Friendshipping on Facebook

Facebook is a great way of communicating your feelings. For instance, let's say, this is hypothetically speaking of course, that I asked someone to be my friend on facebook and they never reply. Well, then they have told me without ever having to look at me in the eye, "I don't really want to be your friend or get to know you better." It's great! The only problem is that I still feel saddened and embarrassed :( I feel like this branch; alone, lifeless, and colorless. Ouch.

Katja

What a week it's been. My friend Katja came to visit from Ireland and we planned as many activities as we could. Katja and I met when I was visiting Ireland three years ago. I was in Dublin and decided to go to church that Sunday. Church was great, except for the fact that the Bishop had such a heavy Irish accent, I could only understand every other word. I loved it! After church this cute girl came up to me and saidn "Hi, I'm Katja, can I show you around?" We hung out for the next three days after that. She was memorable. We've kept in touch for the last couple of years and I was very excited she was able to come to visit. Unfortunately, the first day she was here, I had to work and so we were only able to have lunch together, then we came back to my house for her to rest and me to go to cook and go to (I had to make a fruit salad for work that night) but we ended up just talking and I never got to sleep. Which was okay since I had been so excited for her to come. We also hung out with my roommate's brother, Tom, who was visiting for a couple of days.
Instead of giving long explainations about the stuff we did, I will just give a list: Snowboarding (it was our first time and we were scared beyond belief. But it turned out to be a blast and a lot easier than we imagined. We decided that this year we will be focusing on doing one thing a month that we have never done before. Snowboarding was our January adventure), wedding, lunch with some old friends of Katja's (the friend's mother made lunch. I can't begin to tell you how delicious it was!), traveling to see a comedy that ended up being cancelled (sucked since we drove quite a bit away to see it), New Years with many cool friends (great fireworks), Seeing "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," a must see in my personal opinion, breakfast (Katja doesn't always have access to waffles and eggs in Ireland like they do here), shopping (I think Katja's my lucky star because I've never found as many cool things with such great deals), long and wonderful conversations about everything and everyone, dancing, temple sessions, dates, a mixture of different foods for lunch/dinner that Katja has never tried, game night, movie night, Body Worlds Museum (It was my second time and Katja's first time. Another must see), and much more that I think I am too tired at this moment to mention.
