Annie remembered my birthday and made me a mug cookie. (❁´◡`❁)

Idk why he seems kinda disappointed with himself tho, I didn’t expect him to do anything or thought he’d remember?  I mean it was like less than a week until his bday when I found out about it so we didn’t do anything (I mean he also kinda panicked when I said I’d pay to do w/e but we only knew each other like 2 months or smth so I get it) ( *︾▽︾)

I can’t think of what else it’d be tho, he’s been doing great at all the stuff he’s been learning!!!  He’s grown a lot!!!  (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

Like as a person and also taller. (～￣▽￣)～

Anyway, I think I’m gonna bug him until he tells me.  He’ll either tell me what it is or to fuck off, but until it’s one of those things, I’m gonna bug him. ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

2 am in a Walmart is magic (●'◡'●)

So like.

Annie can dance.  And sing.  Like goddamn he’s p good!  I knew he wrote out some lyrics but I didn’t know how much more he did with music??? ✪ ω ✪

His dancing is p awesome to behold, man, it was a lot of body percussive stuff!  Like he has a striking range is what I’d call it, get within 3 feet of the guy and he could probably give you a concussion and it’s AMAZING! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

This is also the most recent in the series of just how friggin interesting he is to be around tbh!  I keep saying he seems all shy and anxious and stuff and it’s super endearing, but like then he’s here in the haircare aisle of a Walmart just completely unashamed slapping and stomping and singing like I was over in produce and I heard him and it was the kinda shit that makes you wanna join in so I did and he didn’t stop or get surprised or embarrassed, he rolled with it.  (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))) I think it’s a getting in the zone thing. (●'◡'●)

But I mean... he got overwhelmed again emotionally I think.  He told me he was happy but like... I still don’t know what made him run away but he said he didn’t really realize just how long he hasn’t been happy until then. (´。＿。｀)

If he’s gonna live like this with me tho, he’s gonna be happy about it dammit! (ò_óˇ)

Question Game!

We’re definitely friends now I think! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

We were on the train and I asked if he wanted to play 20 questions but he was like “that’s not 20 questions” and like okay, yeah, it’s not, but it’s a game where we have 20 questions between us we can ask each other, point is, he was cool with it so we did that! (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

And idk why it surprises me, but Annie’s younger than me!?!??!?!?? (●__●) Not by much, under a year, but still!  I asked him if he turned 15 this year or last year and he says last year and I ask him his sign, he says Leo which BEAUTIFUL COINCIDENCE because that only leaves less than a week of possible dates!  Since he has yet to hit his birthday this year! ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

The asshole counts everything with an upward inflection as a question tho and sniped the last one to end the game! (ò_óˇ) He was even counting the questions from our doesn’t count “medical info we should probably know” round so he could threaten to retroactively count them. o((>ω< ))o

But he’s really good at asking questions without asking questions!  He’ll say stuff like “I don’t understand why anyone would do that” or “sounds rough” or “you’re really into that” and it just makes me want to explain things and AUUUGH I’m not gonna complain, I’m glad he definitely likes talking to me.  (●'◡'●)

But it looks like he’s planning to live like this with me for the long term after all.  I guess it’s like being roommates without a room cause travel buddies doesn’t sound quite right to me, but if the shoes fits I guess!  When I get a car we’ll see if roommates sticks lol (～￣▽￣)～

He also said I can call him Annie now too. (❁´◡`❁)

2 Months!!!!

An?  Remembered!?!?!??  That we met two months ago!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!?!!??!??? （⊙ｏ⊙）

I didn’t know he was keeping track!  I knew he was keeping track of how long since he ran away, he finally told me he ran off in March, but I didn’t know he was even aware enough to know how long we’ve been traveling together. 〒▽〒

Butbutbut! o((>ω< ))o

But!!!!  (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

Actually, I don’t know why it makes me happy that he’s keeping track too. (。_。) I guess cause he isn’t following it up with “I think it’s time I went off on my own” or something lol (ˉ▽ˉ；)...

Regional Accents

Oh my god, so since An’s been talking more, I started noticing the differences in how we talk and sometimes it’s just really funny, idk, I really like it.  Noticed it when he said “grocery store” the other day (*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓

I gotta make fun of him some more the next time it happens. (￣y▽,￣)╭

Weirdly Cold

Guess I got thrown off from my planned route.  We usually followed the warm weather, but we’re knocking around up further north than I expected.  This is when not having clothes for cooler weather finally catches up with me! (ノへ￣、)

Tho An’s been insisting the hoodie is mine now.  I mean, I didn’t even take it to have it, taking his shit just seemed like a good way to get him to talk to me.  Still, he took saying I can just keep it to heart, it’s huge and comfortable, so I’ll just take it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He at least let me buy him a new one.  I made him actually think about how the contrast would be when it turns too.  I kinda wonder what color mine originally was, he says it turned so fast he doesn’t remember. (´。＿。｀)

Should *probably* let my parents know.

Left the hostel today, gonna hop on a ferry and see what’s across the river! ╰(*°▽°*)╯

Kinda wondering how long An’ll put up with my shit honestly.  Been almost a week and he seems content to get dragged around.  I’m not complaining, it’s nice to have some company even if he doesn’t talk much.  Maybe he’s just tired too.  That makes sense.  (◎﹏◎)

He needs to get better at asking for the things he needs tho.  He was just putting toothpaste on his finger for like two days before I noticed, this guy’s adorable, but shit if it doesn’t make me wonder. (。_。)

Should probably let my parents know I’m keeping someone for a while so they don’t wonder why I’m asking for money.  Hopping around so much makes it easier to get day gigs at least. o(*￣︶￣*)o

Found a Stray!

When I got to the hostel today, I found a stray and decided he’s coming with me when I leave.  He said “okay” when I told him.  I’m calling him An. (●'◡'●)
