One Short Week

Starting last Saturday I spent 7 days in Hillsdale Michigan visiting Jacquelynn Glass. My long time friend of many years and my friendationship thing for over 4 months. I was extremely nervous about arriving at a place that I had never been before and to see a girl in real life that I had really only interacted with over the internet. What made things worse was that I had to first go through three hours of a car ride with her parents. I had not met her parents before this point. I don't really do well with meeting people in general, and these people were the barrier to the person I really liked. And it was their daughter. I was riding with the FATHER to go spend a week with his precious little girl. It wasn't a bad car ride at all. Her parents were quite tired since they had been up since 4 in the morning, Vegas Time. It was a little quiet, but I tried to talk as much as I could and jabber away about things I knew without being too opinionated. There may be a time for that later, but arguments then was not good. A lot of hot issue topics didn't really come up however, mostly just simple things about the drive and travel. I really hope I made a good first impression. I tried real hard!

When we arrived at her house, I started to panic. I wasn't ready. Even though I had known we were getting really close, I wasn't ready. I was about to meet Jacquelynn! The girl of my dreams! I saw the door to the house open and my heart started pounding. I remember the way she walked out of the house. She came up to the car and pressed her face against the window. She was so close. I got out of the car and just stood around awkwardly. She was hugging her parents who had been gone for a week. I am so glad that happened first, I don't know what I would have done otherwise. I turned back toward her mother, who she had been hugging and saw her standing there looking at me. In that moment, as she started running toward me, so many things just clicked into place for me. I caught her in a huge hug that transferred from the air to the ground. I was so happy in that moment. I don't even know how to describe it. We just fell into place from there. We walked inside, I didn't let her carry anything, partially because her gifts were in my computer bag, and the suitcase is heavy...I'm terrible I know, but it's just how I am. Anyway, standing in her house we just started holding hands. There was zero awkwardness. To which I am so grateful. There was a lot of tension though. When giving me a tour our faces met quite close. We both knew that a kiss was coming. We both felt it. I have to say, this was my favorite first kiss. I haven't had many so it seems a little weird, but it was just different. It was a HUGE build up. I felt it every time I turned to look at her face. it was at least an hour I think. It was just so perfect to me. Same night I buttered her up with three little owls and asked her to be my girlfriend. Done. I was dating a beautiful girl. We updated facebook right after it was done. We were both so excited to finally be able to say it. We had been toying around it for years. I almost can't believe that I can call her my girlfriend. Much smiles.

Sunday! I went to bed Saturday night and woke up Sunday morning afraid that it had all been a dream. Seeing that I was in a hotel room made my heart swell. I was up about two hours before we had agreed to "set and alarm for". I laid in bed too excited to sleep. I wanted to see Jacquelynn again. Turns out she was having a similar problem and we just decided to fuck sleep and start our day. Which was awesome. She made me breakfast food. I LOVE breakfast food. Hashbrowns, eggs, toast, kielbasa (great addition to the breakfast foods.) It was a very chill day. I met a BUNCH of her friends when we went to see the movie brave. This was also my first interaction with Maggie. See, I needed Maggie to like me. She is quite important. She spent the first few sentences to me analyzing my face from an artists perspective. "Your nose it nice. It's symmetrical. Symmetrical people are pretty. Your eyes are too close together though, and I don't like the color" It was the weirdest dinner I had ever had. I didn't really know how to react! But Jacquelynn helped me out with her words and the conversation shifted. Brave was good. I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed holding Jax's hand during the movie. After the movie, we did what all small towns do, we hung out at the walmart! Happy friends time! I liked getting to know Matt and Maggie more. I have heard about their escapades in WalMart many times, but being a part of one was special for me. Included. Part of her life.

It is really weird, and awesome, as well, because we really did just fall into perfect step with one another. It was like I had been holding her hand, sneaking small kisses, and riding around Hillsdale with her my entire life rather than a day. Cuddling together just worked, being together just worked. I had one of the best Zoo experiences ever with her (I keep saying best and most, and I feel it might seem a bit over used, but the problem is that this week was the best of my life by far. I don't think there is a single thing that Jacquelynn couldn't make better just by the fact that she was there, so yeah, all of the bests.) Except for the fake owl. Damn the zoo. It doesn't even make sense for them to have a fake owl. It's a ZOOO. Lame. She got some great pictures though, and I spent the entire day trying to convince her of the danger of giraffes. They have powerful clomping hooves! I've heard tales of their terror! Tuesday we went and saw a movie and had a pretty chill day. It was nice. I took her to Applebee's...Angry. They messed up her order so badly. Much anger. Also on that fateful Tuesday, Jacquelynn spent the night with me at the hotel. I had said that I thought she should stay over Friday night, since it was my last night in town, and she said that she would see. Then we were thinking that maybe we should do it on Tuesday as well since we were going to Michigan Adventures in the morning. It's great logic, it's a long drive, easier to start in one place. Anyway, it was a pretty awesome night. I had never really slept in the same bed as someone, ever, and me and her slept pretty well together. The only problem that night was the room. It was like a fucking desert. Super cold, we need every blanket, super hot, no blankets. It was really annoying, but we still slept pretty well. So well, we actually changed cuddle positions in the night. Went to bed with her being little spoon, and woke up with me being little spoon. We're just awesome.

