OC #2

this is so dumb and cliche, and i know that years from now, when we're broken up, i'll look back on this and think about how silly i was to post this, but MY BOYFRIEND makes me happy, haha.

i guess this is an opportunity i'm creating for myself to talk about my personal life, which to be honest, i do not feel like i do often. his name is justin boone, he's 19 years old, and he lives in goshen, ohio, this little nowhere-town near cincinnati. he goes to school at UC, and so i can really only see him on the weekends. he drives 2 hours here, then stays with various friends of ours for the weekend and we spend as much time together as we can manage. the entire week beforehand is spent planning out the weekend ahead, each part of the day filled with something different, and we never manage to get through all our plans. this past weekend, on friday, he made my family [they love him!] a lasagna dinner. on saturday, we had a movie night and gathered up some classics from the library, such as "shaun of the dead", and got pizza.

y'know, normally, i wouldn't get sappy like this--normally, i'd say art or music or writing or sunshine or kittens make me happy, but this was honestly the first thing that came to mind. he's probably the best boyfriend i've ever had [unfortunately, that's not saying much, i've had some bad relationships], he surprises me with little gifts like candy [which i LOVE] a lot, and really takes care of me. he helps me out with anything i aspire to do, like my own business, which he helps me manage. that's how i know he really digs me.

i don't mean to totally gush here, but he's ridiculously smart [see also: dorky] too. he's an aspiring pharmacist, so he knows tons of stuff about medicine, prescription drugs, as well as physics and chemistry. he is a huge dork and i love it. him and tessa bonded over DIABETES MEDICATION, WTF.
anyways, he's a big sweetheart, and although it's only really been about two months, things have been going pretty well. we're very beneficial to each other and seem to kind of quench one another's bad sides, haha.

i know we definitely look like opposites--he's a studious dweeb and i'm some sort of beacon of rebellion. we do in fact have opposite personality types, making up for where the other one lacks in just about everything [i make up for his social shortcomings, and he makes up mfor my academic, haha]. one of us picks up where the other leaves off, and part of me thinks that that's a good part of why we work so well. we actually have a lot of interests/hobbies/likes/dislikes in common, he's just more of an anxious, uptight introvert, and i am more of a socially comfortable laid-back individual. regardless of personality types, we work the same way mentally when it comes to most things. we complement each other ridiculously well, despite the clash in appearance. i like how we're so mismatched and i think it's kind of cute. =]

leaving you with the best one::
