Shakespeare's Sonnets, Numbers 26 & 75

So, my world is falling down. Zack is leaving tomorrow, and no more until at least Christmas time, if then. But, there's e-mail, and snail mail (gosh, how I hate that term. And since when is sending an actual hand-written letter against everyone's better judgement. It's so personal and personable. You can tell so much more about a person by their handwriting.) Thanks, Steve, for letting me vent to you, and Angela, no crazy-obsession for me. Just a little heartache to go with my breakfast.
Is it okay to cry even if you don't love them yet?

Alec, the 12-year old I nanny for, is very inquisitive. Lots of questions about my love and sex life (to neither of which do I have anything to speak of), as well as various other subjects such as puberty, Zack, "Angie", my cats, living by myself, marriage, and my lack of asking Zack to be my boyfriend. Is this normal for a 12-year old to ask? Is it okay for me to answer almost all his questions truthfully? Well, I think it's good for me to be truthful with him. I think it builds trust with him, although I tell him when some of the questions he asks are inappropriate (like when the last time I had sex was... I can't even remember!). It definitely keeps me on my toes.

Happy birthday to the following:
Aaron on the 8th
Traci on the 11th
Donna Moody on the 14th
Cindy on the 15th
Amanda on the 15th
Me!! on the 18th

And an extra special "Thank you" to Zack (sorry guys, he's been on my mind too much for me not to talk about him, and mostly I'm keeping it in my head, and using that nifty filter not to have everything from my brain gush out of my mouth... or in this case my fingers) for giving me (although not yet) the movie "Gladiator" for my birthday. I will always remember it as the first movie we watched together. I hope it will be the first of many. And I can't wait to give him the hooked up gift for his birthday!! Ironically, it fits right in with all my other boyfriends; they've all but three been between September 25 and 30. That even includes two (Taylor and Steve) that I haven't gone out with! That's like... 6! That's funny to me.

Anyways, I hope everyone reading this will have a super week, and I love you both!

P.S. I'd like to give a shout-out to my man candy that has recently returned from his mission, Honey Buns. You'd better get your butt out here so that you can not sleep on the couch! Miss you much!
