blissful.

Super happy this morning! I'm kind of caught up on work and less nervous about how I'm going to get everything done. Thankfully, I've been working my butt off and it's been paying off. I've knocked down my to do list by a few items and I'm feeling pretty good. Three weeks til the event - eek! I worked out for 90 minutes yesterday and my body feels fucking awesome. Another session tonight. Then, to top it off, I had an excellent date last night!

POP and I were supposed to meet up at his house to watch a movie, but then he suggested we do dinner beforehand. Had a quick bite at Blue Front Cafe - I insisted on paying, even though he gave me major side eye over it. So to one-up me, he then decided we needed to order drinks, which *he* paid for. Boys are so silly - I make money, I can pay for things! I'm sure he thinks my food quirks are weird, since I ate like a small bird and cut my pita falafel with a fork and a knife, but whatever. I'm strange! Afterwards, we bought a bottle of wine and then headed back to his place to watch the movie. We ended up spending so much time talking that it was like 45 minutes later when we decided on Rango. I wanted to watch True Grit, but he told me if we watched that he wouldn't pay any attention to the me (read: try to mack on me) during the movie. The one weird thing was he's super into animation (he did an internship at Pixar and loves that stuff) and I had to try and feign ignorance about it because I didn't want to bring up The Blexican. I guess we should have the ex conversation at some point, but we're having so much fun that I don't want to bring it up.

Anyway, his roommate was there (the one I haven't met), but I didn't get an intro as she was just breezing in and out. So he shut the door and we started watching the movie, which of course, turned into us not watching the movie fairly quickly. I really love hooking up with him. It's like the perfect combination of being totally into each other and wanting to rip each other's clothes off, but also being really caring and sweet. Of course, I have my fucking period, so I couldn't do anything fun. And since I couldn't do anything fun, he wouldn't let me do anything fun to him. Womp womp. Hate when guys are all "I'm going to be a gentleman" (okay, I don't really hate this, but god damnit at least one of us deserved to get off!). The rest of the night was nice. I told him that since he makes fun of me for a million things, I need something to make fun of him for. So he let me look through his yearbook to see pictures of him as a kid and told me about his obsession with a certain television show that I won't name because I like him too much to tell other people. He showed me some dorky CS videos he made, too, so now I have plenty of ammo to make fun of him with =) Bonded over our love of Archer and just talked for hours while cuddling and semi-hooking up. He asked me to stay over and of course I said yes. I think we ended up talking til like 2am. I just feel so at ease with him - it's completely comfortable and natural.

Woke up this morning together so he could move his car. Discovered that I left a really dark hickey on his neck - damn you white people for bruising so easy! You'd have to literally suck on my neck for 20 minutes to get a mark like that. I'll have to remember I'm dating a white boy now and I have to be more gentle. I don't know when we'll see each other again - he asked me if I'm free before Chicago, but the only night I have is tonight and I don't know if he thinks 3 nights in a row is overkill (shit, I might think 3 nights in a row is overkill). So maybe not til next week. Sigh.

God, being in like is really nice, but super distracting. Gotta get back to work!
