The Axiomatic Musings of a Teen who f***king did it!

I really did it, yeahh!
I f***king did it!
I f***king did it!*

Today was frickin awesome. This whole weekend so far has been, actually.

Rewind to yesterday. It was State Latin Day for one, which is awesome in itself, but when we got back to school Sal and I bumped into Mickey in the hallway. He asked if Sal was busy Saturday night because he was going to have a small Cinco de Mayo party with the rest of the guys. Sal said it sounded fun. Then with five simple words Mickey decided to make my weekend.

"You're welcome to come too!"

And so I did! I f***kin did it! Sal and I first spent the day on a picnic in his neighborhood (with a basket and everything, it was great :D) and studying for our AP Psych exam. Then around 6pm we went to Mickey's. We had salsa and chips, refried bean dip, non-alcoholic sangrias, chicken enchiladas, and a whole lot of fun :D. While the other guys played Magic, Keith and I kept each other company or watched 30 Rock. We watched funny YouTube videos and made jokes...I can't even remember all of them, I just remember laughing, a lot. No being irritated or feeling ignored, no awkwardness. The only bad parts were when Keith was making his signature "not good enough" and "fatty" cracks which I know he doesn't mean but with my history doesn't make me feel great. I didn't let it ruin the evening though :). A couple of the best parts:

Sal and I, in my opinion, had a perfect dynamic tonight. I didn't bug him while he played Magic, he put his arm around me while we were sitting watching TV, and although he was being cute by leaning his head on my shoulder or something sometimes, I don't think it was enough that the other guys were annoyed and wouldn't want me there again. I made a conscious effort with that and I think it worked out. It was really good, because things have been a little rocky for us lately, but now it seems like it's looking up again :).

Jack is hands-down one of the most consistently hilarious people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. From making witty comments about the sexuality of Keith's new roommate to quick one-liners, he just kept cracking me up! And even though he's not traditionally a huge fan of me, he didn't seem to be annoyed that I was there, which was good progress.

I love how the guys interact with each other. At one point someone brought up Drew, Keith's ex-girlfriend, and Keith corrected them that he and Drew weren't actually dating anymore. A couple of the guys hadn't known that yet (I did) because Keith hadn't told them. So he basically told them, they said that was a shame and asked if there was a reason he wanted to talk about, he said no, and they said okay and let it go. If that was a group of girls, they'd descend on him so fast; furious about not being told sooner while demanding details and making death threats to Drew or crying tears of pity and offering Keith a pint of ice cream. But guys just don't; they offer their support but if you seem to be okay, they'll let it go. No drama, no prying, just a silent nod of acceptance. It's great.

So yeah, that was basically it. It was a really awesome day, definitely one of the best overall that I've had in a long while :). I hope Mickey and the others know how much it means to me to feel included. I have a lot of fun with them, I can only hope they don't mind having me there either.

Oh, and on a completely unrelated note, Leonard (and Hope, I guess, because she's always in the pictures xD) have taken to sending me random Snapchats which Sal and I usually return with randomness of our own. It's hilarious, definitely a fun app if you don't have it yet xD.

Hope everyone else had a good Cinco de Mayo. Good luck if you have AP exams this week!!
