The Girl



So I alluded to a girl a few posts back. Relationally-wise-ish. So here's the deal. I have a girlfriend. For the first time in my life, I have a girlfriend. I'm a boyfriend. I'm someone's boyfriend. Weird. I'm not single. I'm "taken". If you can't tell, this is odd for me. I'm not used to being anything other than single and sometimes looking. I'm not anymore. I'm done looking. I have found. Waldo would be proud.


Two days ago I asked her if she would like to be my girlfriend. Almost immediately she lept into my arms, her body weight causing me to fall backwards onto the ground (I was not physically injured, dear reader, as I was already sitting). Eventually she also said "yes", which I had assumed given the reaction.


This comes after three weeks of the awkward "i-know-you're-interested-but-we-just-really-met-so-lets-not-date-just-yet" phase. Ah, what good times.
So yeah. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'm too in shock to think of what to say.

Before the Update

Yeah, I'll give you the goods in a bit.

For now, do this: Go to www.google.com and search for "miserable failure". See the number one result.

Oh, how the internet pleasures me.

Threadless.com - A Shameless Plug

Threadless.com

Threadless.com is a fantastic website devoted to creating amazingly sweet t-shirts. Users submit their design ideas for shirts, and then they rate each other's designs. The company then takes their favorite designs, creates t-shirts out of them, and prints them up. You and I, the users, get to surf their website (see above link), check their sweet designs, and order shirts.

I'm here to say that threadless.com changed my life. Never again will I purchase a graphic t-shirt from a store in which I walk into. No longer. From now on, my t-shirts come to me.

Over the last couple months, I have orderd a few shirts from threadless.com. I encourage you to do the same. Most of them are priced for about $15 (US) and cost about $4 (or less) for shipping, up here to Canada anyways. So for around $20, you get amazing t-shirts that look great, feel great, and will last years. They're comfortable, fit well, and feel durable. I <3. Here are some of the shirts that I've recently ordered:

If you decide to purchase anything from threadless.com, visit it first through the link that I sent you. The "referral" will get me $3 credit at their store, which I covet intensely.

Thank you for reading this product service announcement. I am in no way associated with threadless.com, I just like their shirts. Also, "shirt" without an 'r' is a potentially disasterous typo.

Your friend,
