A segmented post to spare those of you who are sick of my swooning.

I spent last night in Auburn with Jared since otherwise it would have been 2 weeks straight without seeing each other. It was only the second time I'd been out there, but I waltzed in all familiar like and promptly dropped my bags and glomped on him. We cuddled for a little bit, then got some dinner and watched The Neverending Story II. What a terrible movie! But with plenty of jokes about "luck dragons" and shoulder-pad compensation, we made it through fine. Then we watched Repo! The Genetic Opera with his roommates, and then we cuddled some more. This morning we got up early before he had to be at work, and we drank coffee on the porch and watched the wind play with the canary yellow leaves outside, and we held hands when we walked out to our cars, and even though we were leaving we couldn't help but have these huge grins on our faces cause everything is so perfectly okay when you're in love. We'll miss each other, but we'll be fine.

The status now is that we've both been the evidence for each other that true love and soul mates do exist. We are planning to spend the rest of our lives together, and, even though sometimes a part of me still goes "This is crazy! I can't believe this has happened to me!" The bigger part of me goes "Wow. So this is my other half. Awesome." It's part mind-blowing, part absolutely normal, comfortable, and as if he was always there. Amazing.

He's going to put in for a transfer to the Erie County ARC at the end of January, and hopefully if we can find the right place he'll move out here in March. And pretty much from then on, we'll be building our lives together. And oh, do we have plans... muwahaha!

I went for an interview at Catherine's (a clothing store) where CJ works, and it looks like, as long as the regional manager approves, I'll be working about 12 hours a week for the next few weeks. Nice. Having an income again, no matter how small, is a stepping stone to getting me back into the flow of prosperity. I'd like a good 9-5 (or 8-4, whatever) after I graduate, something that pays enough to have my apartment with Jared and the kittehs, and save up for some adventures. But what I'd really like, of course, is to be published and phenomenally successful. All you rational, paying-attention-to-reality people need not comment on the unlikelihood, for I beg to differ, and we can agree to disagree before the disagreement is voiced ;) I have perfect faith in my ability to be a successful novelist, and now it's just a matter of getting myself into the right mindset to manifest such a career. Now that I have a partner to imagine that life with, it's even easier than before.

I'll be camping this weekend! Back to Allegany for a couple of nights in the mountains with the bears. Hopefully the leaves are still on the trees there, and the weather will be nice.

And now, I think I shall nap...

Have a great weekend everyone!
