I can't sleep.
I don't know why I can't sleep because all fucking day I've wanted nothing more than to crawl into bed and take a nice long nap. Now, it's 2am, I've been in bed for two hours watching a chick flick (which I was supposed to fall asleep during) and after the tears, nose blowing and the "Awwww... I want my life to be like that movie" thoughts... I'm just not feeling the sleep come.* Yuck.
Nate got here yesterday. Since then he's more or less seen every place I've worked/lived since I landed in Portland 2 years ago. It's been fun. Tomorrow we're going to do Saturday Market and then I need to work (which sucks, but I think Nate is okay with me not being around to drag him to different places for awhile.)
Yesterday we hung out with the Terrorist for awhile. I always worry about my friends meeting each other because of the worlds colliding effect. It's very nerve wracking. It's worse when it's someone you're dating. Before now the only boyfriend of mine Nathan had ever met was Chris and well... that went about as badly as possible. (Maybe not as badly as possible but in the 2.5 years that Chris and I were together I think he and Nate said maybe 50 sentences to each other.) So, needless to say, when Nate was about to meet the T I was kind of having a minor freak out. Nathan, the boy(i) who knows the old me, the me I don't like to admit ever existed was meeting the boy who knows very little if anything about that me. Ugh. What if they talked?!?! (Slightly irrational, I know, but pieces of the old me still can be found deep down and occasionally the paranoid, self conscious bitch shows up.)
Anyway, they met, hung out, drank a bit and though my worlds did collide a bit they didn't implode. Yay.
I need to go get in the shower.**
Latah.
*Nathan on the other hand is passed out cold and has been for quite some time. (Possibly drooling even, though you didn't hear it from me.)
**I finally got the sleepies in the middle of blogging last night so I saved and went to bed and picked it up this morning.
