Life is good ... Only one way to improve it

Depending on how you count it, it is 15 or 16 days till the Winter Gathering ... Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is being Released July 16th ... I had a yummy omelet for breakfast ... There is a nice blanket of snow on the ground with more coming ....my love life is ACTUALLY going well for once* ... The only way I can imagine improving life right now is to be lying in front of a fire, watching the snow, reading HBP, being fed the delicious omelet by my romantic interest, as all of our friends frolic about.

* Yes, that is right kids, I have stumbled upon a young man who is NICE to me. NICE with out the prospect of *ahem* instant gratification. He is neither intimidated by me ... Nor arrogant (at least with me!) He gets pleasure from my happiness (as I do his)... Could this mean I have matured? Or have I just gotten lucky? I can't remember EVER having a romantic relationship that wasn't also a power struggle... Was that due to my having some childish need for domination? Bad luck? Some combination of the two? As I recall previous romantic relationships I was always martyring myself or being domineering.. Twisting a martyred knife offers no appeal ... Nor does being strident and demanding. Could this be why I have turned into a 13 year old girl? Is it because I have discarded the hard exteriors that I usually use? Or did I discard the exteriors because I turned into a 13 year old girl? I need a smoke.
