Some of you may have noticed that I've practically been AWOL lately. My blogs have practically dwindled down to nonexistent and my posts/blog replies have as well.

See, I've found this thing called a life lately. I know, we've heard rumors about it for ages but there really is such a thing. I've started dating a guy who is pretty cool once you get past the Riley factor.

Anyone who is familiar with the Buffy Season Five version of Riley will totally get what I mean. I almost decided to give up on this relationship before it even got going because I don't do to well with clingy jealousy crap. However, we did something Buffy and Riley didn't actually do. I told him to knock if off - - and he didn't give up as easily as Riley did. The boy has stamina. I'll totally give him that. He still goes a tiny bit Riley on me from time to time but as long as he doesn't go all in with it I can overlook it. I mean he's got to live with the fact that I don't like to get to close to fast. That can be hard for some people to take.

He totally has the birthday thing down though. Number one, he actually remembered my birthday. Also, he got me some cool things. A Pirates of the Caribbean shirt, the new Nine Inch Nails cd, and "From Hell" on dvd - he totally knows I have this thing for Johnny Depp. That and he has me over for barbecue all the time. He grills stuff up really nicely. He even makes me pancakes ....

Okay, enough gushy crap. I'm so not a gushy person. Really, I'm not.
