Well, more like One Lovely Thing, seeing as it makes every other lovely thing look like one sand-grain of loveliness compared with a whole beach.
I have a girlfriend!! Her name starts with a K, and she is darling and beautiful and lovely and I adore her. <3
We met at Shakespeare summer conservatory, where we hit it off fairly quickly based on THE WHOVIAN BOND (the first time I saw her she was talking about her River Song cosplay, HELLO NEW FRIEND), and later when we went to see Harry Potter as Lupin and Tonks (and held hands during the entire movie for moral support, lol what is sexual tension). I didn't think much of it, because she had a boyfriend of a couple years and (Alex Kingston excepted) was heterosexual. (Aaaaaand I may have mashed faces with a guy at our cast party? Ugh ew bad memories. Thankfully, that situation went away in about a week.) After the show, we bonded into a small group with 2 other cast members, so we spent most of the rest of the summer together. Mid-August, she broke up with her boyfriend. By that time, I was pretty much convinced that we were Bestest of Best Friends, and while I MIGHT have been having some inappropriate thoughts in her direction (hello, I am kissing you on your mouth because we are playing charades with our friends and this is how I'm acting this character!), I was mostly just glad that we'd bonded so quickly.
Fast-forward to 2 and a half weeks into my school year, when she asks me out via text. And I accept. And our first date is at an SCA event, and our second is a Doctor Who finale party (10/River OTP). And LOTS OF OTHER STUFF BESIDES. I've never been in a relationship before, so sometimes I'm not sure what to do with all these feels. I try to just channel them in her direction (in the form of mixtapes, serenading, and one sonnet. just one. so far). I might post more about it later. But for now, just know that I love her, and I'm very, very happy. <3
