The Story So Far

Good morning internet. It’s 10:30 in the morning, and if you know me, you know that if I’m up at this time something is very wrong, or very very right. Thankfully, its the latter. First of all I’d like to apologize for my 8 day absence. Read: I am not sorry for this hiatus, I do however apologize. Anywho, onto whats on my mind. Note that I’m writing this more for myself, for memories sake, than anything else, so if you don’t really feel like reading about the sap that dwells inside of me, you can disregard this post.

I vaguely recall learning about the Great Awakening back in middle school social studies. Forgive me, for I do not remember the details of whatever this movement was, however I feel the title is appropriate to what I’m feeling right now.

My life for the past couple months has been relatively happy.  I’ve really had nothing to complain about, aside from the whole WLAJ situation…..yeah….I mean I always try to enjoy myself with whatever it is I’m doing, because if you aren’t enjoying yourself then whats the point right?

Onto this awakening. By pure chance, I happened to comment on the Facebook status of what I would call barely a friend from high school. She had stated that she was “stuck in a rut.” and I had asked if she needed a hand out. From there we began facebook chatting etc. and determined that we needed to hang out.

When a friend of hers was unable to make it to an MSU hockey game, she invited me and I obliged. I don’t know what it was, but somehow I knew. after the game we went to her apartment, and she watched the remainder of the Notre Dame-Pitt football game with me. Yes, you just read that correctly, she watched Notre Dame with me. Most of the time my mom won’t even do that. We then played scrabble, she won with a 42 or 48 point play of “heavy” I don’t remember how many points, I just remember crushing defeat. After the scrabble game I went on my way.

The following week we continued chatting on facebook, all the while I was of course over analyzing literally every word. At this point I was probably my most vulnerable, considering how much I already liked her. It was on Tuesday that she offered to make me dinner on Thursday. I was pretty excited about this, and contemplated this being the time I made my move.

Thursday arrived, I picked her up from class, she had apparently been chopping wood prior to class, because she was wearing a flannel shirt and looked like a lumberjack, but its ok, because the shirt had a nice sewn pattern by the buttons…..anyways. We start watching “The Holiday” which is an alright movie, she made spaghetti, which was very good. Her friend Jonny was coming over at 7, and I thought that my time was running short. Thankfully, her roommate Amy had invited me to stay while Jonny came over to play a few euchre games. Jonny and I won the first two games in dominating fashion, so we switched teams, myself and Amy on a squad, and her and Jonny.  Amy and I won the next game, and she and Jonny took the final contest. Jonny then left, as he had to work later in the evening. Her and I retired to her room where we laid and talked for about 3 hours. Read: laid and talked. Thats all folks, don’t make assumptions.

At this point I was 100% certain. From what I’m told she was pretty sure as well. I knew I had to see her again before the end of the weekend, so we had planned to meet up Saturday after the MSU/Penn State game. Friday happens. The game happens.  After the game I meet her at her apartment. We planned to watch “He’s Just Not That Into You.” I had been wanting to see it, so that worked. At the beginning of the movie, I made a comment about her not wanting to sit next to a North Carolina fan, so she moved closer. A little later I poked fun at her, and she moved away. I proceeded to pick her up and set her next to me, cuddling ensued. The movie was pretty solid, I enjoyed it. I don’t remember at what point I went in for the first kiss, but I think it was post movie. I’m not too sure. All I know is that it was pretty magical, at least for me. I think she will agree. At that point, well yeah, all I can say is that I’m really looking forward to the present and future.

That is all for now.
