Oh happy day!

judecorpI had an absolutely amazing day. These have been few and far between lately, so I thought I would share. If you are in a bad mood, or otherwise do not want to see the ramblings of an ecstatic person, skip. :)

So I went to bed around 4:15, and fell asleep after 5am. I was still buzzing from the conversation with the pretty princess. One part in particular stuck in my head - princess saying, 'We're flirting,' my replying, 'Shamelessly,' and princess saying, 'Fuck shame.' Awesome.
So I woke up at 10 and showered, and by then my brother was up (he arrived around 2:30am and was en route from RI to MO). We watched some tv and goofed, and I went to Race & Ethnicity. While there, I had a good time being silly with Christa and Tracey and just having fun. I talked to my professor and got everything straightened out for my independent study, so I should be able to get that done, and the R&E project, this weekend no problem. YAY! Monkey off my back.
I came back and Baga was still unshowered (stinky boy) and there was a package for me. It was the present from Luke that I wrote about earlier. I was floored, speechless, almost in tears. Baga was also floored. I got online to catch Luke and thank him and we chatted for a long while (goodness, I missed the Veggie) and then Baga finally went to shower.
I took him out to dinner at Chipotle, which I /love/. Mmmm. We had one of the best and most connected conversations we've had in a long time. He's always on my side, always supportive of me (especially with this A. stuff), but whenever we would talk before and I would even vaguely mention women, he would grow uncomfortable and change the subject. He stopped doing that a little while back, but I have always wondered if he was pretending to be cool with things because he knew that it was /right/ to be cool with them. At dinner, it was very obvious that he was totally cool and accepting, and I think it sunk in with him, sometime in the past month or so, that this was the way it was and I really wasn't any other way. We talked about girls, girls we liked, all kinds of things, for a long time. He'd never really done that with me before. He and I got to talking about Foo, whom he dated briefly. He said, smiling, that the biggest problem with their relationship was that she was a lesbian. He then, still smiling, said, 'I think you and she would be great together.' The good thing was not whether or not this is true (I don't know Foo all that well) but that he said it. Yay for Baga.
I got back (stuffed) from dinner, and Baga left. A. came home. He saw the gift that Luke made for me, and I think his heart sunk a bit. Yes, this is what it's like when someone is totally connected with you. Yes, we are not like that. The bitchy part of me liked seeing his fallen face just a little, because I was /so/ happy to have gotten a snippet of connection, true connection, with someone I've always been in sync with.
I was flying high by the time Groups class came along, and I was loud and flamboyant and obnoxious, and everyone loved it. People in Groups kept asking me questions: what I loved about the city, what I was like as a person, and they were all very interested in my answers. I think they were impressed that I do so much thinking - I'm always teased for it. We smiled a lot, and came up with our final project for that class, which we're going to do IN CLASS next week (no work to do at home, yay!) and that was a load off. Prof seemed to like the idea a lot. Yay. He also called me brilliant. Nice.
It rained a little bit while I was in class, which cooled things down. There were lots of warm rain puddles. Tiff and I splashed around in them and kicked water at each other and made wet footprints and laughed about Linda Blair (Tiff's latest obsession). We smelled the after-rain smell and dug on the sky and talked about LSD and enjoyed each other. We made plans to go to the State Fair this weekend. Score! She rocks.
I got home and dug on my PEZ some more. Then I AIM'd with happy2beso for a little while, which was fun. I am pretty tired, but I held out for a bit to see if pretty princess would show.
Princess was exhausted (also staying up til 5 and having to work the next morning) so it was a brief chat full of 'thank you's and promises not to let things get in the way of anything and just a little connection. I'd left a message on her machine about my happyhappy day, and she said she could hear the thrill in my voice and just really enjoyed hearing the play-by-play. So I got to relive it (and I'm reliving it again now, whoo!).
All in all, this has been the best day I've had in 2001, I think. Seriously. It was just so perfect. And right now is exactly when I need one of these days. I'm off to sleep now, perchance to dream! Night! :)
