man. i can't wait to see how my body reacts. for a while it seemed like i wasn't going to be affected - my internal clock is screwed anyway - but my being awake right now poses an interesting twist.
i'm actually pretty sleepy, but i'm so happy right now.
the men in my life are really something. i finally caught up with ja today, and to make up for having me wait so long for him, he took me to this gorgeous authentic mexican restaurant where i had THE most amazing carne asada (and horchata! mmmm...). while we were at the restaurant, he bought me a lily/rose bouquet, which smells heavenly, and after sketching me while i was writing, we went down to the marina, where i walked along the pacific ocean for the very first time.
all this was accompanied by nonstop conversation with many geeky references (family guy, futurama, various comics, random stuff from the ten years we've known each other), and even though we hadn't seen each other in four years, it's like we picked up right where we left off. i was so happy to see him today. best date ever!
i'll post pics of my gorgeous flowers and the awesome freehand sketch (which took all of two minutes, if that - i didn't even know he was drawing me) soon.
night/morning, my loves! your lovely lady lily must get some rest.
