Just My Luck
September 23, 2006
I went to the movies last night with Nifty. We saw the Covenant [finally]. It was a pretty awesome movie, I loved the plot behind it. And the guys were pretty hot haha. Note to self; never mumble “that’s hot” about a sexy actor in a speedo when your boyfriends sitting right beside you. They tend to get a little bit annoyed by that. Ya, I did that. Cause I’m cool. The funny part was I didn’t even know I had said it outloud until he reacted. I’m such a wench.
Afterwards we went to his place and just chilled there with his family. His dad said I could crash on the couch if I didn’t have to work tomorrow, which was thoughtful but I know my rents would never go for it. Because my parents were at a show, I wasn’t sure when they would pick me up. Around eleven we had to leave so Nifty could go to work. They picked me up like twenty minutes after Nifty started his shift as dishwasher extraordinaire.
Then today I had to work. Ewww. I hate working. And today I especially hated it because I was feeling way sick. I felt faint and shaky and light headed, I thought it was because I was hungry so I went and got a huge lunch on my break but that only made me feel sick. My manager sent me home. I bet they’re extremely pissed off at me but I really don’t care. It’s Wendy’s. If they fire me, I’m sure a different store will hire me.
So that was my day and my day before that. Now it’s time for me to gush, because I am happy and when I’m happy I gush. So if you would like to avoid reading the legendary Miss Misery gushing about her boyfriend part then by all means, go ahead. I won’t force you to read it haha.
Today, he called me and we were talking for like three hours on the phone. During that three hour conversation, he said once that he thought he was very lucky to have me. Which is shocking, because most guys my age don’t realize what a wonderful thing someone as brilliant and talented at everything as myself is to have as a girlfriend (just kidding). I asked him if he usually said corny, romantic things to his past girlfriends and he said “no, just you. Because you deserve to hear it, and I honestly feel it”. Awwwwwwww! I am an expert with telling if someone is trying to get in my pants, and this guy isn’t. He’s extremely focused on the other parts of our relationship, not just the physical things which is rare and refreshingly cool. He’s the kind of guy that would rather cuddle just to hold you. So sweet haha. I think I’m the lucky one.
Ok, I’ve filled my gushing quota for today.

You’re getting a good taste of the respect a man should have for women, which is great. This guy sounds pretty good; I can’t say anything more than that because I haven’t met him (and I doubt I ever will), but that doesn’t mean you should let your guard down.
To begin with, relationships go in stages. The numbers given by the so-called “experts” vary between 3 and 12, but most say anywhere from 4-6. I only bring this up to mention the first 2 phases; I’m not gonna bore you with all the details, you know how to google if you want more.
The first 3-6 months (sometimes a year) are considered the “honeymoon” phase, where everything’s perfect. “Romantic” love (aka “hormones”) is completely in charge and you mentally emphasise your similarities.
In the second phase, the hormones begin to wear off and you suddenly begin to notice, and even accentuate and focus on, your differences. This is where most relationships end because the emotional “high” is no longer there. People who think “Romantic” love is “Real Love” tend to drop out because they don’t “feel in love” anymore.
Remember, It takes about a year and a half to really get to know an adult, but people your age are still changing a great deal. This includes personalities.
The last thing is a warning:
I don’t know what your parents taught you concerning morality, it’s not really my business. However, I have seen firsthand the devastating effects of premarital sex, and I strongly recommend against it.
Even if you have no intention to go all the way, passions can flare unexpectedly, so be careful.
I’ll stop embarassing you now.
