The joy and contentment of listening to favorite music...
Frank Sinatra is amazing. I made 2 mp3 CD's from the 20 CD's of his that Jacki had on her computer... I can listen to Frank for almost 4 days without hearing the songs twice! It's quite awesome. Frank just makes me want to fall in love... Speaking of that...
Someone has found the "perfect guy" for me... And yes, I think he is cute, I think he is funny, and I am happy that he is a Christian. But what pressure! When someone tells you that you should date a guy that you hardly even know, that just makes getting to know them a little more akward. Why can't she just say, "You should hang out" or "You guys should be friends"... no, I hear many times how we should DATE. That involves more than me being attracted to him! He kind of has to return that interest and we would have to spend time together and know each other more than hanging out one time with other people. So, I will ignore all of the terms regarding dating in her statements, and say he is a guy I would love to get to know. That's that. That is not me putting him on my friends ladder, that's just me realizing that I don't just want to jump into dating someone I don't really know. Because I, for one, under pressure, can force myself to think that I really like someone when I'm not quite sure if I do. Don't want that to happen! Two - I am so much better at talking to guys when I'm not worried about liking them, or if they like me, or when I have accepted the fact that we're just going to be friends (usually due to the fact that they have a girlfriend or are interested in my best friends). So why not just start out with that expectation, and if love comes out of it, there will be no disappointment ;). If love, dating, or even liking the guy doesn't come out of it... then I made a good friend, or had a good time, or might have learned something in the process. So... I don't know where I'm going with this.
