it

has been 11 months since the girl said in my car outside of her parent's house "if you don't realize that things are different now, you are very slow." she's very romantic. that morning i gave her 2 boxes of those school valentine card things. 1 was of n sync and the other destiny's child. she opened all of them. how cute. i also gave her the movie lost in translation. we went shopping at the fabulous gurnee mills mall. i then exposed her to an evil beaver concert at the metro and impressed her with my big lens. i was then introduced to the musician and we went with her to the twisted spoke for smut and eggs. it was a perfect day. today started off with me getting up an hour later than i set my alarm for. it went off and i hit snooze. the second time i turned it off because i wanted to snooze some more, but i didn't want to wake the girl. i've been really good about drifting off and waking up a few minutes later. not today though. the girl was the one waking me up telling me that i would be late for work and all i could say to her was "just a few more minutes, don't worry." i tapped her a bit with my fingers. i was trying to communicate "i'm awake. really. look. i'm moving." close to gurnee i ran into the cowboy on the highway. i pulled up beside her and honked a few times to get her attention, waved and then took off. that was a nice surprise. what are the big 11 month anniversary plans you say? well, we might go watch semi pro boxing or to a friend's to watch an ab fab marathon or both. i'm happy with whatever. i just like being with the girl.
