weird connections

I feel like I need to blog, but I really don't know what to blog about, so I'm just sort of running with it.

Have you ever met a person, whether it be online, as a friend of a friend or something like that, or in person and you just thought: man, I need to get to know this person! I experience that more than most people I guess. There are quite a few people in my life right now, who I talk to occasionally (but what to talk to more), that fit that criteria. There have also been a lot of people in my past, who I am now good friends with who I have talked to for that reason. (Also there are people who I would still like to talk to, but seem to want nothing to do with me, which is their choice entirely, and I can't really do a damn thing about).

I don't know if anyone else has this sort of thing happen, but this is how I met my best friend :) I hope she doesn't mind me talking about this....
I met her in college, we were having a game night in the dorms soon after I started school, and when I met her, all I could think was, "dude, I NEED to be her friend!" She was just so awesome, that I knew that I needed to be friends with her. Fast forward like what, 9 weeks? And she is off to Ireland and I am missing her dearly. That's all the time I really spent with her, about 9-10 weeks, and she is my best friend. We talk all the time, and I go to visit her as often as I can, which isn't often enough, let me tell you. That was one of the first times I have had this feeling, and it turned out great!

I experienced that again lately, with someone who I met online, and while that person isn't talking to me at the moment, I really wish they would. There is quite a back story here that I won't get into, but I really miss them. I don't know if they read this, but if they do....I miss you. I know you don't want to be together in a romantic way, but I'd still very much like to be friends. You are an awesome person.

Also, there are another couple of people who fit this category who I can't decide if I am romantically interested in or not. I just don't know. I want to get to know both of these people better, once, because she seems awesome, and has a life view on things that makes me think. When I talk to her, she makes me calm, and makes me feel like it's ok to do things that I'm doing. The other, well, I sort of know him. I've had crushes on him in the past, and I just like to way his mind things. I would be terribly happy to dissect his head, and hear how he thinks on certain things. I feel a weird strange connection to him, espeically lately, that I can't seem to understand.

Does anyone else ever have feelings like this? Is it just me? Is this God's way of telling me to meet certain people, and putting them in my life since I'm rather introverted? I don't know. If you know, enlighten me.

Hmmm, that went pretty good for not having anything to say! I actually have MORE to say, but since I'm supposed to meet my mom for dinner in 30 mins and I haven't showered yet, that will have to wait.

(this would be the part where I would put a peace sign.....but the keyboard doesn't have one....so.......someone work on this for me, k?)
