What a weekend! I met a boy last weekend while I was in Chicago -- another graduate student at a University down there -- and after hitting it off and sweet-talking each other's ear off this week, he agreed to drive up to Ann Arbor this weekend to hang out. And hang out we did! What a sweet, caring, intelligent, and super-sexy guy I've found! He's totally amazing. Cute. Political. Nerdy. A real catch :) And yes, that's right, I can say without hesitation now that I have a *boyfriend*. Holy canoli!
To perhaps give some hope to all you Internet-trolling guys out there (like me!), we actually met on Craigslist. Yes, you heard correctly! After my friend Spencer who I was staying with in Chicago left for work last Friday, I laid on his couch perusing the Craigslist M4M postings to see what was interesting in Chicago's online gay sex scene. I just *happened* to read his posting, which was engaging / concise / smart / political, saying that he was looking for a good "match." I replied, not really thinking too much of it (in my experience, replying to ten Craigslist ads will net you about one response) -- but he responded quickly! We set up a date, and the rest is (barely) history. So to all the naysayers out there: you really can meet cute / smart boys online!
It's exciting!! I haven't found someone I've really been seriously interested in... gosh, years? Probably since undergrad, and those messy situations hardly count for much in the way of relationship experience. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I think we really click in a great way and I'm looking forward to spending more QT with him. Sadly, though, he lives in Chicago, and I'm headed home to North Carolina this weekend -- and then soon thereafter I'm off to San Fran for the summer. We're talking about me flying out from SF to Chicago in June for a few days though :) Agghhh -- I can't effing wait!!
Okay. I got that off my chest :) I needed to share / gloat a bit. Hope everyone had a fab weekend!

P.S.And no, he's not Japanese - I've just been styling my hair like the blonde boy in the drawing lately (or trying to, anyways!).
