Here I am, sitting in my new home. I moved today to a townhouse in Centreville where I have three roommates. One will be moving out very shortly though. Ok, so since November.....School has been fine......work has been challenging but good. I've had better luck dating. Dated an African woman. That was a great experience and she's a great person but she had a great career opportunity come up back home so she is leaving. If anything, she opened my eyes to not have such a racist ideas and to how the world views the US. While our time together was short, it was great and I know she's going to do
great things in her life. I went on my cruise. The cruise itself was
great and I experienced some great things (snorkeling with sting rays,
swimming at the nicest beach I've ever been to (Tulum, Mexico) and
climbing a waterfall in Jamaica. On the other hand, the "friends" I went with didn't turn out to be quite that. To sum that up, they just made me feel ignored and unimportant and I can't wait to go on another one with better friends. I have a girlfriend now and there was an issue with us dating when her ex-bf found out. Of course, they dated for 3 months and had broken up 9 months before I asked her out. Also, he was one of the non-friends I mentioned from the trip. Nevermind that though. Michelle is her name and I'm hesistant to say too much or get too excited for fear of her crapping on me as others have done in the past. I will say this though:
I see something in her I don't know I've ever seen in a girl/woman. I
can't really describe it. I have my usual slight obsessiveness with her
but it's mellowed out. Right now she's out with girlfriends and I'm not
too concerned. A little just like usual that she'll meet some good looking guy who'll catch her in a moment of drunkenness or weakness. But I know I can trust her to be faithful to me. Not easy for me to do. She keeps her guard up around me and I do the same but the longer we are together the more I can see both of our walls crumbling. Hope no one reads this but I've always heard people say "when you meet your someone you'll just know" and I've thought I knew in the past but I lied to myself about one part of me or another which prevented it from ever reaching marriage. This girl though. There are things which I see her that make me worry but no part of me worries about if I should be with her. It's like she's where I belong. She's falling in love with me, I can tell. I may just feel the same way about her too. She sees something in me. Of course, I say all of this and watch she'll shit on me and I'll feel so stupid for saying all of this. Oh well, the chances we take I guess. Oh, and lastly, I found out I'm going to probably be promoted at my job next month in March. This room I moved into is around a $1000 cheaper per month than my old place. It's cramped but I don't mind. I'm tired from moving, that's enough for now.
