while you're waiting...

i guess i'll write something to fill the void...

ok. bobanna suggested a great topic to write about, and where i would love to say that i am the king of romance, i am not. valentines' day makes us all try to live up to this ideal of being totally romantic and thoughtful people...for one day. you should show your love for someone you care about EVERY DAY. valentines day is just a ploy for people to make money. HOWEVER, i am not against it totally. even though i don't know many people who have really great stories of the holiday. i've done the dinner thing and the flowers thing...but the thing behind all of this is that i really have been doing that the whole time. not just on one specific day. i do have one really cool story though. it's not about something that i did, it's about something that jen did.

we had just started going out, way back during our jr and sophomore years of high school. i had just made the All-Northwest honor choir and i was going to be away (in bellevue no less-this was when we were still in AK) for our first valentines day. sad right? well, i left a bunch of goodies and cool lovey-dovey stuff there for a friend to give jen. i thought for a while that i wouldn't get anything for the holiday, as there was no real way for her to get stuff to me. to my suprise, toward the end of the day i walked into my hotel room and i had a bunch of gifts sitting there waiting for me! i was really happy, needless to say. i called her and asked her how she got them to me. at first she said she'd never tell. eventually she said that she flew down just to put the stuff on my bed and then she left. horse-shit right? i thought it was one of her friends who made the choir with me, but he still swears to this day that he didn't, and he's a minister now! the cool part about this story is that all these years later, jen still sticks to her story and i still don't know for sure how she got me all that stuff from alaska. i still have the teddy bear she left though, her name is princess.

so, there's my story. i don't have any real sad ones or anything, i've been really lucky over the years.

ok, there ya go.

i hope everyone is doing well and having a good weekend!

-keep it real
