The neat thing about having a new relationship is that I seem to be reconnecting with old friends too. I had a great talk with Susie about my new man, and I was stoked. She is so fun. I had a really interesting reaction to his astrology. Based on knowing just a small amount, I felt like I could read an interpretation of his life in the astrology that I saw. It was not a full reading, but just some interesting insights that I ran past him to see what he thought. One big problem for us will be, who is going to keep us on task and focus on structure and discipline? We may be equally "crazy" in certain ways.
Saturday revealed some stark differences of opinion, but on sunday we chatted on the computer and he brought up some issues. I am glad he brought things up. I was very blunt and honest and he said the things that renewed my interest. There are still ways that he's not-Paul that I am kind of disappointed in. I have to give a new person a chance, but sometimes it makes me miss Paul all over again. The big, deep thing about Dan is that he makes me feel accepted and seen. I hope he can grow to match me. He may be lacking in ambition to grow and change. I have to decide if I am really ready to train a man who is inexperienced in long relationships. Again. I hope he's willing to work as hard as I am. We work together as a team really well. Our communication channel seems really clear and comfortable. That's big.
Saturday I danced in a restaurant downtown and then stayed for the drumming and dancing until 2 am. I thought it would be short! we had fun, a girls' night out.
This morning I received a new assignment for contract work. yay! It relates to corner-cube reflectors, one of my little pet fetishes, of a sparkly-science nature. Woo hoo! Paid to research sparkles! yes yes yes yes yes!
