how do i write about fresh love without jinxing it?

so i recently went to a party, and i met this guy. and he was awesome.

and we went for a walk and thought nobody would notice we were missing because the only person each of us saw in the room was the other.

and when we got back EVERYONE had noticed we were missing, but neither of us cared. and my friends (ish) were all “what the heck did you guys talk about?” and I was all “i don’t really know. it was just a perfect walk.”

and he read my blog and thought i was funny and then he turned on the history channel to fall asleep without even knowing that the history channel is my FAVORITE thing to fall asleep too.

and then i couldn’t stop smiling.

and i just want to write about it because i never want to forget that during the last week of Sept., 2008 i was really happy. and because sometimes i forget that within 24 hours you can meet someone who can change your whole perspective on life. and because he’s consumed my thoughts lately so it’d be hard for me to write about anything else.

and ya’ll should be honored that i’m sharing this with you because i haven’t told anyone about it except my mom and my wisconsin-based friend mandy, because i don’t want to jinx things and I figure my mom doesn’t count and neither do out-of-state friends.

and it might turn into nothing. or it might turn into something.

but im pulling for something.

random thoughts vol. 3 (or is it 4?)

  • yes, I’ve had a few accidents, but seriously progressive. you want me to pay $230 a MONTH for car insurance? you people are insane. im going to go ahead and call that little gekco to see if i really can save 15 percent or more.
  • i always complain about going to weddings (see: i make no money, therefore i have no money to travel), but then i go and they are THE FUNNEST THING EVA! i had such a good time this weekend. and i also made a new friend. who is awesome (even though he likes cats).
  • what is UP with the chicago bears? are we EVER going to get a good quarterback? this is how i visualize draft debates in the locker room: “maybe we should draft good quarterback x.” “no, he’s too good. we need to draft bad quarterback z and focus on our defense. if we had a good quarterback, people would have to stop calling us the chicago bears.” “oh. ya. you’re right. let’s just get an average quarterback and work on our safety plays.” this season is not going to be for the faint of heart. and if one more person tells me “well, they COULD be 3-0,” im going to cry.
  • i finally figured out how to put music on my phone. that means i have finally left 1987 and moved past cassette tapes onto digital music files. what can i say? im just cool like that.
  • yesterday my mom’s dog jumped up and grabbed my contact case (complete with contacts) and put the whole thing in his mouth, and then i stuck my whole hand in there and grabbed it, and then i rinsed everything off with contact solution and stuck them in my eyes because they were a brand new pair of 30-day contacts and im poor. thoughts?
  • coming up with a daily photo is harder than i thought it would be, and im thinking of making it a 5-day a week photo.
  • i cannot give up soda people. i know it’s bad for me, but i love it. and i love caffeine. and it’s SO delicious. and i have no motivation to give it up. so i just bought a 12-pack of coke. stop judging me.