Michigan Adventures was fun. I haven't been to an amusement park in awhile, and I have never been with a significant other. It was great with it being just the two of us. We rode a lot of water rides. She screams on those. It's the cutest. I wish that I could have taken her in a roller coaster. But, she isn't the biggest fan, and she was feeling sick. Which is okay, she was prepared to go on one with me despite all this. She is a wonderful girl. Oh...we got sunburned. Quite badly. My shoulders are still hurting a good bit. She developed a truckers burn since her AC was broken and her window was down the whole time. That day was so tiring. We had plans for the evening, we ended up just getting a pizza, eating that, showering, and sleeping. The next day brought some very uncomfortable heat with it. It was SO hot and sweaty. Shopping on that day was the worst plan that we had. I don't even want to talk about it. We got a few shirts for me, a jacket and a shirt for her and we went home and had dinner with her family. Tasty dinner. Friday night we made this awesome chicken for dinner. It was a spinach stuffed chicken. The filling was spinach, onions, mozzarella cheese, and garlic salt stuff. The chicken itself (which i smashed most of) had bread crumbs and parmesan cheese on it. We almost made a super tasty risotto. We cooked rice in chicken broth and garlic roasted cream of mushroom soup with carrots and green onions in there. It was so fucking tasty. My mouth is watering thinking about it. We also made a pie, which was also good. I made the crumbley part that goes on top. It was the best part of the pie. I enjoyed cooking with her. WHEN she comes down to North Carolina, we will be making a meal for my mother. And whoever else is there.

Jacquelynn took me to swing club on Friday night. I was really nervous and that reacted badly with the number of people that were there. I kinda shut down for awhile. She took me aside and taught me a little bit of the basics and that helped. Even though I had a little bit of a hard time with everything, I really enjoyed dancing. I would really like to get better. Which is good, because Jax LOVES swing dancing. So I kinda need to like it. I would like to at least get decent at it. Might not be anytime soon though. I have to find a place to learn/do without having the problem of people over load. She had a good time there I think. She looks so pretty when she dances. After swing, I got us a bottle of wine, and we enjoyed out last evening together. It was really nice and late. The next morning was way too early and extremely sad. As weird as it felt to fly and see the girl I had met through the internet, it felt even more strange to be leaving her behind. Why would I leave all of that behind. She is so amazing, it makes no sense to my brain to fly away from that. And everything felt so natural. Like it was where I was supposed to be. I managed to hold it together for the most part (though admittedly, I am fighting some tears right now). I lost it a little bit when I read a letter she wrote for me. And going to bed for the first time in 4 days without her was pretty tough. I miss her so much already. It's crazy.

But yeah, It was an amazing trip. My favorite trip. I am in Love with that girl. I'm already trying to think of when the next time I will be able to see her is. As she said on her blog and facebook. It's not goodbye, It's see you soon.

Michigan

Tonight, I kissed Jacquelynn for the first time. It was amazing. I also asked her I be my girlfriend. She said yes. Today was an awesome start to an amazing week.

Two Days and counting...

So it is technically more than two days until my trip, but only by a small margin. And Wednesday is almost over anyway. Regardless of how many days there are left until I fly out of here, I am VERY excited. I am Going to see an amazing girl named Jacquelynn Glass. You know her. I talk about her all the time on here (which has caused me some problems). She writes on here. In fact, if you read my blog and don't know who she is, then you probably have either a very short memory or are quite slow... because she is really the prime topic these days. Ever since we stated talking seriously last year, and even more so when we started our friendationship. Anyway, the point is, she is very important to me, I talk about her a lot and I like her a lot. And I am going to see her. (I am skyping her while typing this post and it is making me make a lot of mistakes.)

Okay, so, yes, excited, and, haven't posted on here for a very long time. So whatever about the past. Made it through spring semester okay. Blah blah blah recap. Me and Jacquelynn are doing awesome! We had a small bump a few weeks ago that you can read about on her blog. No need to recap here. But yeah, I just made it through my first summer session ever. Well, almost I have one more exam tomorrow which I am not too worried about. I have a pretty awesome grade in the class so I have a big cushion. This is really awesome because I have been checked out for about a week now with thoughts of Jacquelynn and planes. Then more Jacquelynn, because she is what happens after plane ride. I will talk more about what is going to happen as it happens. I plan on blogging while I am there. I have at least one post planned. Hopefully it will be a really happy one if everything goes according to plan.

