Howdy~

Only three more days 'til I get my full license back!!! I'm so excited. In the past I had some minor discrepancies with the law, so it got taken for a month, then reinstated with stipulations. Now these rules are being lifted and I can drive again.

So last night: I went out with all the guys in my friends group, and decided to invite Amanda (my current interest) along for the ride. We ended up just going to Meijers with the guys, so Amanda and I left to get some food, then upon meeting with the group again, they all decided they were hungry, so we ate again. After that, everyone was just going home. It was around 1030, so Amand aand I drove around for a bit talking. A bit being until I dropped her off at 345. It was an amazing night. Truly amazing. I use the word 'amazing' because, at first, I didn't expect much to come if it, but it ended up nice.

As we drove all over Northern Michigan, we talked about everything. Parents, parenting, friends, friendships, guys, girls, booze, alcoholics, books, tv, movies, and what each of us is looking for in a 'spousal element'. It was a very fun night. I had a great time. I feel so many different things when I'm with her, shes great to be around. And she can hold her own in a conversation, which is a big turn on for me. She's smart, funny, has great ethics, religious, everythign I could want. But I think she's out of my league. I seriously have to work on my confidence levels with girls. Amanda says too about herself, that she needs to stop trying for guys that are out of her field of play, but I don't think so, I think she could have most any guy.

AHHHHHH!!!!! Okay, thats enough about her.

I'm stopping this before I end up sitting all night telling complete strangers what I find attractive about one of my friends. Its not like it matters much to any of you out there. It just matters to me. But if you have any ideas as to how, when, where, or why I could ask her out, please feel free... I just need to get over this fear of rejection first.

Goodnight all.
