Chocolate

Today I sat in my room and had this overwhelming feeling that I wanted to cry. Like cry from the very center of Jessica cry. And it reminded me of this book that I just finished about a girl who cries for no reason and ends up trying to kill herself. I wasn't sad. Nothing bad or out of the ordinary had happened. But for whatever reason I wanted to get under my covers and cry. And then I decided to take an alternate route.

So I changed my clothes and put on some pants and left my room for the Helaman Creamery. I got there only to find that it was closed. I entered the CANC front desk to a room full of my wonderful coworkers, stood in the doorway and on the verge of tears exclaimed "I put on pants and walked all the way over here just to find that the Creamery was closed and I couldn't get any chocolate!". Yes, all I had wanted was some chocolate. Some emotional piece inside of me said that if I could only get some chocolate I would feel better... even if I were taking this chocolate back to my room to watch a movie alone in the dark.

Some time later my friends and I left the desk, and MegP drove us to Smith's where I purchased some $20 worth of chocolate. Lots of chocolate. And some ice cream. And a lemon and a cucumber. And we came back to Helaman Halls and I had every intention to go to my room and consume a large amount of chocolate alone. Instead, somehow I ended up sitting in the lobby around a table with Blake, MegP and MegN. We tasted every single type of chocolate together and discussed what we thought of each while sipping water flavored with lemon and cucumber. Refreshing? I think yes. Unexpected? Definitely. One of the best nights of the summer? Sure thing.
