happiness galore....

Well, it certainly has been another long hiatus...hasn't it? It would seem that Lita likes to run away for long periods of time doesn't it? I suppose I should explain a few things though. With the exception of last November...it's usually a good sign when I don't update for long stints. It usually means I'm happy. And, well...I've been rather happy recently. Over the course of the entire Christmas break, Jerrod and I talked with each other every night...and emailed each other. We learned a lot about each other too. I don't know why, but I always found it so easy to talk to him. I felt like I could tell him just about anything. But most importantly, I felt I could be completely myself around him. And so..that made me really happy.All in all, when I got back, on the the 4th, Jerrod and I went on a walk despite the freakin' cold rain. And me, being the weird person that I am, reveled in the rain drops that splashed my glasses. We ended up sitting down on the steps of a church not too far away from campus. It was a lot of fun, just like the other walks I had taken with him. But this one was different. This time, he asked me out.
Of course...he said it something along the lines of "So, I was just wondering what you would think of us possibly dating." I had to sit there quietly for a moment cause I was pondering the irony and, therefore, almost started laughing. The irony being, of course, that he always told me that he was a hopeless romantic and that was the best way he could come up with to ask me out. I started wondering exactly how to answer though. The first thing that popped into my mind...."Sure." lol. So that was the beginning of Jerrod and myself dating.
The poor boy has like no confidence though. After a week, I got tired of waiting on him to try and kiss me. So..I took matters into my own hands, and gave him his first kiss. I'm trying to help him learn that he can be adventurous. You know, a little more brave. I guess I am sort of old fashioned in not wanting to be dominant in the relationship all the time. Though he does have this wonderful way of just lightly rubbing his fingertips over my arms and back that just...I don't know, calms me and makes me happy. He also recently discovered that my scalp is sensitive. He could lull me into sleep just by using that light touch on my head. And he almost succeeded earlier today. o.O
The one really scary thing about him is how much he sometimes reminds me of Toki. He'll say certain phrases that just make my jaw drop with how much they sound alike. Ah well...I'm happy and that's what counts. We also have this conversation that happens almost every night...One where he tells me I'm pretty or wonderful or something and I tell him he's delusional....teeheehee. Jerrod's just such a wonderful guy and I'm so happy that he's a part of my life.
I have also changed rooms and roommates. Crystal and I found an empty room and moved in as quickly as we could. I like this room a lot better except for the distance from the bathroom. However, the room mate and the size make it worth it. Thus far, only one thing has been done to annoy me, but we discussed it and it has been fixed. ^^ So I am definitely one happy Lita-chan right now!
Peace!
