STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

Hey guys,

So, I haven't been keeping you guys updated on what's going on in terms of guys in my life because I've been so super busy with school and work and dating. So, here's an update.

I have been hanging out with a great guy lately. Actually, we've been going on what I'd like to call "marathon dates." We'll make dinner together, or watch a movie, or even go shopping, then we hang out with my neighbors (who are awesome). After a night of playing cards or Cranium with them or just sitting around eating ice cream and talking, we'll head over to my place. And he'll spend the night. In the morning, we both head off to work. Then we'll meet up at my place. And it starts all over again. It's pretty awesome.

I like how we're spontaneous, together, too. Like, for example, about two weeks ago we just rented a car and drove two hours to Los Angeles to go to my friend's birthday party. And we just dropped $80 on filet mignon at a fancy restaurant because I hadn't had steak for about seven years. And we go to concerts and sing to old school punk songs together. I'm having a great time. And this has been going on for about a month and a half.

I'm going to be moving out of the area soon to travel and visit my sister. And he's going to go to Spain to study for a year. So, we're both just taking it as it comes, not really thinking about the future. But I know that I definitely don't want a long-term, long-distance relationship with anyone right now. So, I'm just seeing this as a time to have fun with someone who is nice and interesting, and who is not my ex-boyfriend or the jerk who never called.

Woah. That was a long post.
