Okay I think one of the cutest things ever just happened to me.

Are you ready for this? I'm not sure you are...ready???

I just got a postcard in the mail from Asheville (the boy) from Israel (the place). It starts off "Dear NotIntoYou - I am sitting on the bust next to you right now - you are strumming your guitar and I am just thinking about you..."

Could you just die? He wrote me a postcard while I was sitting next to him. Ugh I'm in stupid girl heaven right now. I'm all mushy and crazy and giddy. I can't believe it. I have to think that this is one of the sweetest things a guy has ever done for me. Is that totally pathetic? Is romance that dead that a postcard is so romantic that I turn to putty?

Now maybe I'm making this a bit more googly than normal, but Asheville and I had a talk last night. A good talk, where we put all our cards out on the table and really had at them. We both admitted how terrified we are about this actually working out, and how cool we thought the other person was. He said to me (I swear I almost slapped him and kissed him at the same time) "Can't we just sort of shelve all this serious relationship talk until you move here in April?" What the hell is that? “Sure, Asheville. I’ll just drop everything and move down to North Carolina without being even 10% sure that you even want to be in a relationship with me.” So after I stopped convulsing with laughter we came to a happy medium. No more “where is this all heading” talk until he comes up here in February. That way we have about a month to get to know each other (hate each other, like each other, dare I say love each other) over the phone and email and then we can decide whether we want to have that talk face to face. Sounds good to me. I feel really good about this.

So we both decided that if we want we can use each other as an excuse not to date other people, but if the opportunity arises that we are free to do so. This is good. I no longer have to be on the prowl or the lookout, I can just be. It's been a long time since I've been able to do that. I can't say that this new chilled out NotIntoYou will make for a very good blog entry, but I'll try to keep up the drama as much as I can. There's always drama to be had. Look what I did with a fucking postcard!
