Okay, so I'm getting pretty good at this whole "blogging" thing.
Last night, I had the weirdest dream. I was with my old German class at college (in class, DUH!) and we were watching New Moon. Having blogged about Chan and my adventure that included seeing it, I tried to rationalize IN MY DREAM why I'd be watching this monstrosity over again.....unless it would be with my very good friends, Britt and Jeremy, as we watch it with this little voiceover thing that gives humorous commentary NOT made by the actors or filmmakers, or anyone really associated with the film.....
But I digress.
As we were watching, we came to the part where Jacob rushes to Bella's aid after she had taken her motorcycle, rode it seemingly for a minute or so, lost control, and crashed it, hitting her head.....and in my mind, HOPEFULLY knocking some sense into that peabrain of hers.....but I was so wrong....
Jacob rides up on his bike, rides 3 feet, jumps off of it with this really over-exaggerated spin move, and rushes to Bella, who has a small cut on her forehead that's not really bleeding all that much, but it was enough to where Jacob felt the need to RIP OFF HIS SHIRT to staunch the blood....much to my disgust and the squeals of happiness from the rest of the female population.
And then, my dream shifts. The movie stops. Class is over. As we all started walking away, my friend Daniel---who is the biggest teddy bear ever---and one of the best people I know to boot, comes up to me and asks, "Wouldn't having sex in pine needles be awkward?"
My reply......was to say nothing, because he continued. "I mean, you'd be all like, "OWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!" as you were being stuck with thousands of pine needles...and then the forest creatures.... you have to think of them as well....."
"Lay off the Skittles, man," I say. "The rainbow has obviously messed with your brain."
And then I woke up, bewildered, to the sound of my phone going off.....alerting me that I had a text message from Chan.
The more I think about my dream, the more uncomfortable I get. Not just because it was Twilight related, or that my German class would watch it for that matter....just from the fact that my subconscious mind is very disturbing. I really, REALLY don't want to ponder this any further.
Anyway, I guess that's enough horror for now...
Peace, love, and all that jazz.
Family is the best thing a person could ever have!

Lightning Bolt of Love
Okay, I, of course, have been bitten by the infamous "Love Bug".
I swore to myself that I would never let myself be like countless of those girls who just "can't live a second without him", or "can't imagine what life was like before she met him", but of course, I'm now a hypocrite.
Chan and I have been together for a little over two months now, and it's been bliss. It didn't start out that way, though.
We first met a little over a year ago (December, 2008) at Julie and Chris's big New Year's Bash they have every year. This year, we were to meet at Jillian's at Discover Mill's Outlet Mall for a night of fun. Chris and Julie are mutual friends of both mine and Chan's. They had informed me that this party would include friends from their hometown, and that they really wanted me to come as well. They had told me a little about some of their gang, and they sounded like a fun group to be around. However, I'm very socially awkward around those I don't know very well. I was also experiencing relationship issues (we were complicated.....never deciding to completely call it quits, but not exactly wanting to make the effort to fix things either) and so I was a little unsure about socializing. They mentioned that they thought their friend Chan would be a good match for me, saying, "He's nerdy, very intelligent, respectful, and fun to be around...and he's also from Spain, so that also might be interesting since your family is from Germany, and it might be something different". Taking a chance, I went to the gathering.
Oh boy, was I in for it....
Chris and Julie's friends seemed nice enough, but I wasn't totally sure. I stayed mostly quiet, and stuck to Chris and Julie pretty much like glue. My first impression of Chan? He seemed nice, but he seemed totally disinterested in me. I don't remember either of us saying barely two words to each other the entire time.
Flash forward to August 20, 2009.
Julie's 21st birthday was held at Dave & Buster's near Gwinnett Place Mall. Once again, Chris and Julie's friends came, along with some of the people I knew from Carrollton. Since I no longer go to school with Chris and Julie and our little gang at West Georgia, it was a treat to see them. I sat at the bar enjoying a few drinks while chatting idly with Chuck, a friend of mine I hadn't seen since his van mishap on I-20 at 11:30 at night a few months before. As the conversation dwindled and Chuck left, I turned to my right....and there, sitting two chairs down, was Chan. I don't remember who started the conversation (I blame the alcohol, personally...even though I didn't drink THAT much, and besides, the alcohol we had consumed earlier loosened us both up enough to actually have the courage to talk to each other)...but we ended up talking the rest of the night. As we got ready to go to our respective houses, we exchanged Facebook information and friend requested each other. We hugged goodbye (I remember him asking me if we were even to the point to where that would be socially acceptable, which was adorable.... and left.
Over the next few weeks, we started chatting via Facebook Chat about random things. Mostly, it had to do with school and work....but a few interesting tidbits mixed in here and there. I discovered I really liked talking to him. He suggested we go out for drinks several times, but the timing was never right. Finally, on November 21, 2009, we decided to go out. We were supposed to meet in front of the Apple Store in the Mall of Georgia, and then go across the street from the mall to Taco Mac for food and drinks....and then go see a movie afterward. Well, I arrived at the appointed time, but Chan was late. He called finally, saying that he'd gotten into a car wreck on the way there.....but that he was fine and on his way. I was so worried!! When he finally appeared, I ran into his arms and hugged him tight. The fact that he got in a wreck coming to see me scared me so much....and I could tell he was a bit shaken from the ordeal as well.
We went to Taco Mac, where we both got salads for dinner, as well as our drinks. We sat there for a long time just enjoying each other's company before we decided to head out to see a movie. While walking to the theatre kiosk to buy tickets, he turned to me suddenly and said, "This has been a pretty good date, no?" I was shocked. I never thought it was a date....I just thought we were two friends who were going out to dinner and such and having a good time! The more I thought about it, though....the more I discovered I didn't mind the idea of us dating each other. I agreed, and we went to go buy tickets.....to New Moon.
Man, what a terrible movie!
I mean, I hated Twilight. The books were really bad. So was the movie. I think Chan and I laughed hysterically the entire time. We shared our first kiss somewhere during the movie....and everything else faded away. It was really, really nice. Afterwards, I put my head on his shoulder and he held my hand. We stayed like that for the rest of the movie.
The last 2 months and some odd days have been a blur. Chris and Julie were right.....he IS truly perfect for me in every way. He cheers me up when I'm sad, takes care of me when I'm sick (I got food poisoning once when he took me to dinner at Olive Garden, followed me home when I said I didn't feel well, and stayed with me (holding my hair back when I got sick, or holding me while I was in bed shivering to keep me warm), and then checked on me incessantly during the following days. He is truly my Knight in Shining Armor, if there were such a thing. I hope that everyone finds the love and contentment that I have found with Chan.
I'm so glad he's in my life, and that he picked me to be his girlfriend. The guys I've dated in the past don't hold a candle to Chan. Not even close. So this Valentine's Day, I'm actually excited about. I have a man I love......finally.
