Why don't you get things started?

Quote: But every so often I’ll have moments when just being myself, in my life, right where I am is enough. – Angela, My So Called Life

I swore that I would never turn into that friend who disappears as soon as she gets into a relationship. And up until now, I never was. But right now I’m having a really hard time balancing a new relationship with school and work and friends. Unfortunately, it’s my friends that I am sacrificing. I know that most of them understand, because they have been there, but I also know that there are at least two who don’t. I hope that once school is over I can tend to these rifts that I am making before they get to deep to do anything about. If it weren’t for that one worry, my life would be perfect right now. Except of course for the extreme loss of sleep, but I can deal with that.
On to more lighthearted news:
The boy and I went to a foam party on Saturday. Well, actually we went to see a band and there just happened to be a foam party there. It was so much fun. We danced in the foam and when it got over our heads and no one could see us… lol… we had a lot of fun. The foam smelled like grape and he and I got soaked; our clothes, our shoes, everything. Then we got into my car and made my car smell like grape. My shoes still smell grapy. I hope the bar that we went to posts the picture that somebody took of us. We had just gotten out of the foam and were covered in bubbles. Should be cute.

I’m so tired. I can’t wait for summer classes to be over. Then maybe I can get some sleep. I have less than two weeks left and I have four papers to write and I don’t know how many animation projects to do. Then there is also a final for the one class. Good grief… don’t think I’ll make it. The only thing I want to do is sleep. I swear when classes are over I’m going to take a whole day just for sleeping. Maybe a few days for sleeping, and then a few more for watching movies.
All right… I have homework to do. Ugh

Falls on me

Song: Brand New Fool - Elvis
Quote: Not paying attention, and isn’t that when they get you? Men, I mean. – From a Buick 8 – Stephen King

Good grief! How did this happen? There’s a good looking, 6 foot, blond man attached to my hip.
There was a moment of worry there, an x-girlfriend interfering, but after some reassurances, I know it’s me that he wants.
I could gush all about him and how he held my hand all through the movie, or how he came to see me in between my classes, just because he wanted to, or how he asked me to call him to let him know I got home safe “because it was raining pretty hard”, but I won’t.
On a funny note, he and I went for a motorcycle ride with his buddy and both he and his buddy decided that my ass looks great on the back of a motorcycle. LOL (they also said it looked good off the bike too)

Ok… I’m going to end this with all the dumb romantic songs that have been floating around in my brain lately

I Could Not Ask For More – Edwin McCain

It's only been a week but...

It has been quite some time since I blogged. I’ve been so busy lately. I’ve always said that I didn’t have time for a boyfriend. Well, not only did I get myself a boyfriend, I got one who works third shift. I think I just like to make things difficult for myself. LOL But he’s wonderful. He thinks I’m beautiful and tough. And he holds my hand while he drives. He sits me on his lap in public and holds me. I love kissing him, and he can’t get enough of me either. He takes me for rides on his motorcycle and on Thursday he took me up to Jim Thorpe to go hiking, so that I could see the waterfalls up there. I’ve never done anything like that before.
The way our schedules are, there are some days where I can only see him for a few hours, and it looks like the only way I will see him on Tuesdays and Wednesdays is if one of us visits the other while s/he is at work. It doesn’t matter though.
It astounds me that I only met him a little over a week ago. It just seems like I’ve known him forever; I’m so comfortable around him. I was content and happy with my life before he came along. And now, I’m really happy. In his words: “bonus”.

Honey don't think

Song: Flying Dreams – Jerry Goldsmith
Quote: Dream by night, wish by day, love begins this way. Loving starts when open hearts touch and stay.

I’m so very happy. I feel like jumping around and dancing. My head is telling me to slow down, my heart has already leaped. He called me Sunday night and we went for a motorcycle ride, we watched a movie with his friends and then we drove around for a while and ended up in his car parked outside his house. We talked and then he kissed me. We did a lot of kissing and then we watched the sun come up in his car. LOL Tonight I went to where he works and spent his lunch break with him. He says and does things that just make me smile. The more I look at him, the cuter he gets. I’m so very happy.
