Bittersweet weekend, it was. Friday night I spent with the "new one", aka Loren. Initial plan was to go dancing - yee-haw! But considering he was late in calling me, I trotted over to friend, Tracey's house, for wine with her, Tammy and Kristal. I was one glass away from finishing my bottle of wine when I received his call - a last minute invitation to dinner with him, his best friend and his parents. Of course I accepted - I can't resist this guy. Upon meeting his mom, she hugged me right away. I love that in a person!! So dinner was good. Afterwards, a quick stop by the parents' house where I was given more drink and shown the family photo albums. You'd think this would be an uncomfortable thing, but this guy, and his family it seems, are so much fun, light-hearted and comfy. I like him. Please... stop me from falling!!! My heart cannot take it right now!! Alas! Went dancing. Wonderful! Wonderful! The friend left with some girl, leaving us stuck with no car. Made it back to his place somehow and, upon changing into comfy clothes, spent the next couple hours dancing in his living room. Seriously, I've yet to meet a guy who can dance like him. We then went to bed - cuddler!!! Who needs sex? I want to be a cuddle-slut! Awoke Saturday, chatted and laghed in bed and I returned home carefree and smiling. That night, I went to a hockey game with another friend, Mike. Hockey game was fun, fun, but the beginning and end of this night were a bit more on the serious side, as it would seem our relationship, although very close, is a bit much for me right now, and for him as well. We will undoubtedly remain the closest of friends, but expectations are diverse. As I told him, I have never in my whole life felt the way I feel right now. This freedom is both exhilerating and depressing all at once. I have many plans for myself and it will take someone very, very special to fit into them. Realistically, though, aloneness, although still frightening, is my best option, and this is where I plan on expending most of my energy right now. On that note, I am proud to say I spent Sunday with my family - all of em - but I eveninged alone with Sigmund (my cat). I made it! Hooray for me!
