I simply like another more than her.&nbsp; She was kinda upset that I didn&#8217;t tell her I liked other people more than her.. before she sat down with me &#8211; but I figured it was understood that with us going to be friends, it wouldn&#8217;t need to be brought up.&nbsp; So for that I&#8217;m sorry about.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>She still insists that she wants to be friends &#8211; but we&#8217;ll see.&nbsp; She also tells me that she probably will not go to Portland now.&nbsp; I argued that fact, just bringing up the fact that whatever happens between me and her as friends shouldn&#8217;t effect her decision if God is leading her somewhere.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Ah, so that was all done.&nbsp; I was relieved in a sense after I was done talking to her&#8230; for the fact that we had a chance to sit down and discuss things, getting everything out in the open.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Last night was good, I got to play some basketball against my brother.&nbsp; It was good.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>So today rolls along, and I thought I had more scheduled for today than I did.&nbsp; I really haven&#8217;t done much today, I&#8217;m planning on meeting up with Tara tonight if she calls.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow I will be having that long awaited meeting with Perry about the scholarship.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Funny thing &#8211; lately I&#8217;ve felt like contacting Emily.&nbsp; I&#8217;m not really sure why, I think I want to talk to her, but I still feel like I sorta don&#8217;t want her back in my life.&nbsp; So I&#8217;ve been going back and forth on that.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Quotes of the day :&nbsp; &#8220;At a press conference, Billy Graham was criticized.&nbsp; He got up and said, &#8220;Let&#8217;s pray.&nbsp; Oh Lord, please help us to never be guilty of that which our critics are saying about us.&#8221; &#8211; T.W.
