Matt 2

Matt and I spent a couple hours together last night. We hadn't planned on getting together, but I didn't want to wait for the weekend. He came over to my house and we sat on the couch talking, listening to music. ("How junior high," Kristen said when I told her about it later.) It was so nice to just enjoy being together.

We talked a lot. I learned a bit more about him. Though, he probably learned more about me since I rambled on for a good while. Matt pointed out that we live in pretty opposite realities right now. He's studying anthropology and I'm studying business. I work early and he works late. I live in a technological world and he lives in an academic one. The neat thing is we're both interested in and impressed by the things the other person is doing.

We talked about religion and spirituality. It's always a sensitive topic with me, and I don't usually like talking about it. Nothing Matt said last night bothered me. That's a good sign.

All day long I've been thinking about Matt and when I can see him again. When I haven't been stressing about work, I've been thinking about what I like about him. Yes, it's an official junior high crush. Oh, it feels good!

I like that Matt is ambitious. I like that he wants to have a job where he wears a tie every day. I like that Matt has a good relationship with his family. I like that he wants me to meet his family. Naturally, I want him to meet mine too. I like that Matt is humorous without being silly all the time. I like that he has a better vocabulary than me...hopefully I can learn something. I like that he's conscientious about my time. I like that he likes Guinness and Tears for Fears. (Two very important pleasures of mine.)
