Happy 800th entry!

I’ve gotten a lot of complaints as of late about my lack of entries. *coughALEXcoughAARONcough* Now, I’m about to apologize, but first I would like to say that I wrote an 800th entry well over a week ago, that refused to save several times. I have since gotten a new hard drive and managed to have lost that entry, so I’m being forced to write a new one. However, I am sorry for my lengthy absence.

So you want to know about Chris, do you Aaron? Chris is amazing… we will have been together a month this Sunday (Easter), and I can’t believe how wonderful things actually are.

Give me a minute, Aaron is blahing and yaddaing me to death.

Back to Chris… when we first started dating, I had no clue how well we would work together. He wasn’t really my type, we didn’t know each other very well, and to be honest, I didn’t even like him all too terribly much. This has since changed, I assure you. We’re awesome friends now, we can joke around, just hang out, cuddle, be cute, be romantic, have serious conversations, be physical… it’s all there. I’m so glad we’re together, and even though this summer is going to be really hard (4 months, 4 hours apart), I think it’s going to work out.

So you want details, do you? Chris is a former band nerd (yeah that’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout), actually a trumpet. Yes, a brass player. Again, that’s what I’m talkin’ about. -grins for all of those musically inclined people out there (Care you of all people should understand this reference ;D)- He doesn’t really play anymore, which is fine with me because I haven’t touched a saxophone in almost 12 months. He does, however, play guitar, as I’m sure I mentioned before. I love listening to him play and sing… did I mention he wrote me a lullabye and is currently working on another song for me? Oh, and yes, I am learning guitar. I can play the first part of Adeline, Out of Tune by the Get up Kids, and part of Butterfly by Weezer. Heck yeah. But back to Chris…

Ok, so he’s got bunches of half siblings but no full siblings. They’re all much older, but I think his older brother is the youngest… lives near them, has a wife and a young son Liam whom Chris absolutely adores. Chris loves kids. Heh, I, quite obviously, do not. Mmm, this entry is going to get quite boring for those who know Chris… sorry Meg and Alex… at least I think you’re the only ones that know him that read…

Let’s see, he’s a Christian, and while I know Alex doesn’t think that should matter, and in a way I agree with him, John asked the question so I thought I might as well answer it. Hmm, oh yeah… Chris loves food. Except for fruit and vegetables. Yeah, I dunno. I’ll break him of that… ;P He likes making meatballs… hey if he wants to cook me dinner once in awhile, I’m completely fine with that. 😉

He opens doors, and although he wants to pay for things, we’ve agreed to go dutch from now on because I have money and, well, frankly, he doesn’t. He’s a flower-giver… I don’t know, he’s just wonderful.

Alright, let’s talk about it… yes he drinks. Since we’ve been together he seems to be drinking less… now this is not because I’ve asked him to. That would be naive of me, and there’s no way he would ever do that or respect me if I asked him to. I am ok with the fact that he drinks, which may surprise most of you, but I don’t see how I could date him if I didn’t get over that. He doesn’t want to drink very much when he know I’ll be around, and he actually really respects the fact that I don’t drink. We were talking about it the other day, and he said that if I ever was like, hmm, let me try some of that, he just wouldn’t let me. It’s nice to know that he respects me for that, but I also told him he doesn’t really have to worry about stopping me.

Ohh, and by the way, Chris is a computer science major. He’s the one who temporarily fixed my hard drive several times before a new one was shipped here. Then he installed my new hard drive. He’s kinda handy to have around… 😉 not to mention I like him lots.

Alright, enough about Chris. On to my life… -charge-

Well that’s pretty much it. -laughs- Oy, that’s bad isn’t it. We’ve recently had to strip our rooms of everything on the walls/ceiling/doors for preliminary room inspections (which took place yesterday, as a matter of fact). It’s terrible. Not only did it make me extremely unhappy to make the room less homey, it made me think about the impending summer. *sigh* I have no desire to go home. It’s so nice here… I wish we’d all stay. Anyway, it was kind of depressing to have bare dorm-room walls, and a bare ceiling that doesn’t show off glow-in-the-dark stars at night. Man, the first night of that was hard to handle. Today between classes I became enraged and put my Van Gogh poster of Starry Night back up. Mensch.

Ooh, speaking of classes… it’s 85 degrees here, blue sky, etc. My philo prof let us out 15 minutes early, and my psych prof let us out 5 minutes early in honor of the beautiful weather. Heck yeah! Muy exciting. Ich war sehr froh. Anyway, you’re probably wondering why I’m not actually outside then. You see, at this college, there are lots and lots of skinny half to mostly-naked girls who like to lay out in the quads. They intimidate the heck out of me. So I’ll just stay here and read Paradise Lost. Yeah… about that… *fun times*

At any rate, I must start working, because I actually have that tonight. Happy 800th!
