Ok so lets see. Over the past few weeks.
I've got a new gf. She rocks by the way.
We went to see Polar express as our offical first date. We had been on a few already, but they were never marked as dates. Atleast in my opinion. We had gone to the Gavin Degraw concert, and had watched movies together a couple nights. So I guess in actuality, polar express was our 4th in line, but it was the first where it was known as a date going into it. Semantics. It was really good. I recommend it. It reminded of me when I had a crisis of Santa faith. Too bad that damn train never showed up in my street. I would have liked to continue believing. The moral was that it isn't always important to see to believe, but it's always important to believe in order to see. That is how Santa works. So maybe that's where we all went wrong. Maybe one year, we really wanted something and it was on our list, but we didn't get it. That was usually a big sign. Maybe one year, we got up in the middle of the night and caught our parents stuffing presents under the tree. That happened to me. That kind of takes away from the mysticism of christmas. And that is what it's all about. Children are losing the mysticism too early in their lives. They're starting to be burdened with life's problems too early and don't get to be a child as long as they can. I strongly believe that our world will be better off if we allow our children to hold onto that mysticism as long as possible and not become jaded towards the realities of life. Anyways, I digress.
Had a nice thanksgiving, lots of turkey, greenbean casserole, squash, stuffing, cranberry sauce and apple pie, and pumpkin bread. And no, I'm not a fan of pumpkin pie. Don't ask. Just not a fan. I brought a mountain of work home to get out of the way, but only got one books questions done. Oh well. I'll just have work to do these last 3 weeks, along with finals and grading. It was nice to see the parents again. I'm realizing how much closer my stepfather and I are now than when he first came into the family. At first, I wanted nothing to do with him. Now, today for instance before I was leaving, he gave me a hug. How cool is that. Usually I'm the one trying to get him to hug. He actually initiated it today. That's cool.
I worked on two friendships over the week. One is now strong to the point, it probably would take a major fuck up on my part to end it. Which is good. This girl and I have a good history, and we know each other almost to the point of old married couple amount of information. It's scary. The other one, has had trouble this semester, but we're working on it, and giving it time. Hopefully it will get better next semester.
Another friend commented on how happy I have been lately. She asked if I was happy now. I said no, not truly happy. But I am happier. I truly believe that people are not creatures of solitude. We were not made for it. I am a prime example. I do not like being single and alone. I dread it. And now that I'm in a relationship, even though it's still really new, I'm more content with myself. My stress levels are lower, my temper is uncommonly longer-fused. I am a better person when I'm in a relationship. She thinks I'm in the giddy stage. I am. And you know what? I think this one might last a little longer than my previous ones. We have an unbelievable amount in common, and our comfort level is crazy. Plus we're talking about future things to do. She is getting rollerblades so we can rollerblade together. That's cool.
Well that's all. Sorry it wasn't as bare-boned as I'm trying to do now. Well that's what happens when I put off updating for a week or so.
