Just My Journal

"Do you want to wait in the car? Or do you want to help start the fire?" Nic asked. It was a cool December night, and the prospect of starting a fire didn't enthuse me. "I'll stay here," I said. As he walked away, I grabbed my phone to update my roommates. It took him a couple of minutes before he came back. Enough to tell them how it was a weird date and how he's nice but I'm not sure yet. The fire was nice, warm. Two chairs were set up, side by side. Nic put a lantern on a tree branch to light our way back. It didn't take long for us to kiss under the stars. It was intense, the kind of kiss where explosions go off in the background. The scent of bonfire lingered long after we left his backyard, and as the fire died out ours didn't. He lead me from the fire pit back the house where we spent the night in the basement. Well, most of the night. I left at 3 AM because I had class the next day, not to mention my roommates were wondering where I...

When people ask how I met you, I like to answer with "online." Although that's the simplified answer, it's the truth. The long answer, we met through an app called Whisper . If you've never used Whisper it's a confession app. People post about anything and everything there. Me? I was posting about my relationship life, or lack of one probably. I don't remember what the confession was that got us talking, probably something along the lines of "just a nice girl looking for a nice guy." You say that you messaged first, although I beg to differ. That's something we still disagree about to this day. We didn't message long before you mentioned dinner. Applebee's for wings. But instead of meeting at the restaurant, you wanted to meet in a parking garage. I was skeptical, to say the least. You wanted to meet there because there were cameras so my car wouldn't get stolen or something like that. And while the cameras made me feel a littl...

what is such the big deal with snapchat? i mean, i know it's a fun app, i certainly enjoy using it. but the top three friends feature is just causing problems lately. for example... a girl has a boyfriend/ guy she's been seeing. she is his top friend on snapchat for while. it's a good sign: you two are talking and you're his favorite person to be talking to. but one day, she checks his top friends and (dun dun dun) it isn't her. instead (judging from the screen name) it's a different girl. and so she freaks out and starts to worry and gets jealous etc. this situation has certainly happened to me, but i've never reacted that way. instead i kinda just brush it off. i know where i stand with this guy and i like where it's going. as far as i know, i'm the only girl he's seeing and he's never given me a reason not to trust him. so really, what reason do i have to be jealous? maybe it's just me or maybe i should be worried? but right no...

it's the timeless question: how do you know when you're in love? maybe it's the feeling of butterflies in your stomach when you see them pass by maybe it's the tingling feeling down your spine when you catch them looking at you the red blush that comes across your face when you can't help but smile when you look at them maybe i can't tell you what the feeling of being in love is because it's different for every person i know there's a difference between loving someone and being in love with them but here's what love is for me it's being able to do anything with them and still have a good time it's feeling at home when i'm with him it's being able to sleep in his bed and he's willing to sleep somewhere else - just because he's a gentleman that way when he's being weird and tucking me in at night, throwing me the "good pillow" just because when i wake up earlier than him and have to stay quiet beca...
