Daily affirmations of a word mercenary
And all my friends were there: Katy & Nate, Danielle & Chris, Courtney & Bri, Lara, Collin & Lara, Gilby, Mia, and Vanessa, EVERYONE — including Andreas who is a friend of Collin’s who I have bumped into several times and who is I think the most perfect man I have ever met. I’m willing to go out on a limb about this one: I am so overwhelmingly stoked on this boy … he is exactly just right in just about every way! I could fall in love tomorrow if I let myself! Let me spell it all out: Outdoorsy but a city mouse now. He is the most amazing dancer, similar to Cedar almost. He’s expressive, creative, respectful, smart, cute as hell, has a nice body and is stoked on cuddling. Oh my god, he is the best kisser! We have just kissed for hours and HOURS. I mean, on New Years we started kissing and just COULD NOT STOP and go dance. At one point, I just walked up to him and said “Andreas, I can’t dance because I can’t stop thinking about your mouth…” He, apparently, has had a thing for me for a while, so you can imagine his stokedness to have me drag him out into an alley push him up against a wall and just kiss and kiss and kiss for days. GOD! I am so totally impressed with this guy! I would be worried, but we’re so on the same level that I have no qualms about just letting myself fall fall fall. I trust him for some reason … I think he deserves it! GOD! I’d be so stoked if I’ve actually met someone who is as truly right for me as it feels like. IT JUST FEELS JUST RIGHT! You know how you know. WHAT LUCK!! ♥ Ariel
January 2, 1998 Wow!
1998 has been an amazing year so far! New Year’s had to be the best new years I’ve ever had! I’m serious! The party was perfect … the decorations were the most beautiful I’ve ever seen … trees and moss and leaves and curtains everywhere … the music was great and eclectic … some jungle, house, breaks, trance, progressive … all of it!

I have a little tear in my eye. It’s so obvious 10 years later that you guys are perfect together. Sometimes you just know.
I love you both.

“WHAT LUCK!”
That was the best bit :o)
Like something out of an old romance novel: ‘By jove, you know I think I’ve just fallen in love! What luck!’

Awwww!
This is funny:
I could fall in love tomorrow if I let myself!
Yup. You could fall in love tomorrow. If you let yourself. That is, if you weren’t clearly completely head-over-heels in love already…
