the amazing weekend of awesomeness…
So I’m pretty sure that anyone who follows me anywhere online knows that Jaron came to visit me this weekend. I had been getting really excited and my hopes were a lot higher than I was really comfortable with….
Well the weekend, and Jaron arrived I was definitely nervous. An infestation of butterflies took over and I found myself downtown waiting on a train. I wasn’t looking for the guy I went to college with 5 years ago… I was looking for the man from the pictures, from the emails… and of course he was at the end of the crowd.
I didn’t have a concrete plan other than I just wanted to spend as much time as possible with him. And I think we did pretty well. We played co-op New Super Mario Bros. on the Wii — a game I need to own. We watched Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog — and he sang along… And then not wanting to wait any longer, “I vote yes on giving this a try.”
“Me too.”
We’re a couple now. And a freaking adorable, and probably sickeningly cute, couple. We held hands through Avatar at the IMAX. Held hands as we walked through my favorite park — The LP Zoo. Made out in front of the Puffin exhibit. We were so cute that a manager (quite possibly the owner) of the Meatloaf Bakery just needed to talk to us.
It was over far too quick. The weekend, of course. And it was also almost cut way to short — I was almost called into work. That would have sucked balls. Luckily we got a full day together. And then he had to go back home. It’s a 4 hour train ride. It’s not terrible, but it’s definitely far enough.
He was the first to say “I’ll miss you.” He texted me a photo of my favorite animal at the Zoo after I got back to a Jaron-less home. My heart would race each time he kissed me. He gave me massages without one single prompt. He didn’t care that I kept stealing his power-ups.
He’s the best.

Thanks Sebby!
No clue when I’ll see him next. But I’m sure we’ll do what we can to see each other again.

I never hated the other couples… but I did hate those that went from sickly cute to just sickly. Some people take PDA too far.

aw, thanks MinD!!
I wish it was four minutes, but I also realize it could be a lot worse/further… so a four hour train ride (plus the 30-minute El to get to that train… and then the 45 minute drive afterward)… TOTALLY WORTH IT TO GET TO HIM!
