Day 83 of returning from the grave because i just have to share

I'm on hiatus but I just had to make a blog post! I've got so much to talk about and then I'll go back to the grave...

• My friend is back!!!
• I am touched!!! 
• Milkshake review!
• Seeing my Family friend again!
• Future plans 

My friend went on vacation and I have been sad since he left and traveled overseas. I would sit by the window and sigh repeatedly in the evenings, awaiting his return. No, I'm kidding, I've spoken too much about the misery and the Paranoia and wanting to return to school again for some reason and while I was always reluctant to visit, I usually visited him because he always makes me feel better. Not that I'm reluctant to see him, I'm just reluctant to see him in such a sorry state, yk? Like I always get so anxious, what would he think if he saw me like this? He always welcomes me into his home with excitement. He finally returned though! That was a few days ago, I allowed him the time to get over his jetlag and I visited him today. We did something that we've been planning for months now, where we play every single Mario Kart track in Mario Kart 8 deluxe including dlc, we got about halfway and it was fun, we just chatted about whatever, it was fun, I really missed him. When he left for vacation, I gave him a big hug, call me gay! I am and don't care! I'm glad I saw him again. That's not all though...

He got souvenirs!!! Im touched and I told him not to spend too much money on me but then he was like bringing up the times I took him out to eat. I only started doing that last year if Im being honest because I was really stingy but this year, my friend went through some tough times so I tried to be there for him, not just by showing up or whatever but I can't say we have the same experiences but I know these things can be a slippery slope and in times like that it's good to get out of the house so I started treating to him things, like we'd go to restaurants and the movies, just the two of us to get his mind off things and I always insisted on paying. I used to be one of those "everyman for themselves" kinda people but I like the feeling of giving. Anyway, these past few months especially, I've taken him out plenty and so today he repaid me, he didn't have to do that!!! Im touched already!! Lemme show you what he got me though...

He got me this Peanuts shirt, he listened!! That's what friends do, of course, they listen but I always think people are faking being my friend so I didn't think he'd pick up on my love for Peanuts. I love Peanuts though! I love it!!! I love this shirt too!!! I was complaining about not having summer wear but then he got me this!!! Someone stop from wearing this all day, every day!

Then he got me this clam with a pearl in it! Why is this so me! I don't know how to describe it!! He gets me!!! I have this deep love for the ocean, I'm very corny about it too. I just love the ocean, I'm like Ishmael from Moby Dick, he gets this yearning to go out on a boat. Sometimes I get this yearning to go to the beach and just look at the ocean. How did he know???? I've never publicly stated that!! Have I??? 

What a Saint!! I am so touched!! Im so happy that he gets me!! I want to make it up to him somehow!! I'll get searching! Lots of exclamation marks, let's get serious real quick, I am a (semi) professional reviewer after all and I have to keep up my appearances...

I went to a restaurant this evening and we'll get into that but for now, I need to drop a milkshake review. This isn't in real time and it's out of my wheelhouse but I have to drop this. I know I usually review coffee and I tried to order coffee but the waiter came at such a bad time, i was chewing my food, he comes up to me and asks me if I want anything else to drink (I have already had the milkshake at this point and was thinking of ordering another drink) and I wanted to review this place's coffee so I have a mouthful of food and he's waiting and I want coffee so I cover my mouth and ask him for coffee in a muffled tone. He agrees and I am anticipating a steaming cup of Joe but he comes out with a can of coke. I'm too polite to send it back though so I drank it! I guess we can review the milkshake though.

The friend that i had visited today keeps recommending me this specific milkshake from the restaurant that I was at later that day, the popcorn milkshake which I ordered. Here she is...

Ok, review time! I was surprised at how good this was, he was right! He was so right for that, it works so well, it's caramel popcorn and it tastes sweet but not overbearing like popcorn usually is and I loved the flavor. I do have a few gripes though, it was too thick and it made my stomach ache, that's it. That is my few gripes. It was good!! If this wasn't a local chain, I'd recommend it!

I did mention that I'd provide context about the restaurant situation. After I visited my friend, I had reservations with my family and these family friends of ours at a local restaurant that I loved so I was excited! My sister and my family friend sat at a table together. I'm really attracted to my family friend's cousin and I thought she would be there so I got all dolled up, I put on my face creams and lip balm and did my hair and she wasn't there. Sucks to suck... I still enjoyed the food but I got really sick after a while and I just felt like collapsing on the table, the dairy...the dairy! Anyway, I tried making conversation with my family friend but sometimes I find it really difficult to, he's in his edgy phase and I remember I went to his house once and he showed me a video where someone did blackface, like straight up just black face. This is a very popular YouTuber too, I want to call him out but I cannot find the video where he does it so I look like a crazy person but I know what I saw, I saw him with black paint on his face. Anyway, he's at that age where he doesn't really understand the gravity of things and when I was younger and he showed me edgy stuff, I usually just fake laughed but I realized that he looks up to me, I'm 5 years older than him and it's up to me to show him that it's not okay, I don't really know how to explain to him how bad that sort of content is so when he shows me something edgy, I usually just give a cold response and then when he shows me something else I give him a warmer response. That's a discussion for another day though, not this 'discussion' but the discussion with my family friend. I actually just got back from that restaurant and I ordered pizza. I wanna eat healthy again so I had one with pepper because I love bell peppers and avocado and bacon and it wasn't oily, it was just really balanced. I liked it. I need to eat healthy.

That was my day! I want to thank you all for reading this one. I really appreciate it, I hope I never become full of myself because when people tell me they like my blogs or whatever, I light up. Let's not get corny, Im stopping this right here before we get too corny! I wanted to talk about future plans, the daily blogs are returning sooner than expected, this one doesn't count, I wanna start on Monday again because I have school Wednesday so I need to prepare and get into the swing of things before school starts. I look forward to writing these blogs again and I'm gonna focus on improvement once more, the vacation arc is reaching its conclusion and I don't know if I'll write again before the end of the vacation arc but thank you all, again! This vacation has been a mixed bag and I felt really terrible and paranoid and sometimes it's nice to come online, on Spacehey and engage with my moots (do people still use that word) for a while. Thank you, I'll see you when I do!
