A Lovely (And Somewhat Crappy/Early) Valentine

Dear Readers,

Remember how I bitched about trying to find someone and being all hot and dudes should be crawling all over me? Well, I didn't use the at-a-bar-go-to-his-place-drunken-sloppy-not-call-you-the-next-day-sex-walk-of-shame method to meet a guy. I went the more legitimate way and found someone online! Yeah, I know. Go ahead and judge me. I am still seeing this same Gentleman since I have mentioned him on this here little blog, and he's still equally as awesome. Sometimes I feel like I'm waiting for the ball (or crabs, you know...whatever!) to drop, but it hasn't yet. So yay!

I've been through it all....guys that were self involved, guys that were pre-occupied with money/material items (and that's all), guys obsessed with the desire to smack a bitch up, guys obsessed with odd fetishes.....in general, the most sane person I've met is the Gentleman online. Weird. Maybe I should knock on some wood when I say that. He could be making a creepy doll out of hair I've left behind as I type this.......I'm totally joking (and I know he's reading this).

Let me get to the sweet stuff. The uuushy gooshy. He makes me happy. He makes me smile. We're both going through some rough times right now (me: unemployment, and him going through some other things...) but we're still able to laugh and genuinely help each other through the rough patches that life has unfortunately thrown at us at this point in time. It's amazing to me to have someone in my life that's so supportive, when guys I've dated for 4+ years weren't nearly as supportive of my life. It's refreshing to know that a person can think of someone other than themselves or money/material items. Time for more comparing....just joking!

Let me list some reasons why I love (yes, LOVE) this guy, the Gentleman.....

1. He's an artist! (I think it's an obsession and requirement that you must be artistically inclined to date me)

2. He's an animal lover (two well behaved pets....hello? kids?! I'm totally kidding, I would murder children at this point in my life)

3. He's truly understanding (and I said that before in the past, but he is truly understanding of ALL things)

4. He likes to bake. (Ummmmm, hello?!!!! He's making funfetti cupcakes as I'm typing this!)

5. He motivates me to become a better person (this should be a necessity in every relationship)

6. He respects and actually loves the fact that my family is so traditional (this has been a killer to every relationship I've had)

7. He likes my friends and wants to have them over (nuff said there)

8. Did I mention he likes to bake, my friends?

9. He doesn't judge. Like at all. Yay! (maybe it has something to do with the fact that he's a Buddhist, but I've met other Buddhist before and they weren't nearly as awesome as he is)

10. He gives me a hard time (it takes a lot for a person to match and put up with my bullshit/horrible jokes, and he can respond with a joke that's ten times meaner, which in retrospect helps me with my material).

11. He loves comedy (nine times out of ten, I want to see a comedy, not some damn romantic comedy, yuck!)

12. He loves to play games. Not the "play games" kind of shit, but like Scrabble and games that make you think.

13. Speaking of games, he bought me Candyland when he went out to the grocery store because I mentioned how much I loved that game as a child.

14. Um, hello people(s)?! He let me cut off his long luscious hair because I wanted to have fun. Who does that? (and don't comment "a guy that wants some pussy")

15. He stares at me (and not in a creepy let-me-make-that-second-doll-out-of-your-hair kind of way) to tell me that I'm beautiful. And when I comment that my face is greasy or something or another, he tells me he loves me like that.

16. Oh yeah, number sixteen! He loves me just the way I am. Flaws and all.

17. HE LOVES ZOMBIES JUST LIKE I DO.

Needless to say, he's pretty awesome and I think he thinks I'm pretty awesome too (again don't say its because he wants some pussy!). Happy Valentine's Day mah boo! And Happy Valentine's Day to my (few) readers too! May you spend the day with someone (or something, such as booze or drugs) that you love!

Love,
