Valentine's Day
Usually I spend the day being bitter, regardless of whether or not I have a Valentine. This year was very commercialized. I was mildly annoyed that every person I've come across over the past 2 weeks has inquired as to what my plans for V-Day were, as though I would be ostracized from society, if I didn't have something magnificent planned. My classmates seemed to be having a competition for who could out-do each other's plans.
I actually celebrated this year...or maybe I was just looking for an excuse to pig out on good food :). Rex & I ate dinner at Beni-hana. The combination of the food, his company, & the atmosphere made for a great time. I think the only time we shut up is when we were chewing. Drunken babbling is always fun. I had a blast! We ordered cocktails that came in a ceramic Buddha glass you could take home. I think Buddha was trying to give me alcohol poisoning.
After dinner, we laid in bed & talked for hours. I think we both have a better understanding of where things are headed/where we stand/what we want out of this. It was nice. It helped ease my mind to talk about some of the thoughts that have been running rampant.
It's a change of pace to date someone who seems to be on the same wavelength as I am. Maybe a few waves ahead of me, but definitely closer.
I am so lucky.

The song "Head Over Feet" by Alanis Morissette has been haunting me at work. We listen to 96.3 & they've been playing it several times a day. I realized how much it reminded me of you when I listened closely to the lyrics...
"You treat me like I'm a princess;
I'm not used to liking that.
You ask how my day was.
You are the bearer of unconditional things.
You held your breath and the door for me,
THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE
You've already won me over, in spite of me.
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet."
