You'll never believe what happened yesterday... I still hadn't gotten in touch with Jackie... I was getting frustrated, i had tried her work every day for the past 4 days and she wasn't there. So, i'm standing at my register at work, and guess who walks in looking for me... heh she said she had missed me and thought we should go chill some time...yay! hee hee, its like its destiny man...yeah... i'm so happy, we're going out sunday...not sure what we're going to do yet though...

oh, btw... Matrix: Reloaded kicks major ass!

oh yeah, i saved a life i feel so good about myself...this dude was carrying 3 12-packs of soda to the counter all stacked ontop of eachother, and his little 2 year old daughter was walking beside him holding onto the leg of his pants...and i wasn't even paying attention...he got up to the counter to set them down and the top one slid off and was going to fall right on his little girl's head!!! but, in that split second, without even thinking, i caught it in mid air over my counter with one hand...it strained my shoulder moving so fast, but damn was it worth it...he was nearly in tears thanking me, and i got applause from people who saw it...i feel so good

so whats new with you fine people?

Critical Jackie update: Okay, so, yeah, we went and saw a movie tonight at the $1.50 theater lol...i went and picked her up, and it was just like old times...i love it...so we get to talking like we used to...so i come up with good news and bad news...
Heres the good news: I'm never any good at hinting at stuff because i come across as a moron, so i just came out and asked her if i would ever have a chance with her again...and she got all smiley and was like "serious? you mean it?" so i was like "yeah" and she said she would be willing! But...
This is where the bad news comes in: She has a boyfriend right now...he's cool with the whole movie thing...she said he was a lot like me with my personality and demeanor, but we were still very different...so...yeah...thats bad...ruins my chances for the moment, but she assured me that if anything ever happened with them, i was "next in line" ...don't really like the phrase she used, and i know she didn't mean it to sound like she was a ride at an amusement park, but you get the picture...

it really is great being around her again...its like nothings changed...on the way over to her house, i was getting really nervous since i haven't really been around her for about a year, but then i realized "hey, we've bathed together and she didn't try to claw out her eyes, what do i have to worry about?" lol

so, if you all want, i'll start a multi-part journal that i'll call When Tyler met Jackie to give you the back-story...what do you think?
