Yesterday I saw The Pursuit of Happyness with the guy I’m dating. We used the coupons we got for Christmas to go to the movies, get popcorn, and a medium drink. We went to the Pearlridge West theaters, and watched the 5:05 showing. We both enjoyed it a lot. It was very different from Letters From Iwo Jima– that’s for sure! In all honesty, I enjoyed myself more watching the Pursuit of Happyness. It left me feeling good for the main characters, and wistful, I suppose. I really admired how he took such risks. He took gambles that I probably would not have had the guts to take myself in all honesty. And I’m sure a lot of people fail when they take chances like these, but I still admire people for trying. It was kind of funny seeing the Rubick’s cube. I kind of remember when those first came out as a kid, and I believe we had 1. I never could do it though.

We also studied a bit after the movie. I have my OS portion of the A+ certification I have to take, and he is studying for a couple of certs himself. I enjoy his company a lot. It’s very relaxing.

Today, it was back to work. We managed to grab lunch together at the restaurant inside the YWCA downtown. It was a nice atmosphere. It felt good to be away from the office.

I met up with him after work, and we went to Coffee Talk for a little bit, walked over and found this new store that sells urban vinyl figures and I bought 2 nano spores, and then we picked up his car and drove separately to my house. He was so tired, he ended up falling asleep on the couch during Battlestar Galactica (which he loves) and I let him sleep for about 1.5 hours til about 10:30PM.

Before he’d crashed, we ate Hickory Farms sausage, sweet hot mustard, and gouda cheese on crackers. As a kid I always loved those Hickory Farms sets. I mentioned it to him once in December, and he bought me one for Xmas. We ate some of it today. It was pretty fun, and reminded me a little of being a kid again. We had one of those sets just once when I was little.

There is something about watching him sleep that is almost heartbreakingly sweet. He truly is a nice person, and I hope he has a good life. I know there’s a great chance we’ll drift apart in time, and go out with other people, but I really enjoy his company for now. And whatever happens, he deserves a lot of great things out of life. I really believe he is one of the nicest people I know. Heh. This post is more for my memory than anything.
