2:23am: i've never talked to someone for eight hours before (basically straight through) and not been bored, annoyed, or otherwise not particularly engaged in talking to the person on the other end of the line. that's gotta be better than buying expensive gifts (jewelry or tropical vacations).

it's a little bit odd how different people discover how they love each other. like last time with charlie, my love was definitely all consuming. it was all i could think about and it definitely debilitated me most of the time. and i was so wrapped up with making it work, that i almost ultimately destroyed it because i expected it to be something bigger than me and the universe combined. i felt that it was anyway.
don't get me wrong, this time the emotion isn't any less, but it seems to have tempered itself into something a little bit more controllable and less attention starved. it's nice to love with a little maturity, to constantly know (or be willing to believe) that he loves me all the time no matter what i think about the situation. not having to make him prove himself constantly leaves a whole lot more time for actual conversation. and it makes people that are less irritable on both sides. i feel good. i'm happy. :-)
