Hi everyone,
Major 411 911. I need to update because I've been sitting here on my ass for the past 5 hours staring at a computer screen. I didn't have work today when all my other friends had work. I actually did school work and college bull shit. I cannot believe I was actually being studious.
I got my license today in the mail!! Facebook itttttttt. I took a pic I'm a officially a certified Clinical Laboratory Technician.
Therefore you will address me as Phillip Maxwell (ASCP)MLT. Just kidding, I have to write that on any official data document I sign at work. Plus I get my raise =)
My cell biology class can suck my dick. It's so ridiculous I hate the teacher she's so condecending and belittling we're not PhD's like you are, we're students...treat us like them. Anyway, there is a major reason to why I'm updating.
I had a life changing moment. Last week to be exact, November 14th, 2008 to be exact, b/c I have a life and I remember dates.
I met someone.
And I feel like it was love at first sight. I..I didn't think it existed but, oh my God.
My friend Beth introduced me to this guy named Joey. I was nervous at first b/c she had talked so highly of me to him and I wasn't sure what to expect. So while twittling my thumbs, I looked up when he came over, and I had to do a double take. He shook my hand and introduced himself. And in my head I was saying, "Hi I'm Phill, nice to meet you."
But no words were flowing, it was just a bunch of stuttering and I felt like an asshole. But the whole time I just couldn't keep my eyes off him. Tall, broadshouldered, awesome body, soft voice...he had me at hello. So we got to talking about a lot and what we do for a living and whatnot. Overall I think the night went awesome and Beth was just so esctatic she hooked us up. So I wrote my number on the back of the check, shook his hand again and left. A half hour later, my phone rang with a number I didn't recognize.
"Hey Phil, it's Joey"
I was like doing cartwheels in Anjie's room b/c I went directly over to tell her about it. And this entire week, it's just been absoutely nuts. I have never developed feelings for someone so fast. I'm truely speechless. And everyone around me notices how happy I've been. My friends, my coworkers, my parents are all looking at me. "You met someone didn't you?" "Why are you so bouncy?" "Who did you fuck?" I didn't I swear my friends are just morons.
But he's altered my attitude and my days so much like, I look forward to waking up each day to talk to him. I even changed my texting plan so I have unlimited texting to any network including verizon. He has the iPhone =P so that's AT&T.
And we're always in touch and even though he lives kinda far (Shirley) it prevents me from seeing him everyday. But I can't stop thinking about him. And we're moving at a snail's pace. We're gonna let the subconcious tell us what we are. We're not just gonna slap a label on ourselves in 2 weeks and call us boyfriend/boyfriend. We wanna see how the pieces fall and just take it day by day. No need to look into the future =) But just where we are now just makes me so happy. Last night everytime he looked at me he smiled.
And this is what's truely remarkable...and how I knew that he was going to be someone special to me.
He makes all the bitterness and anger and sour emotion I have towards my past relationship and his new b/f, dissappear. And it was just such a vindicating feeling, so freeing, it was so refreshing. I just didn't care anymore. Because when one door closes, another one opens. And I'm so thankful my past is my past, or else I wouldn't have been able to allow someone new and more personable into my life.
The bracelet is packed away...sure I wore it b/c it looked nice, but ever since I met Joey, it just stopped appearing on my wrist. ANd not because I was like "Oh he's someone new, can't have him see this." I just oddly enough stopped wearing it. It's incredible.
Ugh...my life is awesome. To know I can rest my head on my pillow each night and know my life is going places in the future, and already I have my foot in the door with a career, a great family, and someone special I can finally relate to again.
We're spending the day together on Wed. He's gonna meet the family. Mom, Dad, Steph, Ang and the kids. Then who knows. I need to figure out a nice dinner arrangement.
I was so nervous the holidays were going to be a dissapointment, but you came just in the nick of time =)
Phill is fucking happy.
And look for me on Channel 4 I'll be at the Thanksgiving Day Parade!!!
