...Sweet Summertime...
So, I have been playing around on OKCupid, a site where I take all sorts of fun online quizzes and such. It also happens to be a dating site, but I wasn't too enthusiastic about that part.
Until about 3 weeks ago. This grad student from Colorado, named Noah, started sending me messages about my profile. We started talking and I discovered his summer internship is with a company that I know... so we talked about his project this summer, and his thesis back at school. He's another hydro-junkie. =D
Well over the last three weeks we've talked online frequently... he's been over to my place just to hang out. Last weekend we went to Hoover Dam, both being engi-nerds, and contemplated the physics and engineering of the design. He took pictures of all the ASCE plaques. That night he came over to watch movies with me... I put my head in his lap and we just... were. Now, anyone who knows me, knows that I'm very open about my thoughts, feelings, past, etc. However, Noah is VERY quiet. He talks when he has something to say, or if you ask a question... but he's definitely not a social chatter.
Earlier this week, we worked through some issues... basically deciding that we'll spend what time we can together this summer, and he'll go back to CSU in August; no ties, no commitments.
I had a very long day yesterday, and felt like just laying around in bed after I got home from work. To my suprise, Noah came over and joined me. =D Suddenly the book I was reading held no interest. I snuggled myself into his arms and just... relaxed. I'm coming to realize I've not really relaxed since I've been here. With Noah, we can just be... no talking, just... be. That's amazing to me. Granted, I got very little sleep... between the kissing and cuddling, I might have caught 4 hours. But I wouldn't trade last night for the world.
I had to get up and leave him this morning... crawled out of bed around 530. He's probably still there... makes it hard to sit here at work.
