Wow. What a week. Sorry for being gone for so long from my journal duties. I've been a busy girl, Birthday and all. This year, my birthday's lasted a whole week! How rad is that? I still have presents coming. The best however (J5, you'll die), is this! And it was accompanied by a fabulous dinner at The Melting Pot. And a few other small gifts, the Tim Burton book, Family Guy Vol. 2 DVD's, gift cert. to Vikki's Secret. And can you believe that all that (minus the gift cert) came from one person? No, it wasn't my parents-they took me to one of my three free dinners this week....they all came from this awesome fucking guy I've been dating. He's most of the reason why I haven't been around much. It's ridiculous. I'm not one for letting myself have 'real' relationships anymore...thanks to several shitty crazy motherfuckers (one of which dumped me on my 21st Birthday, who does that?). But this time it's different. And that scares the crap out of me. He's nearly perfect, and he treats me like a princess. He's very rockabilly/old school, a leo, a gentleman, yet still just the right amount of sleezy for me. It scares the crap out of me that I like him so much already. I've known him since I've moved to RVA, which has only been since August, because we work together. And I know, that sounds like Trouble with a capital 'T'; believe you me, last guy I dated from work ended up getting kicked in the gut by me. Literally. He was the most ass of all the asses, and if you girls ever come across a Mr. Brady Hypes, turn and run. But this guy....he takes my breath away...and keeps it. My roomate says we're not 'dating', we have a 'courtship'. It's been over a month, and I haven't even slept with him yet! That's HUGE for me. And I haven't missed it. Which leads me to believe, it's all the more right to feel the way I do. He's so rad! He takes me out for diner malts at 2:00 am all the time. I heart him hardcore. And now I'm just babbling. I guess I'm just trying to get across that I haven't felt this way in a very long time. Decade almost. It's refreshing. And he gives me hope. Even if things don't end up working out, he gives me hope that I won't be that crazy old lady at the end of the street with all the cats. Cause I'd die if I were. For now, I'm the girl walking around, perpetually with a grin on my face, from ear to ear.

I do also want to take the time to say thank you to all that I met on Monday. You guys made my night remarkably special. I'll never forget it. And I'm very sorry that I didn't get to know more of you than I'd liked. I'm sure there will be another SGVA/DC event real soon, that hopefully will involve more mingling and less drooling over hot nekkid women.

Until then, Ciao, and don't be a stranger to my journal. You guys are why I love this silly little site...
