Didn't do much today. Went to the Galleria with Nicole to get birthday presents for Alisha & Dani. It's really hard buying stuff for someone else, especially if you're super picky about what to buy, like me. I kept thinking, "If I don't like it, then they won't like it." I'm pretty sure our presents did my personal mantra for the day justice. Ooh, they're opening a Gordon Biersch there in September. There was construction on the second floor next to the food court & it looked strangely small for a restaurant. Like, not even the size of a McDonald's. idk, I guess we'll see what it looks like in a month's time. We went into this new store that looked a lot like the Hollister storefront called Gilly Hicks. It was like the Victoria's Secret of Hollister. It was dark & sexual. No, really. Pictures of nearly naked people all over the walls. I love how A&F, Hollister, & Gilly Hicks were all in the same area. Seeing as how their storefronts look like actual buildings, it was like walking in a rich white person's neighborhood. Not my cup of tea. haha. We got into my car & Nicole realized she didn't have her phone so we ran all the way back to Gilly Hicks where she left it. Some trashy white girl told us she gave it to the people up front. It's nice to know there are honest people in this world, even if you look like a hot mess.

I was craving Leatherby's ice cream, so I treated Nicole to some. Every time we eat, we talk about hella serious stuff. I love that as unserious as we always are, there are those serious moments that we have that always makes me think. She definitely made me think today. Friendships, love, the future, relationships, whatever. She's like my own personal Oprah. Except not old. haha. But anyway, I'm trying to reevaluate a lot of things I'm going through right now & just take baby steps in dealing with them. I don't know how I'm gonna get there or how long it'll take. At least I have a handful of friends that will help me get through some rough times. Lately I've been really irritated with the smallest things & I really just wanna be alone most of the time. A lot of stuff has just been piling up that I don't feel like dealing with people. I've been such a homebody lately that the only place I ever go to now is the gym. But I really like all this time to myself.

I guess I'm doing better. So far.
