Well I’m not much of a romantic so I can’t be blamed for ruining Valentine’s Day.
I am a female and I am a human so I can have moments. I am capable of appreciating some of those ooey gooey things and I did appreciate my Friday. (I will note I did have to miss out on something big for me, but you have to make personal sacrifices and put in effort to maintain relationships I guess.)
Friday Boon’s family was gone so we actually had the house to ourselves. Yes it is weird for me to be dating a guy who lives with his parents, but his mom is really nice and you get used to it. (I should note that Boon is younger than me and currently working on moving out.)
Anyway we had the whole house to ourselves. The day before I’d told him lobster was on sale at Meier. I’d been blunt enough to tell him I’d like to eat that for dinner and he quickly said ok. He might not be so good with on the spot adventures but if you give Boon advance notice he can pull off a lovely night.
He had a little tray with heart shaped candies on the table and there were flowers in pink water that could have been a new decoration for me or something his mother had out already. Anyway we got to sit at a real table. He had to look up videos on youtube for how to cook the lobster tails so it took a while for the food to be ready.
Mind you I had been doing math homework prior to going over so it was about 8pm by the time I got there so we ate well after 9. And I’d gotten up at 4:45am in order to get more homework done.
Long story short I fell asleep during the dinner movie on our day after Valentine’s Day sorta thing. The movie was Jackie Brown and it’s a really cool movie and I genuinely want to go back and watch the last 20 minuets but I just got too tired.
I should add that the food was fantastic. Asparagus seasoned just right and collar greens with onion and garlic were the side dishes. I downed several mixed drinks which might have contributed in part to my falling asleep.
We had a really nice hang out the next morning. It was the sort of cool hangout where we didn’t just sit there and watch something. We talked and I showed him some comic books I got from the library. It was one of those days you didn’t realize you needed in your relationship until after you got it.
It’s one of those days that makes the fact that I’m moving so far away from him more scary. But he’s got a lot of exciting new stuff developing too. Everyone around me is progressing which is really cool and I’m happy for everyone but It makes you less sure of where things are going and where we will all end up.
