be the inevitable shoot down and you know I'll accept that but I know, I know that some part of you is hesitating for a moment and if there is a moment of hesitation then that means you feel something too and all I ask is that you please not dismiss that and try to dwell on it for just 10 seconds. There isn't another soul on this whole planet who has made me half of the person I am when I'm with you. And I'd risk this friendship for a chance to take it to the next plateau because it's there between you and me you can't deny that. Even if we never talk again after tonight please know that I am forever changed because of who you are and what you've meant to me."
