I did try

I did try…I really did. I tried to tell myself I would not do it. Fall into that trap that so many new couples fall into. The gushy stage…the stage where your friends sort of tolerate you talking about your new significant other and how wonderful they are and how happy you are now. We’ve all been on the receiving end of such declarations and you smile, nod, and you are happy because your friend is happy. But really deep down you just want them to stop it and pray that they move on to the next stage of the relationship where you can talk about something else.

I’ve done my best not to turn into *that* girl. It escapes from time to time. I find myself slipping and relating some silly moment to a friend that they probably could care less about but love me so they listen. I smile and laugh at work when I receive his emails. The sweet one liners, the little inside jokes. They completely make my day. And I thought I would not share this, because I was afraid I may annoy people, but screw it. I’m going to gush…just this once. Ok I’m lying, I’m sure it will be more then once but currently I don’t give a rats ass if it bothers anyone.

If anyone out there reads Rue Morgue and happens to have the new issue I am thanked in the credits. I still can’t believe that Gary did that for me. It was a wonderful surprise. It means so much to me and really I should be thanking him.
