Woman resurected, Keyboard expires
February 29, 2008
Good morning blogospherians!!!!
Sorry to keep everyone sitting on the edges of their seats. Remember the incident with the tea and the keyboard? Well, I thought I had the problem well under control, until I got home from my date Wednesday night and tried to post. My keyboard went WONKY! I didn’t realize it until I looked up from my furiously typing posture (yes, I MUSTlook at the keys whilst I type) and saw that where I know I most definitely typed “DATE WITH SCOTT” it looked more likeGWRS QORJ XDIRR. I back spaced, and tried again, thinking maybe I missed some keys or my fingers were misaligned but, it did the same thing, so I gave up the ghost and took poor miss keyboard and put her gently and tenderly in the “recycle me” box.
Wednesday’s coffee date was wonderful. We went to my favorite coffee joint, had my favorite coffee and sat for about 2 hours just talking. I swear it still amazes me how we find so much to talk about! One problem I have always had in relationships is that I get bored very quickly. I know my posts have not reflected this in the least, but (snicker) I’m a bit of an hyperactive person. I tend to go go go till I just can’t go anymore and, unfortunately my brain works the same way, always seeking entertainment and stimulation. So far though, Scott is doing very well at keeping up!
So, after coffee, he went back to his meetings and trainings and whatever else it is he does and I came home, cleaned up and got ready for our movie date. Spiderwick Chronicles is wonderful by the way! I mean, the plot and storyline seem a bit too familiar since the opening of such movies as Bridge To Tarabithia and The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe- being that the fantasy genre is done a great deal lately – but the movie its self, the cinematography, the animation and casting and costuming and digital graphics and videography are superb! I really shouldn’t compare it to other movies though, because really, it isn’t like other movies, except that it is, in a way. Does that make sense?
Oh dear, I’m rambling.
Anywhoodles, after the movie, we caught a late dinner and then took a walk through Really Huge Park and stopped to watch the fountain lights for a bit, cautiously avoiding the fourth bench near the lake. We were standing there, watching the horses spout water and he just very sweetly, leaned over and kissed me. I know I must have looked like a deer in headlights because he sort of stammered a moment and then said, “Was that okay?”
(Insert sound track of my brain screaming HELL YES DO IT AGAIN MAN!)
And he did
Longer, sweeter and – hmm I better stop now, or I will be forced to go drag him out of a meeting.
Let me just say, it was very hard to come home alone last night.
This morning we met for breakfast. He’ll be tied up most of the day with work, and I’ve got two meetings – one work related, one art related – and then I work tonight from 2: PM – till 10:PM. We made plans to go out after I get off and I think we may go dancing. There are some great blues clubs around here and I’m a sucker for some blues!
OH YAH! My surprise! He brought me a bottle of “Chloe” perfume! It smells SOOO GOOD! He said he got it because it had my name on the bottle. Awwwww (mushy moment).
Okay, serious moment here.
Blogospherians – I really like this guy! I mean, really really like him. I keep trying not to think about Monday when he has to leave again, because it makes me sad. Is that nuts? I mean, its too fast to feel that way, right? Dani says that its not really that fast because really we’ve known each other almost a year now, but I say yah, but only in a work related way and how well can you really get to know someone while you’re bringing their steak and pouring their coffee? I mean we do talk on the phone for hours and hours, but its not face to face, in person, up close contact.
In the past week or so we’ve had some pretty serious conversations, you know, about life and life stuff . And we just have so much in common. I mean, neither of us want to have kids (I’ll explain myself on this in another post), really, and we’re both of the same mind about politics and the environment and so many things. We both enjoy the same types of movies and books and music. We have just enough differences to keep things interesting and new, but not so many that it gives us nothing in common, if you follow what I’m saying.
I just know that in the relationships I’ve had, I’ve never felt like I feel now. Sure there was the whole excitement of newness, but not like this. After a while though, I would loose interest. It wasn’t their fault really. I just have never been a person who needed to have daily companionship or daily phone calls or dates. But its not like that with Scott. I get giggly just seeing his number on my caller ID, and I swear, when he talks (and ohmygosh does he have a sexy voice!) I can’t take my eyes off him. I am captivated. He makes me laugh, he stimulates my graymatter, he teaches me about things I never even really considered exploring, and when he smiles? I just feel warm and (in Heidie’s words) TWINNKLY all over.
He asked me last night if I’d ever consider leaving Really Big City, and you know, before I could even stop to think about it, my mouth said “Yes, if I had a reason to.” And I was totally shocked because I LOVE MY CITY and I’ve NEVER wanted to live anywhere else. I mean, my city has a pulse and a rhythm and a heartbeat and a groove that just is so vibrant and alive! But as I type this, I realize, since Scott’s been back, that’s exactly how I’ve felt. Ooohhh boy!
Anywhoodles. I must get ready for my meetings and accomplish something besides drooling today. Thank you all who checked in on me! That felt so wonderful. I promise not to abandon post again (hey, I punned!)
Love always,
Chloe Jayne
