Now it’s getting cozy…

Many thanks to Mr Curt Merrill who painstakingly moved all of my archives and comments from blogspot to UrHo. What a guy. So now I’m pretty much moved in! I still need a banner and my links didn’t make it over yet, but other than that, I’m pretty set. It feels good, you know?
Hey, remember my great plan to get the bulk of my homework done yesterday? Uh huh, it didn’t happen. Instead of reading and doing case studies for seven hours yesterday I:
*took myself out to breakfast
*helped Steve get his car sitch sorted out
*worked on my school blog (smt-cohort.blogspot.com)
*met with a classmate to do “homework” but ended up chatting and playing on the Internet
*planned a 4th of July BBQ
*went on a nice, long date with AJ
Huh. The two productive things I accomplished were:
*I read one chapter of my ESL textbook
*I made a great list of what I need to do this weekend
So today is the day. It’s 2pm now, I will work nonstop until 7 when I have to pick up Coco for ladies poker night.
AJ and I had one of those inevitable early-on relationship talks last night. You know what I’m talking about- “this is where I’m coming from, this is what I want.” It’s amazing how low our expectations get after a while. I mean, I am so wooed by the fact that AJ is considerate- of my time, of my feelings, of my history. He offers me pyjamas and makes me tea in the morning. It seems simple, right? But whatever dumb history I have has corroded my instincts about how I should be treated. And AJ is amazed that I am honest, non-manipulative, and confident. Isn’t that nuts? You get to a pont where you just expect everyone you meet to be crazy. I mean, we all have issues, and we’ve all been hurt, and we’ve all fucked people over, and the outcome is cynicism and low-expectations.
AJ wants me to start using his real name in Perfect Heart. I aked him to think it over some more. He might regret it later.
