time to catch up

So lets catch up.

My birthday was about 2 weeks ago.  It was a great day!  S let me come in late, so I bought bagels for her, me and M.  One of my former students baked chocolate cupcakes w/ chocolate icing for me, and her best friend also a former student of mine bought me balloons.  A kid in my 4th period made me a cake about the size of a dinner plate.  Well it was for me and a girl in that class b/c it was her b-day too!!  My awesome teaching mentor V, made her world famous crab dip and that was special b/c she doesn’t make crab dip just for anyone.  Then after school S & M & me went to Red Robin.  MC met us there and then MC and I had dinner at Cheesecake Factory.  All of that plus the fact that I received many “Happy Birthday” phone calls, texts, MySpace wall posts and Facebook wall posts.  It was an awesome day!

Now to catch you up on my current “relationship”.  I have no idea how to categorize it.  As I said in a previous post I had read in an article that you should sign up for an online dating service in order to boost your ego and get over a break up.  Well, last week the guy that I met there and I finally met face to face.  To make a long story short we’ve spent time together everyday since Wednesday. 

He’s handsome, sweet, funny and freakishly like me.  I’ve only dated one other guy who was also an only child and he and I were nothing alike.  DJ was also raised as an only child and he is just like me.  We have some of the same mannerisms/ behaviors and even some of the same personality traits.  Okay, I’ll be honest, not some of the same but MANY of the same.  Seriously sometimes I feel like I’m talking to myself.  Today will be the first day that I don’t see him and I really think that it’ll be weird.  But, as he said its not like we won’t talk.

I’m going to say this here b/c I won’t say it to his face. . . HIS EYES ARE GORGEOUS!!!  They are like amber-colored and such a pleasure to stare at.  I won’t tell him to his face b/c I know he probably hears that all the time and that makes the compliment not so special, like people telling me that I have a nice smile.  He has a nice smile too though, w/ perfectly straight teeth, which amazingly enough are natural.  He’s the first person I’ve ever met who’s adult teeth came in straight instead of them needing braces. 

I had such low expectations b/c we had met online first, but this is turning out way better than i thought it would .  I really hope that my moving doesn’t stunt whatever growth this relationship could achieve.  I’m not saying that he’s my next husband or anything, but I feel like we could at least end up being best friends.