I think this post turned out to be not as good as I thought. I got distracted a lot (JACQUELYNN)

Forced Blogging

I am writing this blog because someone "asked" me too. Of course my title made me think of forced enjoyment, a roosterteeth thing. Sadly, most of them are gone. Except volume 4, which I just watched. http://ah.roosterteeth.com/archive/?id=310&v=more you should take a look. it's corny, but funny. the first episode is the best, sadly it is gone. Oh well.

Anyway, I had a bunch of stuff I was planning on blogging about. But i forgot almost all of them. This is a bad time to blog. Megan is still not talking to me, and she has blocked me on almost every single medium. Except for twitter. Where she was still following me the last time I checked. It doesn't really bother me too much, because she seems to be quite happy now. Which is awesome. I hope it stays that way. Even if she never speaks to me again. Oh the Cain family.

My paper that I was planning on writing tonight got moved to a Sunday due date instead of Friday. It the best and worst thing that could have happened to me. Because now I am not going to finish it tonight. I'll work on it, but that's it. I have time to chill write it instead of force it. Now, I am sure most of you (lets be serious, I have maybe three readers, one who knows all this...) are saying that I could have been doing this during the week. WRONG! This week has a been a stress filled hell hole! So much work and school! I have had so little time, oh, and I lost David's spare car key. Not fun. Anyway, yeah.

I don't know that I have anything else to blog about that I remember, maybe I will do a more in depth post soon.

Why Sean Is Awesome

Hey guys :) Jacquelynn here!
I just wanted to let you know how awesome Sean is.
Look what was waiting for me when I got home!!

Isn't that the cutest little purple owl pillow ever?

I love it a lot. 

I'm very happy. I also have, like, a huge letter to read. 

:) 

That's all. I'm off to watch how I met your mother with Sean. (After that we'll probably watch some supernatural). (Clearly, we are creatures of habit).

Peace, Love, and snuggly pillows,

Jax

Work Blog

The last time I blogged in this office a lot of drama happened. I don't think it will happen again as the main starter of that drama is no longer talking to me. In fact, she has cut off all ties to me. Blocked me of Facebook, refuses to answer texts, stopped following me on sites she used to be. Everything. It's a little overkill if you ask me. I was a little flustered about it at first, but now that all is said and done, I'm pretty okay with it. She had a problem with Jacquelynn, and I probably never would have been okay with that. Plus, even though I'll miss her, I won't miss this drama. And who knows, maybe after we both cool off a little bit, we can reassess the situation and see where we stand.

I sent off Jacquelynn's present today. I'm very excited for her to get it and hear what she thinks. I am pretty sure she is going to love it. Jax's friend June, is agreement that she will enjoy the gift. I hope it makes it their without harm! It is in a soft package, the post office worker suggested it. I have no idea how long it should take to get there...According to the usps website, who has an AWESOME mobile site, it should arrive on the 5th. Which I think is when Ms. Glass is heading home, so it should be waiting there for her beautiful self.

Um, I feel I should have something else to talk about. I haven't really sat down and played a video game in awhile. Well, that isn't exactly true. I played the week after spring break. Because that was a pretty chill week. Plus it helped me deal with some crazy women. Speaking of which I would just like to say that I am very happy that I kept my cool for the most part and didn't fall back on the huge jerk I was a little while ago with my anger.

So Jax just suggest that I blog about what her gift is. She apparently doesn't want to wait for what it is. Very well, I got you a hot pink jacket with a matching bracelet. I know that usually pink isn't your color, but I figured you could make an exception. Okay, so that isn't what I got her. It's actually a I can't think of anything ridiculous that isn't INSANE. That is sad. Anyway, at least a hint. What I got you is not pink. Nor is it orange. And you'll love it.

Alright, now I am done because I am at a loss for what to say next.

My Sleepy Saturday as a Cute Nerd

So, I didn't get to sleep as much as I wanted to last night as I told one of my co-workers that I would cover for them this morning. I also forgot that I did this so I stayed up quite late with Jacquelynn. Which was nice, because, spending time with her is nice. Anyway, I woke up WAY to early today and have been doing boss stuff all day. After I destroyed (did laundry) at work for a good number of hours I went home and took a nap. Then the real awesomeness started.

I woke up, feeling ready to tackle what I had planned to do today. Shop! It took about 5 minutes, the quickest shopping experience of my life. I was getting a gift for Jacquelynn. I really do hope that she loves it. I am mailing it out tomorrow. Coupled with that, I finished writing her letter. It's pretty huge. It doesn't exactly fold and puffs out the envelope. It's a good thing it is going in a box.

During that letter writing process I also nerded out with one of Jax's friend who was asking me about Zombies. I am happy to report that I survived the beginning portion of my journey as well as being super nerdy. happy times were had by all.

Earlier in the day I had a Skype date with Ms. Glass. We had some delicious Pizza and watched an interesting movie about a couple struggling with the death of their daughter and come back together by helping a struggling teen. Happy times.

Today has been an awesome day, I'm all smiles, and I plan to finish it out the best way I can. Talking to Jacquelynn.
