Of Friends and Other Thoughts.

Hello, dearest readers. I hope that you are well.
Currently, my mother and youngest sister are sitting beside me and reading over my shoulder. Fond family. I had the outline of a most agreeable entry in my head, but it deserted me as soon as their eyes lit upon this formerly empty page. So, I shall have to muddle on as best I can.
Hmmm, where to begin? Nope, lost that thought. Let me begin again.
HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Hmph. Well, I reread Pride and Prejudice last week. If you haven't read it, you should do so with all haste. And now I am reading Sense and Sensibility again. Thus far, the Dashwood ladies have just entered the country of Devonshire and are meeting Sir John Middleton and Co. So, Jane Austen is my current reading material of choice.
Today was very beautiful, weather-wise. Warm and sunny and breezy. Very lovely.
Sarah and Mom are gone to bed. Now I can get down to the nitty-gritty. LoL.
I hope, my dear readers, that none of you are without that pleasure that is a best friend. Life is missing something when one doesn't have one. I am more fortunate than most in that I have 2, not counting my mother and sisters. Katie A. and Sara S. I think I will talk about them now.
I will begin with Sara S. because I knew her first. We've known each other since diaper-hood, but became best friends in about 6th grade. She is smart and funny and beautiful and sweet. Unfortunately, she lives in Vermont, so I haven't seen her in at least...well, since she moved away. Maybe she moved when we were in 6th grade, and we were best friends since 4th grade...either way, it matters not. She is my friend who has had a boyfriend, and so seems more worldly-wise to me. She also got her heart broke over that guy, but thankfully, she is better now. I love her to death.
Katie A. is my friend whom I think of as innocent. I have known her and been best friends with her since...before 7th grade, approx. when she moved here from Kansas or some such place. She is my friend who is a great reader, who loves Jane Austen and the Brontes and Georgette Heyer and other such things. She is also smart and funny and veryvery sweet and beautiful, but her beauty is more glamorous, like the actresses in the 40s and 50s. She is home-schooled, like myself. She moved away to Texas about 2 years ago. She has lived practically *everywhere*. She is my well-traveled friend, having been to England (lucky little squirt). She is my kind and generous friend, who likes to think well of people. (Sometimes. We gossip horribly sometimes, alas.) I also love her to death.
Now I am feeling nostalgic. >sniff<. Oh well. :D
What else is there to talk about? Haven't heard back from BJU officially, yet. I have had a couple of phone calls just as normal procedure, but nothing like an acceptance letter or a 'sorry, we don't want you in our college' letter. I hope something will come this week, but I don't know if my hopes will be fulfilled or crushed.
I think I must go. I want to look over my blog before I go to bed. Adiue, fair ones! Be well, and know that thou are loved.
Farewell. :D
