Quick update on life
Ok, so I haven't updated in a long time. So much has occurred that its hard to put it all down. In short, I am having the time of my life! I don't think there has ever been a point in my life when I have had a better time. Now, if only Buck hadn't died, life would be perfect. Mom is so stressed, it hurts so much seeing her with all that pressure. I encourage her to go on walks with me when I can, and I scheduled a vacation for her. Buck just had to be so stupid though! And get on that plane when they knew there was no visibility. My life would be perfect if Buck hadn't died, but he did, and we all move on. Poor Kate lost her father, two grandparents, and a family friend within 3 weeks of each other.
Anyways, lets get on to more happy things! I'm currently dating a boy named Rob. Its so weird having an actual boyfriend who lives an hour away. I see him about once a week, and he gave me my first kiss at the Cherry Blossum festival (ahhh squinch at revealing someone touch me!). Actually that is the only time I let him kiss me because truth be told, I still hate being touched. Hopefully that won't last too long because he apparently is a touchy-feely person, but is giving me my space because he knows I'm not comfortable with it.
So about Rob. Really great guy. We have so much in common its scary. He's half white, half asian, and isn't super tall. Yay! He is such a gentleman, and planned a picnic for us at the Cherry Blossums in DC. He made sandwiches and choclate dipped strawberries! We talk about anything and everything, and have really similiar religious and political views, which makes life so much easier.
Another great thing about Rob, he comes with friends! Its this weird tangle. Let me try to explain.
I knew Erin in high school. Erin dated Andy, who her sister Shannon also had a crush on. Erin and I went on to the same college, but managed to lose touch somehow. Then last year at a yardsale, I found myself at Erin's mother's house where Erin was helping her mom with the yardsale. We exchanged information and became best friends after that. Erin said her sister was looking for a job, and I mentioned that my mom needed a secretary at work.
Shannon starts working for mom and Buck, where she discovers that Buck is her friend Kate's father. She knew Kate from Andy, who she got to know through her boyfriend Juan that she met on the internet. Juan, Andy, and their friend Rob all went to college together. Andy went on to marry Kate, who I have known for 18 years as Katie. Katie and I often worked at the office together.
So now its Rob's birthday, and he really wants a date. So Shannon and Juan think it'd be cute to set me and Rob up. Andy and Kate jump at the idea. And that is how we got together. I knew Erin, who knew Shannon, who knew Juan, who knew Rob, who knew Andy, who married Kate, who I also knew. So now I'm friends with all of them, and its great! I have never had this many friends my entire life!
Meanwhile, I'm still super close to Sarah, and I am sure that will last a lifetime. Sarah just rocks. Sarah will be getting married in May, hooray!
I'm having fun in this new DS9 rp I'm in, and can even talk to Rob about it because he rps too! I feel a little disappointed that I let my game die, but it was really hard getting people to interact the way they do in the other ds9 game I'm in.
Work wise, I'm helping my mom, straigtening up the house, doing research, and writing. My mom is so super stressed. Grrr Buck! Why did you have to get on that plane! He'd have been so tickled that I was going out with his son-in-law's friend.
Once my mom gets a handle on things, though we'll continue to miss Buck, he was a family friend of 18 years, life will be a little bit better. Though now, seriously people, time of my life! Wahoo!
