I just made a really embarassing decimated-by-cuteness noise when I clicked on the puppy link.
OK, details about my date:
His name is Aaron. He works in IT to pay the bills but he's an actor with a degree in classical voice performance. He sang for me and it gave me goosebumps. We met when I answered his personal ad on OKCupid--I'll get over being embarassed about that eventually, I swear.. His ad really appealed to me because he said things about trying to live more compassionately and thinking that a person's purpose is to learn as much as possible all the time. We emailed a bunch and talked on the phone for a while and decided to meet up last night.
It was so nice. We were instantly comfortable with each other and the conversation flowed so easily; I love experiencing that intuitive sense of ease with someone. It made the whole evening relaxing and revealing and fun. We talked for hours, about politics and Shakespeare and art and the creation of myth and on and on and on.
It didn't hurt that he's *adorable*. And there were smoochies at the end. And we're going out again this weekend. I'm pretty stoked.
