Jennrific

Hello Ladies (And Michael, if you’re still out there somewhere),

So much has happened since I last wrote. And so much of it can’t be explained with just a sentence or two. I have to do it Tarantino style, flash back, flash forward, show now, show then, show sometime inbetween.

And I’m a horrible writer. So… No promises that your eyes wont be bleeding by the time this one is over.

Over the many many years that I’ve had this OD I have made some friends. I have Favorites (Notice, lack of letter U) =P

Well one of these favorites is Jennrific. She hops around from OD to OD, so I can never truly keep her on my Favorites list, but we always talk on Yahoo! Messenger.

We’re like peas and carrots.

Peanut butter and Jelly.

She’s always there for me. She has been my closest companion through everything. Even the hard things, like my Nicki drama.

Flowers Jennrific drew for me when I was feeling down.

The first time she ever noted me was here: http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=A621541&entry=20117&mode=date

However, after we became friends, she began noting ALL of my entries. There’s not an entry on this diary that doesn’t have a note of hers on it (Unless I prevented Notes). Hell, some entries have 50+ notes on it from her. You ladies can’t see her notes, because she’s a very private individual, and all of her notes are private.

Well Jennrific is also a gamer! And we’ve played many a games together. Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 3 (love!), World of Warcraft (See WoW Entry), Gemfire (not long though), Go Fish!, Battleship…

In all honesty, she is like one of my best friends.

She’s always pressuring me to write entries. Because she likes to snoop. She likes to probe the personalities of people. Here’s just one example of an entry due to her, and only her: http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=A621541&entry=20151&mode=date

I just feel so stupid, and like an Ass (but the Ass part will be explained later). Jennrific is a great girl, and I was too busy weeping over my Nicki troubles to even see it. So no matter what I write in this OD, or what pictures I post, or what accomplishments I achieve… always remember that I am just a giant dumbass.

Now as for the Ass part, Jennrific and I had gotten into an argument 6 months back. Well. Some would say it was a miscommunication, but that’s not the focus of this entry. Point is, we stopped talking.

And for 6 months, Jennrific beat herself up. She went to shit. Over me. And I feel horrible about that. I didn’t realize it, but I was doing to Jennrific what Nicki did to me. And I just feel awful about that. She showed me some of the entries she had written while we weren’t speaking… and they look so much like mine when I was hurting from Nicki, that I just feel terrible.

Well… onwards.

So we started speaking again recently. Friends again. And it turns out that we both like each other. In the more-than-just-friends kind of way.

I decided I was going to finally go and meet her. Which would make her the 1st OpenDiary person I have ever met IRL. And I went and visited for 2 days (Stayed in a hotel, for the dirty-minded readers).

And of course, she just so happens to be even MORE beautiful than her pictures. Why does it always work out like that?

I was kind of nervous going to meet her because I know I’m different IRL than I am here on OD or online. But we hit it off very well, I think.

She has a nice family, nice pets, a nice house in a nice neighborhood. It’s all nice. Even the weather was pleasant while I was there.

Heh. She was telling me how her little brother has super long fingers, and they always like to have him flick them off just because it looks so weird with his unusually long middle finger.

And later that day, he just so happened to stop by. So this is how meeting him went:

Bruce: Hey, Keith right? I’m Bruce.
Keith: Hey.
Bruce: I know this is gonna sound odd, but can you flick me off? I heard you have unusually long fingers.

And then he did. And indeed, he has unusually long fingers. And it was great. =)

Jennrific and I played Go Fish! with REAL cards (We usually have to play in a Yahoo! Game room), and suddenly my luck is a little better IRL. I actually won a decent amount of times!

… Annnnnd I found out that Jennrific is a sore loser. Haha.

At the end of the 1st day, at night, we were sitting on the couch, and I asked her to go get her little psychology workbook that she has, and that we’d go through the questions.

It’s hard to open up for me. And that book did not ask easy questions. “What are you hiding about yourself that you don’t want others to see? Why?” (and other such questions)

But I did my best. And I think I opened up a lot to her. And she answered questions too. And I felt a connection with her. It was nice. We just… sat there on the couch together.

Our hugs got longer and longer each time. I like to hold her in my arms. I like talking with her. I like where we’re at right now.

I don’t know what the future has in store for either of us… but I hope that she’ll continue to be my closest friend in life.

PS – And like I said, Jennrific does read all of my entries. So you ladies feel free to say Hi to her in your notes… she’ll see them! =)
