today's topic: my current relationship!
ah...what a wonderful topic. i really think i could write a wonderful book on this topic alone but i'll try not to. plus, it probably makes me sound like one of "those people."
speaking of "those people," you know, the ones who talk only about their significant other and how much they love them and all that mushy stuff...i used to get annoyed by them. but i've come to find that it's just one of those things that i'd rather hear about, as opposed to all of the negative things that i could be hearing about.
my current relationship is pretty rad. i'm dating a chap named paul huff. he's a student at usc studying geography. he's super smart and an awesome musician. he plays drums in a band here in columbia. but i guess the most important thing about paul is that he truly is my best friend. i've heard people say stuff like that before and i always thought they were just saying that to be sweet. but it's just so awesome to be with someone you can sit and talk with and laugh with and cry with. it's a really neat experience.
we started dating on october 31, 2009. we met in february of 09 through my roommate kevin (who plays in a band with paul.) i always liked paul, i could tell he was different from a lot of guys. i never heard him speak negatively about anyone, he was never rude, and his friends never had anything negative to say about him. another plus was that he was never extremely sarcastic. i was a very sarcastic person, sometimes to the point of being rude or insincere. i was trying to become more genuine with people, so i noticed right away that he was genuine. he would joke around but it would be a sly, witty comment.
at the time we met, i think he was kinda seeing someone and i was off being young and stupid and really just kinda going through that searching phase that a lot of twentysomethings go through. a few of my girlfriends who knew the both of us said that we would be great together and i agreed, but kevin always told me that i wasn't "paul's type." so that halted the progress temporarily.
and then there was halloween. a few people were at paul's house so i decided to go over there and hang out. after a few cups of liquid courage, i let paul know that i liked him and much to my surprise/joy, he liked me too!
and so we've been together and having so much fun. we both love cats, which is pretty awesome (and not weird at all.) he's brought so much to my life and has helped me to become the kind of woman that i want to be.
i definitely can't wait to see what's ahead...
