i'm in your shadow, everywhere i go

I'm catching up to the number of posts i had on my old blog... three more and it will be equal. lol.

i've had no incentive to write, since my doppelganger is actually nearest to me and not anywhere near a computer. we are meeting tonight, which is exciting. :)

senator and i had our first real date last night. in some ways, it's kind of silly, because we live together, we've been friends for five years etc etc. but i got the message across that just because we DO live together doesn't mean we get to cheat on the dating part. so he planned a date and didn't tell me where or what. i got home last night and decompressed, and we left. he took me to this indian restaurant we've both been wanting to go to for quite some time and they had a really cool setup inside. instead of regular booths, they had these couch things with pillows. and since there were only like 5 people in the restauarant, it was really quiet. we started out sitting across from each other but it felt wierd so he came and sat next to me. i wore my new dress (and promptly got yellow daal on it. oops) and we had SO MUCH FOOD. i didn't even feel like we ordered that much but i haven't been eating much lately and i think my stomach shrunk. the food was really good and there were only a few awkward silences. afterwards niether one of us really wanted to go home, and since it's ridiculously light outside until almost 9pm, we decided to go mini golfing, which was actually in the plan for MY date. but when we got there, they were closed early for a private party. lame.

so we just started driving and looking at houses and whatnot, and ended up in some nice neighborhood. we drove up the top of this giant hill and parked and could see all the way down to the ocean through the canyons. we watched the sun finish setting and just talked, and after awhile it got cold so we left. on the way back down the hill, the fireworks from the angel's game went off and we stopped and watched them for a few minutes. he drove me to another spot with a great view, and then we went home and went in the hot tub.

all in all, it was a pretty great first date. we were laughing because we're doing everything backwards. we've been friends for five years, we've lived together for a year, we made out/got physical, and THEN went out on our first date. i think it's funny. but it's so much better this way. there's no awkward dating, no feeling like we have to fill the silences, it's all just very... comfortable.

and the fact that he saved my life is pretty cool too.

no joke. i've had asthma for as long as i can remember but haven't had any problems with it in YEARS. but two nights ago while we were in the hot tub i had a really bad attack and it got to the point where i started to pass out. he took care of me and found my inhalor (how, only god knows) and made sure i didn't drown. it was terrifying.

so yeah. he's pretty much great. i have a good idea for our second date (which im planning) and i hope it goes well. i'm excited.
