Okay, so I haven't updated in a while. Lots going on in my life. I met a new boy. I know, I know, how many times have you read that in these pages? But the weird thing is that I was totally cynical about him (and men in general) because of John the Jerk and didn't think I'd like him and thought he'd be a doofus, and he turned out to be fantabulous. Despite everything. Really really fantabulous. His name is Matt. He's 28 and he's really funny and sweet. Like, the other day, I had some friends over, and after charming everyone all evening, he got up while I was giving Megan M. a tarot reading and cleaned up and ran the dishwasher--and I didn't even realize he was doing it. Happy sigh. And he's a damn good kisser. (Even though he's a full foot taller than me).

Do you all remember my theory on men? There are two types--Mike types and David types, named after my two most extreme ex-boyfriends. David types are cold fish. They want to have a relationship where no one actually knows the two of you are together. No PDA, no reference to the relationship in public, no New Year's kiss. David types think they lose face by showing any sort of emotion whatsoever. Mike types are the opposite. They want the world to only exist when the two of you are together. They feel they lose face if they do not show the world that they have someone they care about deeply. So David types are distant and Mike types are clingy. I had always thought I would be stuch with David types for the rest of my life, because although I like an attentive guy, I much prefer distance to clinginess. I can't handle possessive men, and (I thought) Mike types would always be possessive, like Mike was.

But Matt! He is a Mike type without the possessiveness or clinginess. He truly wants me to be happy, and can deal with the fact that he's not my only friend. Happy happy sigh. I've found the perfect man. And he can make me laugh!

I'll stop gushing now. But I haven't been this happy in a long while. Yay for me.
