last night i went to an alumni event for my college and i left feeling like a pile of crap: ugly, worthless and underapreciated. so much schmoozing and fakers, and people trying to top each other or gossiping about so and so. afterwards I wanted to go home SO BADLY but senator had made plans with another couple and i was obligated to go.
we ended up having a good time, they're a recently married couple who have known each other for 10 years (since the 9th grade). their new apartment is AMAZING and i felt out of place and jealous, and the wife was this pretty delicate little thing. beautiful and the perfect hostess. thier place was impecable and it made me feel even worse.
when we got home i got into my "ugly clothes" aka my baggy pants and baggy sweatshirt and went into the living room. senator asked what was wrong and i instantly burst into tears but i couldn't tell him what was going on. i was embarrased and didn't know how to and after holding me for awhile, he said, "look. i've got two shoulders. you can pick which one to cry on. i dont know what's wrong but i'm willing to listen" and he did. and i felt so much better afterwards. he complimented me, he told me i was beautiful, he told me i looked pretty, that my hair looked nice and more importantly, he told me "people like you, you make people feel good about themselves, and they trust you."
for someone who has a hard time opening up and being... a person, he sure can light up my heart.

That was really sweet of him:) Agrr, I hate when that happens. Its like you know you shouldnt be jealous but its hard not to be. It's best when some one can open your eyes like he did. He's right too. I don't know you outside of the blog world but in my opinion you're really easy to talk too. A really great person:)
