oh right, I have a blog
| |  Man, I haven't posted in forever. Since last year!
I suppose the main reason that I haven't is because the big thing that's been going on in my life has been work. I don't even have internship and school to offset it. Also, the other thing has been my boyfriend.
Yes, my boyfriend. I have been putting off talking about him, mostly because we were waiting to break it to the parents. And I broke it to mine (he has yet to do so to his), which is a huge weight off.
I do not like being a secret girlfriend, even when being an unsecret girlfriend would make things awkward. It feels dirty, and not the fun kind of dirty, either. Plus when you're meeting the parents of your boyfriend who do not know you are the girlfriend, it's double stressful. You need to make a good impression, and remember not to behave like a girlfriend.
Oh, I should mention, for posterity, it's Ed. Obviously, it's Ed. We've been "going out" for two months now, although most of our going out involves staying in and watching movies. And it's really great. Trying to explain how it is will only make me sound like a dork (keep snarky comments to yourself). These pictures are from us at New Years. We got all dressed up around ten pm so that we could go out into our
 courtyard and listen to everyone bang on pots and pans and shout hooray (we weren't allowed to fire off guns, although some people did that anyway). I really love these pictures. You'd never know looking at them that he's over a foot taller than me. I like the first one the best. We look like such lushes (I mean, I'm -taking- the photo and I can't put my drink down long enough to do it).
Anyway, I'm happy. Work irks me a little, but on the whole, Internet, I'm very very happy. And I want to remember feeling like this, because often I don't.
I'm happy when I wake up, and I'm happy most of the day (because I'm me, there are days when I'm irked, but they zoom by pretty quickly), and I'm happy when I go to sleep. Every day feels like my favorite story/poem by Sandol Stoddard Warburg (snippets below):
I like you
And I know why
I like you because
You are a good person
To like
...
You know how to be silly
That's why I like you
Boy are you ever silly
I never met anybody sillier than me
till I met you
I like you because
You know when it's time to stop being silly
Maybe day after tomorrow
Maybe never
Oops too late
It's quarter post silly
...
You really like me
You really like me
Don't you
And I really like you back
And you like me back
And I like you back
And that's the way we keep on going
Every day
...
I like you because
I don't know why but
Everything that happens
Is nicer with you
I can't remember when I didn't like you
It must have been lonesome then
I like you because because
I forget why I like you
But I do
So many reasons
...
I guess I don't know why I like you really
Why do I like you
I guess I just like you
I guess I just like you
Because I like you
