My boyfriend is giving me a key to his apartment! To "come and go as I please". My God, I can't believe it. Of course considering the fact that he lives alone and most of my boyfriends haven't I guess it's easier for him. But compared to other guys everything is easier with him.

Do Something New

Do something new as often as you can.

Volunteer for St. Jude's to answer phones during their radioathon. Be nervous and talk so fast that ppl can't understand you.

Watch a Brazilian Dance Company's show. Be amazed at their flexibility and the fact that they must have practiced thousands of times to be so coordinated together to African music that doesn't seem to vary enough to give them an idea of when they should leap and kick at certain points.

Watch a horrible play about lesbians trying to decide if they want to have a child. Be so appalled at the lead character's overacting, the shallow characters, the lack of a pervading theme that you want to get up and leave halfway through. Don't, it's rude. After sitting through it and wanting your money back consider writing a letter to the editor about play ending with "I'd rather stay home and watch lifetime television than that play."

Stay home and watch lifetime television.

Take someone who's never eaten sushi before out for sushi.

Go to a comedy club. Write a comedy routine (okay, you know I didn't do this).

Design something. Put together a piece of art.

Take your sister out to "The Dessert Theater Experience" in honor of Valentine's day where they serve dessert and you watch theater.

Cook something new. Try to figure out where you can buy an actual fennel.

Volunteer to subsitute for a preschool class. At recess play duck, duck, goose and ring around the rosy with the kids. Love how sweet and huggable most of them are.

Meet someone new. Take in all the different and interesting things about them. Share new things with them.

Be happy in all the newness. :)

Lunch time fire

I'm at his house eating lunch and I go to wash my bowl in the sink. He starts kissing me and shoves me up against the wall and spends the next 15-20 minutes not letting me move as he.......stays shoved up against the wall, me saying "you'll be late getting back to work". We end the lunch date with him saying he needed to give me something that would make me want to come back for more. Haha. Yes, things with me and the "boy" (because I can call him that, he is 2 years my junior) tend to get pretty heated. For someone so......."innocent" he sure knows what he is doing when he touches me, kisses me.

Obviously we've all had enough of that kind of talk. Suffice to say I'm having a great time with Benjamin. He's very easy to be with, around, etc. We watch alot of movies and talk alot about important things and stupid things and childhood. He wishes he could fly and wanted to be a pilot when he was little. He doesn't own a television and his house seems pretty simple. We're going bowling tomorrow with my friend B and Jaydan (my best friend!). I'm thinking about taking him out to brunch at this restaurant on Sunday and getting slightly tipsy on mimosas. The best thing about me and Benjamin is the fact that I feel very at ease with him. I want to think of a thousand things for us to do together and I'm rarely intimidated by him. We kinda just are together. So till next time folks I'll try to think of something more interesting than my love life to discuss.
