Well the timing's right at least... where do I start?

Well, I remember asking Alex if he knew any cool girls that I might like and he gave me Lynn's SN, telling me that his friend referred her to him but he wasn't really planning on getting into the market hurhur... How unromantic eh? But he showed me her myspace and immediately I knew that she was the one. Okay really I just thought she was "HELLA cute" (haha ask her about that one) and I was going to flirt with reckless abandon. So I don't know how you gauge AIM chemistry... but we had it in abundance. She promptly bombarded me with tons of "OMG I'M SO CUTE" propaganda (I had never even HEARD of YouTube before this) and I was just BAM smitten. Her voice, her face, her expressions, her mannerisms, everything was just SO appealing to me. One thing led to another, and I invited her to go to X-3 with me and my posse. Imagine my surprise when she said "yes."

So here's the big day. I would have put on my "good" outfit except I don't own a "good" outfit. It's T-shirts and jeans for me. I spent the morning doing various errands, just oozing anticipation and planning out my attack. I wasn't sure how I was going to react to being around her. I knew that she smoked, and that has always been a HUGE turn off for me. I am very opinionated when it comes to cigarettes. I go out of my way to be snobbishly rude to anyone that smokes around me. I'm really a bastard in that regard. ANYways, I went and bought all the tickets ahead of time but I underestimated the alacrity with which I'd finish my various sidequests. I ended up sitting in front of the theatre (like my snooty Euro-spelling?) about an hour before we were slated to meet. An hour spent being idle is a terrible thing when you overintellectualise EVERYTHING.

By the time she arrives, I've thought myself into such a mental funk with all the possible things that could go wrong, I'm just seeing nothing but bad signals. (I keep changing tense... FUCK well I'm too tired to rewrite it...) Then I see her and it's BAM all over again. My heart is racing, I'm feeling faint, and all I can think about is one little bit of yesterday's dialogue where she told me that Alex made a post about giving me a kiss in lieu of money for the tickets... and she was wondering if she could opt for the alternative form of payment. So I try to play it cool, don't make eye contact, don't want to seem TOO eager. And... SHE DOESN'T LOOK AT ME. Not even a furtive glance in my direction! So I sit there... silently moping... I look up... and she's GIVING ALEX MONEY FOR HER TICKET! So much for plan A...

Well whatever, all is not lost. Maybe she's just shy (YEAH RIGHT!). So we're sitting on the bench outside, and she proceeds to whip out her purse and show me EVERYTHING that's inside. OMG am I really THAT boring? Blow to the ego #2 /sadface. Regardless, we go into the movie, and I say hell with it and end up leaning WAY into her personal space. She doesn't stop me... but she doesn't really react either. Is she just ignoring me? Putting up with it until she can escape? What the hell is going on!? So she watches the movie and I watch her watching the movie (ew creepy) and she never looks at me, like, ever... At this point I'm feeling really discouraged but then again, a movie isn't really a good place to measure social interaction. On to dinner!

So waiting for our table we get split into two groups. I end up sitting way close to her on a little planter and we're just talking and the chemistry is obvious. I bust out my glasses because I just KNOW she's going to find me even cuter than before. I knew it, she does. More points for me! I won't bore you with the details of dinner, needless to say it was so much fun even if she put me on her bad side which meant 90% of everything I said went unheard. Bleh... But still, dinner ends. We go outside and bullshit for a while and she lights up a cigarette. That's when I notice that she's already lit up a couple times, and I'm STILL 100% TOTALLY INTO HER. I'm not just ignoring the fact that she smokes because I think she's neat. She's so neat that it actually doesn't bother me at all! I had given up on my right to be picky about the important things because every girl fell so short of my desires. I had started being picky about unimportant things that a girl at least would have a chance of fulfilling. HOLY SHIT! Finally I invite her to see my bunny, we drop people off and get to my house.

Bunny has my back like the pimp he is, being EXTRA cute to get her in a cuddly lovey dovey mood muhahahaha. Then we go into our room and I realize I have absolutely NO game whatsoever. I'm at a total loss as to what to do and I just know if I don't think of something I'm going to be kicking myself forever. Finally I grab a pillow and attempt to kill her but she doesn't fight back! Does she think I'm some kind of freak!? I'm sitting on her and she doesn't push me off, but she totally isn't playing along either. I slip the pillow down off her face to sneak a peek and that's when I figure it out. She's just waiting for me to kiss her. So what do I do? I CHICKEN OUT AND TRY TO SUFFOCATE HER AGAIN! Well... FINALLY the idiot gear shuts off and I lean down and kiss her, you know, gently at first. She proceeds to shove her tongue down my throat like she's trying to taste the burger I ate a few hours ago. HOLY SHIT this girl is WAY into me. Well long story short, I end up dropping her off at 7AM and I just know, really know, that this is going to be something special.

Over the next couple days I start getting to know her really well, and it's like my eyes are finally opened to the way life should be. Finally I realize that there's somebody out there who is going to understand me, and care for me in the way I want to be cared for. She's smart, funny, clever, affectionate, beautiful, capable, EVERYthing I've ever wanted in a girl. Suddenly everything makes sense, and despite all the chaos happening around us, I can't help but be the happiest person in the world because I've found something that happens once every millenium. I had joked about how we are "meant to be" numerous times without realising how prophetic that statement was. It's kismet (and how often do you really get an opportunity to use that word?). Of course, this post is WAY too long and boring... so I should probably end it now and continue it later. I promise I'll expound your virtues in epic detail soon!

OMG I LOVE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH IT'S RIDICULOUS!!!
