So again I chose to ignore all my friend’s carefully planned advice and go with my gut. I hold in my hand (not really but that’s far more dramatic) yet another plane ticket down to North Carolina. That’s right folks, I’m going back down there this weekend to see Older Navy. That is 2 times in the past month. Crazy.

I also told the very very very cute lawyer that I had been dating that I was not seeing other people anymore and he and I should be friends. Surprisingly, he seemed okay with it. He said he was pissed and I was awfully dumb to give him up, but he understood and would like to be friends. We even hung out tonight and it was no biggie. He told me that even if things don’t work out with this other relationship I’m in, we shouldn’t act like there is a remote possibility that he and I might start dating again, otherwise one of us is bound to get hurt. I agree, we’re gonna actually try this crazy friend thing.

Also, Asheville called and I was left totally unphased. I suppose that’s supposed to be an entry in of itself but I’m really not bothered by it at all.

But back to Older Navy. He still has not actually said to me “we’re not going to be seeing other people.” I guess this is a conversation for the weekend. We’ll see. But we talk every day, several times a day. He tells me how much he misses me and how excited he is to see me. He ends every other sentence with “but you dig me right?” and a chuckle. It’s terribly cute.

We had a weird talk last night about him meeting my parents. It’s bound to happen sometime. Yes, they know he’s 35 but they don’t really know the nature of our relationship. As far as they’re concerned he and I are good friends, and he’s helping me record my album. Both are true but there’s so so much more. So basically Older Navy got a little upset because he was (getting ahead of himself) thinking about how my parents might not approve. I told him that they get past anything as long as their kids are happy. And as long as I was happy with Older Navy, they would be okay with that.

So anyway it’s 1:30 in the morning and he and I took a brief phone break to get ready for bed. I’m waiting for him to call me back before I can snooze off. I get to sleep in a bit late cause the landlord is coming tomorrow to fix our door. Woo hoo!

Anyway goodnight dear readers. I’ll let you know what happens this weekend.
