Banana Splits

So, I want to announce to the entire world that today, I, Heather Marie Carlson, had my first ever official banana split.
Shocking? Yes.
As a child I never liked many fruits. Most fruits like oranges and strawberries have always been tart enough that I gag on them. Things like bananas have been difficult for me to like...I'm not sure why...probably the texture. Anyways. So, my point is this...
I remember a day when I liked canned peaches and banana yogurt....but apples are all I have ever been able to stomach for most of my life. I love fruit juice, but not the actual fruit. I blame the sugar on this. Well...I have been trying to get myself to like fruits and I think I hit a milestone tonight. I like mandarin oranges (still hard to swallow without gagging a little), red/purple grapes, melons, and now peaches and bananas.
I got to go to Logan tonight to visit a friend I haven't seen in years. We went to a delicious pizza place called Firehouse, then we went to see The Time Traveler's Wife, and finally we decided on Angie's. We thought about cleaning the sink there, but realized we needed reinforcements to do such a task, so we just got a regular banana split. I had an entire half of a banana. It was yummy. Maybe someday I'll be able to eat a whole banana raw. For now, I still need something to cover up the texture, but I ate it and enjoyed it.
Strawberries are in a similar situation. I had some chocolate covered ones at that dance I went to with Jake. I only ate them so I wouldn't look stupid in front of him. It was hard to swallow, but the chocolate helped. But, a few weeks ago while I was still working at Chick-fil-A I got a fruit cup. I ate everything in it. A year ago I would've never thought about even buying it. Now, I think I would not have a problem getting one. It had apples, mandarin oranges, strawberries and grapes. Yay...I'm slowly becoming a normal person!!!!


In other thoughts and ponderings...I still like someone that I've liked since last year...and it's killing me that he sort of talks to me and nothing else. Also, I don't know how to react. I'm still mad that he didn't respond to any of my messages during the summer. It really bothers me. But, apparently he's playing the ignorant one on that part. When I saw him in choralaires, he complimented me on my new hair cut (of course, I've had it like this for awhile now) and this week he said something about my piano playing. He hugs everyone he sees pretty much, but not me. He barely talks to me. I don't want to talk to him (because I go weak inside and can't help but feel giddy...even if he just smiles at me...grr...I wish he didn't have that power over me). I thought I had moved on. I thought I had it figured out. It's obvious he's not interested in me. Why can't I get over him? Ahhh!!!! Men...
(oh how I still like him!)

Anyways...I gotta go to bed. It's late. Oh....that banana split was amazing!!! But, I'm going to pay for it tomorrow I fear. Oh well. It was so worth it!
