Sleepless In The City

Welcome to Sleepless In The City!

Cool title, huh? I named my blog, Sleepless In The City, because I never usually go to sleep early. so the rest of my future blog posts will be written and posted in the late hours of the night/ morning. As for the the blog's url, I was texting my friend while I made my blogger account & asked what I should title my blog, to which he responded, "Why I Love Dayne." Although, I didn't use his suggestion as my title, I decided to use it as the url. Haha. In addition to creating this blog to express my thoughts, it is also a way for me to keep with touch with people, Dayne, of course being one of them.

I can't believe a year has gone by so fast. I remember the first time I ever met Dayne. It was the first Music Box event of the year and I had come to watch two bands perform. My friend, Hawa, introduced me to Dayne. We shook hands and said "hello." Then, the first thing Dayne asked me was, " Hey, do you know (mutual friend's name)?"

"Yeah," I said, "she worked the summer program I was in, before starting school."

"Oh ok, 'cause she lives in my house, she said she loves you," Dayne said.

"Aww, tell her I love her too," I said, recognizing how I knew Dayne prior to even meeting him.

"She has spoken about you before. It's good to finally meet you," I said.

"Yeah," he said.

Who knew that after that short conversation, our friendship would progress so much. Dayne began working as a desk worker in my residence hall and we used to play board games at the desk, when we were bored. I would also help him with random spanish homework. after a while we ended up exchanging numbers. I'm not going to lie, I always liked talking to him, he was always so friendly, funny, and down to earth. Although, those I was always glad he texted, sometimes I would take hours to respond because I didn't hear/feel my phone vibrating or was sleeping. Oh, and we can't forget the random drunk text messages I would recieve, about how glad he was that we were friends! And going to his house one night in the snow to watch a movie and play Dirt, and everyone there being so tired we just laughed at everything. I can't believe a whole year has gone by! Dayne graduated & is off to China soon to teach at Hebi University! I wish him the best and know that he will enjoy this experience to the fullest, as he loves traveling and seeing the world. I know that the students he recieve in China would love Dayne just as much as I do, if not more.

So I guess, this is honestly the all the real reasons why I love Dayne. It's true what the say, sometimes the people who walk into your life for a short time can change it forever.

I wish you all the best in China, Dayne!

Talk to you soon!
