meet-ups with Jo-Ann and other stories

she drove us to homebush and i was feeling super very excited bc........ SHE'S DRIVING!! AND SHE DRIVES SO NORMALLY LIKE SHE WAS A SEASONED AUSSIE ON DA ROADS hellzyeah. she blasted 'pretty hurts' by beyonce and we just belted out the tunes with the windows down, it was so legit. and the weather was ~~ so fine ~~ ◕‿ ◕

jo: "i love it how when we're together i get all mature."

we've all grown up, we can feel it in our bones. i realize how the angst of adolescence has dissipated into mild embarrassment now (retrospective regrets and 'why did i ever think that way' moments). jeez i really was too caught up in myself, assuming the absolute worst in people because i couldn't respect my own self, harbouring distrust and insecurities in my friends, thinking that a tortured soul was an interesting one. what a life.
i'm so glad i met jo-ann, who saw me at my worst yet saw past that and acted crazy together anyway throughout chinese class.

yesterday, i said something she wholeheartedly agreed with and she exclaimed "YES, YES EXACTLY" i honestly thought she was going to swerve into the wrong lane. ^ it's always kinda amazing how similar our views are it's hilarious

oh we had thousand spices which was in the middle of school and central, where we both reside. fancier than i thought it would be. i chose chickpea curry while jo had the surprisingly good tomato-based cottage cheese curry. i appreciate hot, thick curry everytime, really i do.
