Send Help
What if you just saw a sign that said that….what if it wasn’t a sign, but a small message spray painted to the ground? Would you feel obligated to find the person that needs help and help them, or would you feel the need to help everyone in hopes of it one day getting back to that person. You don’t know what you’re supposed to do, as long as you ‘SEND HELP”.
This is the message I saw today. I was walking downtown with my friends and we came upon a church and in front of the church was a small thing spray painted two words on the ground and those two words said, send help. Creepy huh?
But shall I get back to that in a minute? Yes, yes I think I shall.
Today was a half-day at our lovely, glorious school (hate that stupid school), and today was seriously one of the better days where I look back on the day and realize that I have great friends and at least three other people I can plan on always having my back. When we first went downtown we went to Big O’s Café, which is a really cool pizza place that’s kinda sorta underground. The pizza was brilliant and since we all split the pill it was actually pretty cheap. The whole thing was 15.11 I think. I’m pretty sure everyone really enjoyed their lunch, they all even ate both pieces of pizza. Miranda “won” by the way, because she ate her second piece the quickest, she must be soooo proud. After that we went across the bridge by the Amway and saw how flooded the water was, and I was getting a little freaked out by it, not gonna lie. But after taking Katelyn into the Gerald R. Ford Museum so she could go be and getting watched vigorously by a security guard we found that we could get through to the walking bridge without getting swept away in heavy currents of the Grand River. I got some great picture of them all (Miranda, Katelyn, and Miranda), I even got one of all four of us. When we quickly walked back into the main part of the city because we were freezing we went into Barnes N Noble and then we went into Kendall College and looked at their art. I swear the artist there are so talented I was seriously impressed. After that we started a perilous journey to try and find the Calder so we could go on the tire swing that none of us had ever been on. After going through traffic, construction, and lack of signs with directions we found it (it really didn’t take that long), we had fun on the swing. (Not to self: Next time bring adult to push us.) Once again we were freezing so we went to MadCap afterwards. I love MadCap Hot chocolate with a deep deep passion. Yum there hot chocolate was brilliant as always and I once again got some cute pictures. Plus, the chick that was selling the hot chocolate was wearing exactly what you would expect from a coffeeshop worker, she was like adorable in a not weird way. Our last stop of the day was the Grand Rapids Public Library. I think it was nice there and I bought a yummy blueberry muffin.
Me and Katrina ended up spending the night at Miranda’s. So, that’s where I am now. But there has been more awesomeness involved in my day. Whilst at the library I was texting Ethan. You know that boy is really nice, he’s always being nice to me and even though I haven’t actually seen him since 5th grade, I know that if I needed him he’d have my back. Which is always good to know, right? Yes. He quit working at the library café, by the way, it was just too much work over schoolwork. Then I told him that I had actually been looking for him at the library the other day. Well that was a mistake because I got the next 15 minutes of harassment, “Awwwww, you were looking for me! That’s so sweet!”. Aye Aye Aye, Ethan. I miss that boy. Then I told him we were going to Miranda’s house and we were going to go in her hot tub and he was all “Hey can I come!? I love hot tubs then you can see my non-attractive body”, so then we had a REALLY awkward conversation about Ethan and “his body”. I don’t think me and Ethan needed to have that conversation, when a guy basically starts talking about his man-boobs that’s where the conversation ends; apparently I’ve never learned that lesson. Then another one of the most amazing things happened: The Burlingame Dairy Dip opened! So me, Miranda, and Katrina were really stupid souls and braced the 30 degree weather to go get ice cream while walking Buddy and Beanie. It was so worth it!
All in all I have had such and amazing night with my friends, and I’m so glad to have them. What would my life be if I didn’t have them. I wouldn’t even be me anymore without them. Today has been one of those days that will probably go down as an imprinted memory. Something that is permanently embedded in my brain. And do you want to know something, I am so glad that I will hopefully remember today for a long while if not forever.
There is one last thing I need to say while wrinting this. There has been this pretty nice guy talking to Miranda on Facebook who apparently knows Alex so yea…Well he had a really bad day today. This girl who is basically his only friend dissed him and totally told him off. He is now feeling all sad and depressed and like he has nothing left to hold onto. Miranda, under the strange delision that I give good advice told him he should add me and I would tell him how to be happy. Great. I hope she knows I suck at giving advice. Apparently she doesn’t care. So I added him and started giving him “advice”. It was interesting and I feel really bad for him. The thing is though, I don’t know why he wanted to hang out with that girl in the first place she seemed like a real… well you know…. female dog. I think I made him feel a little better. Seriously though, not to sound shallow but if this guy were a little cuter and went to our school I would probably like him, not gonna lie. But he doesn’t so don’t even start accusing me of things otherwise I will totally go off on you! This is where the “Send Help” thing plays in with this post. Maybe, I’m supposed to send help to people in every chance I get.
Maybe, this is all another one of those Karma things.
Karma usually finds a way of biting me in the butt.
What goes around comes back, around correct? I’ve been doing most everything go recently. Does that mean something good might happen to me for once?
Or should I not let that small bit of optimism in me that for some reason refuses to die get its hopes up of having a chance to be right for once. Because whenever I’m optimistic something bad happens.
Here comes a rollercoaster.
