Where you born on a chicken farm?
As of now right this minute as I am typing this into my blog I have been dating Emily for exactly 201 days 20 hours and 48 minutes. I can honestly say that since then my life has never been the same. That exact moment on an early Friday morning will never leave my mind for as long as I live. I was camping with my family that weekend. I had the Thursday before off work so we went early to the campground and set up. I was not enthused to be there at all. I remember distinctly how bored I thought I would be the entire time. Luckily Emily was able to talk to me through Myspace messages. I spent all day Thursday talking to her late into the night. I was sleeping in my Mom's van because there was not enough room for me to sleep comfortably in the camper we brought. This was fine with me because I could stay up as late as I wanted without bothering anyone else in my family. Emily and I had been talking about how my Mom had asked me about her and if we were dating and how everyone thinks we would be a good couple. She told me to look at her comments to see what her friend Beth was saying about us. I told her I saw it and said that it sounds like from the half of the conversation that I read that she is going to wait for me to ask her out, which horrified me I have never asked anyone out I have barely been asked out myself. She played dumb and acted like she had no idea what I was talking about and quickly assumed that I was drunk. Eventually the conversation shifted to the question game. The question game is something Emily and I used to do just to get to know each other and because it was very entertaining. We quickly got bored of the question game and started telling each other cheesy pickup lines. After doing that for a while I started to get tired and started dosing off. It makes me sound like a horrible person falling asleep like that but right before I go to sleep and that half sleep where you are just starting to loose control of the ability to open your eyes is where I enter intense thought. All I could think about was Emily and that's how it had been for a while. I had never experienced this before. I have had girlfriends before though not many, I had realized that I have never really liked any of them let alone loved them. With Emily it was different. I distinctly remember thinking that to myself in the cold back seat of the van. Emily was still sending me Myspace messages containing cheesy pickup lines and I debated to myself weather I should ask her out or not. After a few minutes of stalling with her to make up my mind I finally decided after what seemed like hours of deliberation that I would go for it and I would do it now. I nervously typed out these exact words on my phone "Lol ok I got one more then I have to get some sleep lol so do want to make it official and start dating? Lol". I closed my eyes laid there for a second with one finger on the send button and one on the delete button. I was so anxious and nervous yet confident at the same time. There were a million thoughts running through my head. And then I did it. At 1:47 AM early morning on Friday June 18th I sent it. My heart was racing as I waited for the reply. Precisely 3 minutes later I got one. All it said was "ummm... yess! lol". At that second the biggest smile came across my face. At that second I was as happy as I have ever been before. And ever since then it's been perfect. I love Emily more and more every day. I feel like we are perfect for each other. She always says that I will get tired of her one day but I know that I will get tired of myself before she ever has that kind of effect on me. I know it's only been 4 months but I feel like I have been waiting all my life to meet her. This can't be a simple infatuation I know it's true love. Call me what you will and talk all the shit you want on how there is no such thing as true love but I know at least for me I have found it. In the vast sea of worthless people out there, all the wastes of human flesh and bone piled together in a poor excuse of a human being. I have found the one that I truly care about more than myself. I would give anything for Emily just to feel happy for a split second. I don't expect anyone else to get what I am saying or to agree with it at all. I don't even care what you have to say about my situation. I know what it is in my heart and I am in it for the long haul. Come whatever may I am up for it. Be it good times or bad. I wish I could verbally express it better, but English words that are in my vocabulary just fall short when I try to explain it so I will leave it at this. I love you Emily with all of my heart. I never want anyone else you are the only one for me and I couldn't picture myself without you at this point. I honestly don't remember what it's like to wake up and not have that void I felt before I had you. I love you more than Elvis loves fried chicken. Happy anniversary.
