so, after a month of seeing each other i decided to make it official with my new friend Dan. so he is now my boyfriend and i am now his girlfriend. its weird saying/typing that.i havent called anyone my boyfriend in a while. it was completely unexpected. but its ok. i put alot of thought into my decision. i didnt just jump into it.


we are so cute its gross.

hes incredibly sweet to me. sometimes too sweet which is when i give him dirty looks and tell him hes a mushy mutherfucker and to shhhh. he has 2 jobs, a car, an amazing family who adores me, friends who think im the shit, plans for his life, nice teeth,my family loves him, his head is squarely planted on his shoulders and seems to be free of any strange mental health afflictions. hes happy and goofy but serious when he needs to be.he supports me in everything i do even when i dont expect him to. its refreshing to be with someone who is happy with himself and his life. hes sexy, cute, and hot all at once. i feel like a teenager again. we cant keep our hands off each other. i havent been this crazy about someone since well.....the last boyfriend.

im still amazed that hes in my life. hes everything ive been looking for but couldnt find. everything id hoped for but never got. everything i had asked for but never received. im trying hard not to fall too fast and hard. but its hard not to when things seem so amazing. i keep expecting something to go wrong. maybe thats just me being paranoid and feeding off my fears and past experiences in relationships.

so needless to say things are good. work is busy, my man is amazing, new friends are sweeter than sweet and old are still there being just as awesome as they always have been. family could use some work but hopefully it will get better soon. im happier than ive been in a long time. it feels good. i still have some bad days. i know i still have alot to work through but things are def on the up and up. fuck im even looking forward to the holidays. now thats rare for me!

im hoping to make it downtown to see the macy's windows and go skating in millennium park. i miss spending time in the city. my sunday nights at Rockbox have been difficult to make with work being so hectic and my bar funds being so low.

im hoping after the holidays he can take a day or two off of work and we can take a long weekend down to carbondale. i want to show him it. so he can understand me and where i have come from better. plus its just fun as shit down there.

new year should be fun. we are planning to go all out and stay in the city somewhere overnight. he suggested flying to new york but im not going to let him spend that much for one silly night.

the other amazing thing he does is bring me pizza when he gets off his second job delivering them.


see hes mushy. he took this pic when i fell asleep on him after eating chinese and watching the bears get spanked. i look so cute in the Forte jersey he bought me.

o and i got a new SG hoodie when they were on sale a few weeks ago. def needed and im glad to see that they are making them better than they were when i first bought them. heavier duty zippers, thicker fabric, better stitching. hopefully it will stay in better shape than my last ones. they fell apart within 6 weeks.

i hope everyone else is doing well. i send you all my love.
