Dating is essential

So although it is very unlike me to be considered a "dating" girl, it's been one of the best things that have happened to me lately. I think it's something that is important to my growing up, if that makes sense. I feel like I've been in this bubble of my regular friends for quite some time, and this is where I latch out. It's wierd, at times uncomfortable, but it's doing very good things. Plus, even though I'm "dating".... I'm taking it slowly. It's again something I needed. I don't feel any rush to do anything (of course my mind thinks other things... lol. It's been a while)

I also hung out with my friend from work, Nate, tonight. That was an experience. I mean we are completely friends and stuff, but it was really sweet. We were SUPPOSED to go to the Walker Art Center because it was APPARENTLY open until 9:00. Yah... I can't read and that was the box office.... galleries close at 5. We go there at 5:30. Y'ah know what we did to make up for it? Bought something from the gift shop. lol. It actually turned out to be a very good thing because he had left his stove on! Eep! No good. Oh yes.... Nate has an AMAZING view. I've never seen such a great view. He has the whole entire Minneapolis skyline in his bedroom window! can you believe it? I can see why he likes his apartment, this is all besides the fact that he has wood floors, high ceilings, and lots of open space. He did very well for himself. And the best part of all is Moped (his kitty). tee hee. wow. love it. But it was really nice to be out of the work atmosphere. we actually have a lot of things in common (MOST MOVIES, some books, interest in mythology, and the list goes on and on) so we just stayed at his place and talked for a while. Then we decided that ice cream was a necessity so we got some of that and watched Donnie Darko. It was fun cuz we talked through the whole thing, commenting on everything. It was hysterical. Then we talked until like midnight. It was a really late night since I got very little sleep, but I had a blast.

I don't have too much to say at that point. Jen and I are looking at two apartments on Monday which i'm SUPER EXCITED ABOUT!!!!!!!!!! I'm soo happy. It'll be fun to live with her. Of course I have to wait for her to go to Rome and then come back again, and then have summer.... but heck, it's worth the wait. Right? I already bought two whole things to put in our lovely apartment. I hope she likes both. she helped pick out one... but the other... is a cheap surprise. yay.

Ok, I have more to say, but I'm spent. World, lets all sleep. night!
