My future is materializing. I've made my final decision--I'm moving to Philadelphia, PA, at the end of April. If anybody knows anybody worth a damn in the greater metro area, give a holler.
Another weighty development in my life is the procurement of well, a boyfriend. Since having a perpetual-albeit much deserved aversion to identifying myself as some body's girlfriend, I'm still approaching this with a shitload of apprehension.
Our paths had been crossing for seven months, with one fateful bike race (no, seriously) ending in the culmination of months of mutual admiration. And well, he's pretty much everything I could ever want in a male, a partner, a person. I was sorely convinced I'd always have to make concessions, as my standards are both multitudinous and specific. It's endlessly exciting to be constantly impressed by somebody, in awe of our very interactions. The age/life experience difference is a bit staggering, although has yet to pose real problems or even threats thereof. Major catch? He lives 1200 miles north of me until all of mid-December. Unsettling, yes. But goddamn, I love this boy.
